Performance characteristics of Cerakote coatings

The coatings from Cerakote offer a range of outstanding properties suitable for various 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, making them indispensable for applications in aerospace.

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, common disinfectants, and more.

Unique Features

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

Thin-film ceramic coating

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

Indoor and Outdoor Areas

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

Space Travel & Satellites

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

Outstanding abrasion and wear resistance: Cerakote reduces the wear of moving parts and improves durability. The chemical resistance also protects against fuels, hydraulic fluids, and other aggressive chemicals.

  • It is recommended to replace the epoxy coating in the current coating system with Cerakote to prevent delamination and burning on the inner skin of the engine cowling during aircraft hovering. Additionally, the recommended Cerakote C-7700 Glacier Silver can be used to paint current engine cowlings to improve their heat resistance. Cerakote has long been used in the automotive industry, where exhaust systems are thermally insulated to reduce engine compartment temperatures. The results of this study are consistently positive and demonstrate its applicability in aircraft.
