Testing procedures

All results are based on blasted steel coated with the recommended film thickness and cured according to the recommended curing cycle.

Gloss levels are measured at a 60° angle. Deviations from the recommended conditions lead to different results. Gloss is influenced by the quality of pretreatment and the spraying technique.

Viscosity measured under ambient conditions (air temperature, relative humidity) at the time of manufacture.

Recommended curing temperature:

  • Please refer to the curing cycle specifications provided for each Cerakote product.

The maximum temperature is the temperature up to which the paint or coating remains stable.

Chemical resistance testing: The results refer to color changes according to the CIE76 formula. The results range from:

  • Excellent: ∆E change <2.5 (★★★★)
  • Good: ∆E change <3.0 (★★★☆)
  • Satisfactory: ∆E change <3.5 (★★☆☆)
  • Poor: ∆E change <4.0 (★☆☆☆)

The test parameters are as follows:

  • Hardness or pencil hardness tests are measured from soft to hard as follows: 9B, 8B, 7B, 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 7H, 8H, 9H. 9H is the highest hardness level.
  • SG-100 only: Hardness test Method A — An X-cut is made through the coating down to the substrate; a self-adhesive tape is applied over the cut and then removed. Adhesion is qualitatively rated on a scale from 0 to 5.
  • Adhesion is measured on a scale from 0B, 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, with 5B being the highest achievable rating.
  • Flexibility or bend test on a conical mandrel: “100% resistance” is the highest achievable rating and means the coating showed no cracks or flaking.
  • Impact resistance (direct/indirect) is measured on a scale from 0 Nm to 18.08 Nm, with 18.08 Nm being the highest achievable rating.
