Differences Between Cerakote and Traditional Paint
-
Composition
-
Traditional paint: Primarily composed of resin and solvents, making it more brittle and less wear-resistant.
-
Cerakote: Contains ceramic particles, providing superior hardness and durability.
-
Coating Thickness
-
Cerakote coatings are approximately 0.001 inches (25 microns) thick, ensuring minimal impact on part tolerances, unlike powder coatings, which are generally thicker.
-
Durability
-
Scratch & Wear Resistance: Cerakote is at least 10 times more durable than regular paint.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Outperforms stainless steel in salt spray tests, making it ideal for humid or coastal environments.
-
High-Temperature Resistance: Some Cerakote coatings can withstand temperatures up to 980°C (1800°F), making them suitable for firearm barrels, exhaust systems, and other heat-exposed components.
