After sandblasting, the workpiece is ready for coating with Cerakote. Cerakote coating consists of a polymer-ceramic compound that is applied to the surface and then heated to form a chemical bond. This forms a thin but extremely resistant layer that protects against corrosion as well as abrasion, chemicals and weathering. Cerakote is available in a variety of colors and finishes, making it a popular choice for customizing weapons, knives, vehicle parts and other items.
It is also used in aerospace, motorsports and industrial applications where a tough and protective coating is required. The advantages of Cerakote are its durability, resistance and aesthetics. Not only does it provide protection from external elements, but it can also enhance the appearance of objects and give them a personalized touch.
Preparation: Before Cerakote can be applied, the surface must be thoroughly prepared. This usually involves degreasing and cleaning the surface to remove dirt, grease, oil or other contaminants. This is important to ensure that Cerakote adheres well to the surface. Spray Gun: Professional coaters typically use a spray gun to apply Cerakote. These guns allow the coating material to be evenly distributed on the surface and ensure a uniform coating thickness. Application of the coating: Cerakote is sprayed onto the surface in thin layers. Depending on the desired effect and application, several coats may be required. A drying time is normally allowed between coats to ensure that each coat has sufficiently cured before the next is applied. Oven curing: After Cerakote is applied, the part is cured in a special oven. The exact temperature and time requirements for curing vary depending on the type of Cerakote product used. During the curing process, the polymer particles contained in the coating crosslink and form a resistant protective layer.
