a metal oxide and/or a metal hydroxide.
19. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein said organic amine and said phosphoric acid and/or said inorganic phosphate react to form an organic phosphate.
20. The coating according to claim 19 , wherein said organic phosphate reacts with said metal oxide and/or said metal hydroxide to form oxiaminophosphate.
21. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein said organic amine is a quaternary amine.
22. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein said organic amine is morpholine, dicyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, an aliphatic amine, an aromatic amine, melamine, hexamethylentetramine, pentamethylentetramine or any combination thereof.
23. The method according to claim 22 , wherein said ethanolamine is a mono, di or tri ethanolamine or any combination thereof.
24. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein said metal oxide and/or said metal hydroxide is formed in solution by adding a base to a metal salt solution.
25. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein said metal of said metal oxide and/or said metal hydroxide is magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, molybdenum, aluminum or any combination thereof.
26. The coating according to claim 25 , wherein said metal is magnesium.
27. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein said metal oxide is MgO.
28. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein said metal hydroxide is Mg(OH)2.
29. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein said mixture is a solution, emulsion suspension or slurry.
30. The coating according to claim 29 , wherein said mixture is an aqueous mixture.
31. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein the thickness of said layer is between 1-100 nm.
32. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein the thickness of said layer is between 5-60 nm.
33. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein said metal object comprises iron, magnesium, aluminum or any combination thereof.
34. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein said mixture further comprising surface active agent, anti-corrosive agents, bactericides, colorants, or a combination thereof.
35. The coating according to claim 18 , wherein said metal object is a metal plate or a metal sheet.
