The primary advantage of coated strings is in their ability to withstand corrosion (due to its corrosion-resistant properties).
Sweat and oils from your skin, along with changing climates can cause your strings to deteriorate. If you do not regularly clean your strings, debris and oil will accumulate in the spaces of the wrap wire, where it accelerates the corrosion process and eventually corrupts the strings and kills the tone.
Alston QA-508 Coated Strings, on the other hand, offer a thin layer of protection compared with plain strings. You can extend the period between string changes because the coated layer slows down the accumulation of dirt and grime.
