Characteristics of different Cerakote High Temperature Ceramic Coatings
Wednesday, August 01, 2012 / Snapshot Group / Back To All NewsThere are a variety of high performance ceramic coatings offered by Cerakote, ranging from C-186 Piston Coat, which is specifically used on the top of pistons and in combustion chambers, to the MC-Series of clear coatings, which can be used on a variety of materials that require the world’s strongest clear coat, such as signage to wheel coatings.
The Cerakote C-Series comes in various colors and used for high temperature applications up to 1800˚F and is air cured, being dry to the touch in just 45 minutes.
The MC-Series, which is also air cured, is our industry leading clear coat, which provides a clear protective coating performing on applications that can reach 1000˚F.
The W-Series has a chrome or polished aluminum type finish and is oven cured at 500˚F for one hour. Its primary function is for use on exhaust components performing up to 1300˚F.
Cerakote’s V-Series is also oven cured at 500˚F for one hour and comes in a variety of colors, and is used for high temperature applications where temperatures can reach 1800˚F.
