Ceramic Coatings
With a unique ceramic backbone, Cerakote™ Firearm Coatings improve performance and reliability over conventional finishes. This state-of-the-art coating technology out-performs any competitive coating in both laboratory settings and real world applications.

The unique formulation used for Cerakote™ Firearm Coatings enhances a number of physical performance properties. Each of these properties is rigorously to guarantee that Cerakote™ products remain at the forefront of the thin film coatings market. To prove Cerakote™ is the leading firearm coating, NIC hired an independent military testing facility to perform a blind side by side comparison between Cerakote™, KG Gun-Kote (listed as competitor 1) and DuraCoat Firearm Finish (listed as competitor 2). In every test Cerakote™ out performed both competitors products.

Cerakote Ceramic Coatings
Many high performance coatings claim to be capable of operating at high temperatures. Most coatings, however, fail as temperatures exceed 1.000°F. All of our Cerakote high temperature Ultra Performance Coatings are stable up to 1.100°C. Our high temperature line consists of two high quality formulations, the Chromex series and the Ultra Performance Satin Metallic series.

Available in several metallized finishes, these coatings will not only give an attractive look but also works as a perfect thermal barrier that increases performance and horsepower by increasing heat scavenging during the exhaust cycle. Our coatings have shown lower radiant temperature between 400-600°F.
