What Is Cerakote?
Cerakote is a Polymer-Ceramic Composite coating that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers and wood. The unique formulation used for Cerakote ceramic coating enhances a number of physical performance properties including abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness. Each of these properties is rigorously tested to guarantee that Cerakote products remain at the forefront of the ceramic coatings market. Cerakote ceramic coatings utilize state-of-the-art technology to out-perform any competitive coating in both laboratory settings and real world applications.
What materials can you Cerakote?
Cerakote can be applied to most substrates including but not limited to: Aluminum, steel, titanium, brass, copper, chrome plating, glass, polymers, plastics, wood, and even some fabrics! Depending on the series used, baking may or may not be required allowing items and materials that cannot be oven cured to still be coated. The H series and Elite series can be baked at lower temps on a longer cycle as needed. C series is the air cured version good for fabrics, plastics, temperature sensitive materials, electronics etc.
Industries Cerakote can be used in:
- Firearms
- 3D Printing
- Aerospace
- Automotive Parts
- Bicycles
- Fishing
- Fitness Equipment
- Kitchen and Bath
- Microphones and Audio
- Oil and Gas
How is Cerakote useful for firearms?
Cerakote has the leading advantage of being a “thin film” coating. This makes it ideal for close tolerance parts found on almost every firearm! Temperature resistance up to 500 deg. on most firearms ensures durability and adhesion when it counts.This combined with ceramic technology offers a highly wear resistant coating while maintaining functionality and reliability. Then there are the almost endless color choices, custom mixes, and professional applicator network! As if this wasn’t enough, it also offers superior corrosion resistance, chemical resistance and UV stability.
Cerakote has more color choices and application choices than any other firearm coating available. There is a product series available for applications other than firearms. It has been tested extensively as shown and documented and is currently in use by more manufacturers than any other firearms or high temperature ceramic coating. Depending on the series, Cerakote offers temperature resistance anywhere from 300 to 2000 degrees.
