What Is Cerakote®?
Cerakote® is a ceramic based finish 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.

Cerakote H-Series:
H-Series is the most durable of the standard Cerakote family of coatings and provides the best performance in hardness, wear and scratch resistance, adhesion and rust resistance. It can withstand heat up to 500f – 600f degrees and comes in the widest range of colors. Therefore, we use the H-Series wherever possible. However, it’s a two-part heat cure finish and, therefore, cannot be applied to optics and other items or substrates which cannot, or should not be cured at the required temperatures.
Cerakote™ C-Series:
For high-temp applications up to 1700°, such as suppressors and machinegun barrels, Cerakote™ C-Series has no equal. It’s available in a wide range of colors to match the overall finish requirement of the firearm or weapons system. We also use C-Series to coat scopes and other optics, as well as fiberglass and items and substrates which cannot be baked. It is not as durable as the H-Series and is less scratch and wear resistant. The primary application is optics, electronics and fiberglass stocks which cannot be hear cured.
Cerakote™ FX:
Cerakote FX takes custom to another level. Cerakote FX is an additive that is specifically designed and tested to be mixed with our H-Series Clears (H-300 and H-301), and sprayed over a Cerakote solid tone base coat. This creates a new sheen and look that is anywhere from mild to wild, depending on the combination used. Cerakote FX is designed to be used with H-Series Clears, that is then sprayed over a Cerakote solid tone base coat. (NOTE: Cerakote FX is applied WET OVER WET. Your item will NOT go into the oven until after the FX has been applied.) Cerakote FX materials were sourced specifically for their high performance attributes including: corrosion and weather resistance, scratch, gouge and impact resistance, as well as bond-ability within the Cerakote system. In other words, they meet the stringent criteria to wear the Cerakote brand name.
