Performance Properties of Cerakote Coatings

Cerakote coatings offer a range of superior properties suitable for a wide variety of applications.

Corrosion Resistance

The coatings effectively protect surfaces indoors and outdoors from rust and corrosion, even under extreme conditions.

Heat Resistance

The ceramic coatings withstand high temperatures of up to 1,000°C as well as extreme temperature fluctuations, which makes them indispensable for aerospace applications.

Abrasion Resistance

The coatings offer exceptional resistance to mechanical wear, such as impacts and scratches, which extends their lifespan.

Chemical Resistance

Cerakote coatings are resistant to hydraulic fluids, fuels, solvents, acids, de-icing agents, commercial disinfectants, and more.

Unique Features

Cerakote offers various special coatings with unique properties: infrared-absorbing, light-absorbing, thermally insulating, thermally conductive, electrically insulating, and many more.

Thin-film ceramic coating

With a layer thickness of only 6-50 µm, the coatings are ideal for parts with very low tolerances.

Applications in aerospace

Cerakote coatings are used worldwide by various companies for different solutions. These include:

Engine Components

Protects turbine blades, exhaust systems, and heat-sensitive components from extreme temperatures and corrosion.

Structural Components

Improves the durability of chassis, fasteners and brackets.

Avionics and Electronics

Protects sensitive components from environmental influences and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Interior and Exterior Surfaces

Provides a durable surface coating for cockpit controls, seats, galleys, and exterior surfaces.

Space & Satellites

Cerakote is used in aerospace and satellites, where resistance or protection against radiation, extreme cold, and vacuum conditions is of crucial importance.

Superior Abrasion and Wear Resistance: Cerakote reduces wear on moving parts and improves longevity. Its chemical resistance also protects against fuels, hydraulic fluids, and other harsh chemicals.

  • It is recommended that the epoxy seal in the current coating system be replaced with Cerakote to prevent delamination and burning in the inner skin of the engine cowling during aircraft hover. In addition, the recommended Cerakote C-7700 Glacier Silver can be used to paint current engine fairings to improve their heat resistance. Cerakote has long been used in the automotive industry. Here, exhaust systems are thermally insulated, thus reducing engine compartment temperatures. The results of this study are consistently positive and show that its applicability in aircraft is possible.
