Why Cerakote?

Welcome to the world's only company producing Cerakote ceramic coatings. Cerakote is a world leader in the production of thin-layer ceramic coatings and modern technologies. Our innovative coatings are used in a variety of industries, from automotive to aerospace, from consumer products to defense. We proudly export our products to over 85 countries every day. We make it easy and affordable to buy and use Cerakote. Cerakote is the perfect solution for anyone looking for durable, abrasion and corrosion resistant coatings. CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Cerakote's extreme chemical resistance protects your components even in the harshest conditions. Cerakote retains its color and properties when exposed to chemicals such as: • Gun cleaners • WD-40® • Brake cleaner • Denatured alcohol • Paint thinner • Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) • Acetone • Gasoline • Diesel • White spirit • Paint stripper • 5% HCL solution • Bleach • Drano® • Household cleaning products • Cerakote Disinfectants vs. Anodizing. Cerakote COLOR CONSISTENCY All Cerakote colors meet the Delta E color consistency standard of 1 or less. Typically, the human eye only notices color differences when Delta E is 2 or higher, making Cerakote an excellent replacement for anodizing for high-volume finishes. Anodizing Color consistency often varies significantly from piece to piece and batch to batch due to chemical differences and subtle variations in the substrate that are difficult to control. EFFECT ON ALUMINUM ALLOYS Cerakote Cerakote does not negatively affect the fatigue properties of aluminum alloys. Anodizing

Color consistency often varies significantly from piece to piece and batch to batch due to chemical differences and subtle variations in the substrate that are difficult to control. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Cerakote Cerakote is free of heavy metals and meets volatile organic compound (VOC) standards in all 50 US states. Additionally, the Cerakote coating complies with REACH, RoHS and Proposition 65 regulations. Anodizing The chromic acid anodizing process releases hexavalent chromium, a strong carcinogen, into the environment. As a result, the use of hexavalent chromium is increasingly restricted by regulations. Cerakote vs Temperature When performance, appearance and temperature stability count, only one coating takes the podium in all three categories at once. Cerakote high-temperature coatings are an ideal solution for parts such as exhaust systems, manifolds, turbochargers and intake manifolds. Cerakote vs PVD/DLC coatings Both manufacturers and customers expect the highest quality finishes. Exposure to corrosive environments, wear and abrasion, and the action of aggressive chemicals negatively affect parts and finished products. Cerakote ceramic coatings are an excellent improvement and a great alternative to PVD (physical vapor deposition), Ionbond and DLC (diamond-like carbon) coatings. Cerakote is an innovator in ceramic coating technology, offering unrivaled corrosion protection, chemical resistance and abrasion resistance – all in an ultra-thin ceramic coating. Cerakote can be applied to most surfaces and offers hundreds of different color options.

Cerakote is easily applied both manually and automatically in a simple one-coat process (requiring neither primer nor topcoat). Cerakote vs Teflon ® AND Xylan ® In offshore and marine environments, corrosion protection and performance are key for components such as fasteners, screws, threads and more. In these applications, not only low friction is important, but also corrosion protection. Recognizing Cerakote as an ideal replacement or alternative to PTFE coatings, we decided to test our product against other standard coatings used in the industry. Cerakote is a leading protective coating whose advanced technology offers unrivaled corrosion protection, chemical resistance and abrasion resistance, ideal for industrial applications including firearm customization. In corrosion resistance tests, Cerakote E-100 Blackout outperforms standard coatings such as Teflon® and Xylan® by more than 3,470 hours, showing that it is the best choice for long-term protection in extreme conditions. The Cerakote paint job, available from Weapon-Wizards.com, is an ideal option for gun owners who value durability and style. Thanks to Cerakote's excellent chemical and corrosion resistance, this coating provides an ideal alternative to traditional PVD and DLC coatings, especially in humid environments such as coastlines and marine areas.
