precoated

Factory-applied layer present

Precoated means already covered with a coating before sale or use.

Precoated products—paper, metal, seeds, cookware—come ready with a protective or functional layer applied: precoated steel resists corrosion, precoated baking pans need no greasing.

The prefix emphasizes that the coating step has been done for you.
