Applications of Cerakote

1. Firearms: Cerakote is widely used in the firearms industry to protect against corrosion, enhance durability, and provide a custom look. It is applied to both metal and plastic parts, including barrels, receivers, slides, and magazines.
2. Automotive: In the automotive industry, Cerakote is used to coat engine components, exhaust systems, wheels, and trim pieces. It provides heat resistance, corrosion protection, and aesthetic enhancement.
3. Aerospace: Aerospace applications include coating components that require high heat resistance and corrosion protection. Cerakote is used on parts such as turbine blades, engine components, and structural parts.
4. Consumer Electronics: Cerakote is applied to electronic devices like smartphones, laptops, and accessories to enhance scratch resistance, improve grip, and customize appearance.
5. Sports Equipment: Sports equipment such as bicycles, golf clubs, and outdoor gear benefit from Cerakote’s durability and weather resistance.
6. Industrial Components: In industrial settings, Cerakote is used to protect machinery parts, tools, and equipment from wear, corrosion, and chemical exposure.

Performance and Benefits

• Durability:
• Abrasion Resistance: Cerakote provides exceptional abrasion resistance, making it ideal for high-wear applications.
• Impact Resistance: The coating is resistant to impact, reducing the risk of damage from drops or collisions.
• Corrosion Protection:
• Chemical Resistance: Cerakote is highly resistant to chemicals, solvents, and corrosive substances, protecting the underlying material from degradation.
• Moisture Barrier: It provides a barrier against moisture, preventing rust and corrosion in humid or wet environments.
• Heat Resistance:
• High-Temperature Stability: Cerakote can withstand extreme temperatures, making it suitable for applications such as engine parts and firearm barrels.
• Thermal Cycling: The coating maintains its properties even under rapid temperature changes, ensuring long-term performance.
• Customizability:
• Color Variety: Cerakote is available in a wide range of colors, allowing for aesthetic customization and branding.
• Pattern Options: It can be applied in various patterns, including camouflage, digital prints, and custom designs.
• Lubricity:
• Reduced Friction: Cerakote reduces friction between moving parts, improving the efficiency and lifespan of mechanical components.
• Self-Lubricating: Some formulations have self-lubricating properties, further enhancing performance in applications with moving parts.
• Thin Application:
• Minimal Build-Up: Cerakote is applied in thin layers (typically 0.5 to 1 mil), which does not significantly alter the dimensions or weight of the coated item.
• Precision: The thin application allows for precise coating of intricate and detailed parts.
• Aesthetic Enhancement:
• Custom Finishes: Beyond protection, Cerakote enhances the visual appeal of products, providing a high-quality, professional finish.
• Matte and Gloss Options: It is available in various finishes, including matte, satin, and gloss, to suit different aesthetic preferences.
