What are PFAS and why are they problematic?

PFAS are a group of chemicals used in many industrial processes and products to impart water, grease and soil repellent properties. They are found in a variety of products, including non-stick pans, carpets, food packaging, fire-fighting foam and cosmetics . In industry, they are often used in Paints and ceramic coatings to increase their resistance to corrosion, abrasion and extreme temperatures.

The problems with PFAS lie in their persistence and toxicity. These substances build up in the environment and in the human body, as they are only degraded very slowly. This leads to long-term pollution of the environment and potential health risks for humans. Particularly in sensitive industries such as aerospace, medical technology and the automotive industry, it is crucial to ensure that no hazardous substances such as PFAS enter the production cycle.

Cerakote PFAS-free coatings: The future of coatings

The Cerakote F-Series offers a PFAS-free alternative to traditional paints and ceramic coatings. This innovative product range from Cerakote combines the proven performance properties of traditional coatings with the safety and environmental friendliness of a PFAS-free formulation. The F-Series has been specifically developed to provide the same high standard of corrosion resistance, heat resistance, abrasion resistance and chemical resistance that Cerakote products are renowned for.

PFAS-Free F-Serie

Outstanding performance properties of the Cerakote F-series

The PFAS-free coatings offer a range of superior properties that make them ideal for use in demanding industries:

  • Corrosion resistance: The coatings effectively protect surfaces from rust and corrosion, even in extreme conditions.
  • Heat resistance: They can withstand high temperatures, making them indispensable for applications in the aerospace or automotive industries.
  • Abrasion resistance: The coatings offer exceptional resistance to mechanical wear, which extends their lifespan.
  • Chemical resistance: They are resistant to a wide range of aggressive chemicals that can occur in various industrial applications.

Thanks to these properties, Cerakote F-Series coatings offer excellent performance in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, automotive, electronics, medical and many more.

Sustainability and environmental friendliness: an industry-leading alternative

An outstanding feature of the Cerakote F-Series is its environmental friendliness. PFAS-containing coatings are effective, but their harmful effects on the environment and health cannot be ignored. In contrast, Cerakote's PFAS-free coatings offer a sustainable alternative without any compromise on performance.

The usage of PFAS-free materials reduces the risk of environmental pollution and protects human health. Because the F-Series contains no hazardous fluorochemicals, companies can ensure that they comply with applicable environmental regulations while meeting the requirements for high performance Beschichtungen.

Comparison with other coating alternatives

There are a variety of alternative coating methods on the market, including anodizing, burnishing, powder coating, Teflon or Xylan.. Compared to these methods, Cerakote's PFAS-free coatings offer several advantages:

  • Anodizing: While anodizing offers good corrosion resistance, it is not always the best choice for extreme temperatures, protection from UV radiation exposure and abrasion resistance.
  • Burnishing: This method also provides corrosion protection, but has less resistance to chemicals, abrasion or high temperatures compared to Cerakote.
  • Powder coating: Powder coatings are environmentally friendly, but do not offer the same heat and impact resistance as Cerakote products.
  • Teflon and Xylan: Although these coatings offer excellent abrasion and chemical resistance, they often contain PFAS and therefore pose environmental and health problems.

In contrast to these methods, the Cerakote F-Series is an innovative solution that combines all the desired properties but does not use PFAS, making it a much more environmentally friendly choice.

Areas of application and industries

The PFAS-free coatings from Cerakote are extremely versatile and are used in a wide range of industrial sectors:

  • Aerospace: For coating aircraft, engines and other high performance components.
  • Automotive industry: To protect car parts from corrosion and wear.
  • Defense industry:For resistant and durable coatings on military equipment.
  • Bicycle industry: To protect bicycle frames and parts from external influences.
  • Electronics: For durable and protective coatings on electronic housings.
  • Medical technology: Production of medical devices that are both powerful and environmentally friendly.
  • Fitness equipment: Protection against abrasion and corrosion for fitness equipment.
  • Kitchen and bathroom: Protective coatings for appliances that are exposed to constant moisture and temperature fluctuations.

Conclusion: Why Cerakote PFAS-free paints are the best choice

The Cerakote F-Series offers a high-performance and sustainable alternative to PFAS-containing coatings. With its excellent performance properties and environmentally friendly composition, it is the ideal choice for industrial applications that place high demands on corrosion protection, abrasion resistance, heat resistance and chemical resistance. By eliminating PFAS, these products help to protect the environment and the health of users without compromising on performance.

For companies looking for a sustainable, high performance and environmentally friendly coating solution, Cerakote F-Series is the industry leading choice.
