the word decoating

[Anonymous]

Dear sirs
I am writing my master thesis about removal of technical coatings. Many technical articles and companies describe their coating removal activities with the word “ Decoating”, however I have not found any entry for this world in well known English dictionaries ? My question is simple : why is this word not explained in such dictionaries ?

It's a technical term, specific to an industry.
