CERAKOTE CERAMIC COATINGS SUPERIOR PROTECTION AND PERFORMANCE

Automotive manufacturers have fought corrosion on vehicles since the beginning of the automotive industry. As the technology in the industry developed, so did the customers’ expectations. The modern customer has more information at their fingertips more than ever before. They demand better quality, less rust, lower cost of ownership, and better performance. Automotive manufactures are now looking for alternative solutions to corrosion, and other problems that consumers no longer tolerate.

CURRENT MARKET COATINGS

Aged coating systems like paint, powder coating, anodizing, and plating were the cornerstone of corrosion inhibiting protection for the automotive industry. For many years, these coatings were acceptable as standards in their level of protection. Over time and miles, rust eventually set in, particularly in cars in the snow country, and customer satisfaction dropped. Automotive customers are now more educated, more informed, and have a direct impact on how manufacturers engineer their products. In a recent survey from Statista Global Consumer Survey 2018 it asked customers “Which of these characteristics are especially important to you when you decide on a new car?”

CERAKOTE: THE SOLUTION

Cerakote is the global leader in the manufacturing of thin-film automotive ceramic coatings. More OEM, aftermarket, and custom shops choose Cerakote for its industry leading performance attributes. Cerakote started as a business developing and manufacturing automotive high temperature coatings, and has developed its reputation as the highest quality standard ceramic based coating in the world. Cerakote’s unique properties allows for new solutions to old industry problems. Let’s look at some of the market segments you can expect to see Cerakote in..

HIGH TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS

The first coatings Cerakote ever manufactured were high-temperature automotive coatings. We set out to make the highest quality ceramic coatings that could handle extreme temperatures up to 1,800°F while still providing a high-quality finish that looked good. Unlike high-temperature powder coatings, our high-temperature coatings provide long lasting corrosion protection during thermal cycling and thermal shock, as well as to exposure to winter road salts and deicing solutions. Cerakote is the coating solution for high temperature parts.
