Adhesion
This is one area that can be incredibly simple or complex, depending on how much digging you want to do into the various testing methods. You can, for instance, look up what an ASTM D3359 Read more…
Hardness
One scientific test, the ASTM D3363, rates Cerakote coatings with a pencil hardness of 9H (The hardest pencil-type). It also rates them at a scratch resistance of 6H. While you wouldn’t want to run a Read more…
Wear Resistance
Due to the lower coefficient of friction and the ceramic-polymer makeup of the coating, it’s been determined that Cerakote finishes can hold up well to over 5,000 wear cycles for every millimeter of thickness.
Rust Resistance
Cerekote finishes are tested with a salt solution. This is very much like one of those Glock torture tests you see on YouTube and Facebook, but with a very specific and scientific metric applied. There Read more…
What Is Cerakote?
Cerakote is a professionally applied OEM finish, it is not a DIY finish. Cerakote is a ceramic-based finish that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers, and wood. The unique formulation used for Cerakote ceramic coating Read more…
