Stainless steel has been used for years as a commodity in the most different fields of industry. Its physical and chemical resistance properties are unlike any other material, yet it may become very fragile when exposed to severe environment conditions. Polymer-derived ceramic coatings containing silazanes may be a promising alternative to this problem, acting as a protective layer to the substrate and improving its properties. Thereafter, 304 steel samples were dip-coated in HTT 1800® and derivative materials. The samples were cured at different temperatures and the coating thermal properties and chemical affinity to liquids was tested. In comparison to the raw substrate, the coated samples exhibited a more oleophobic and more hydrophilic behavior. As the curing temperature increased, both polar and non-polar interaction to the sample surface became greater. The coating material has proven to be very stable at high temperatures and almost no mass loss was detected at 1000 oC.
