High-Performance Finish | Hand-Painted, Ceramic-Based Coating
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT CERAKOTE
Cerakote is an industry-leading thin, film-based ceramic coating designed to provide durable color and surface protection without adding measurable thickness. Available in over 100 color options, Cerakote offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemicals, abrasion, and environmental wear.
Due to its extremely thin application, Cerakote is commonly used on band sleeves and recessed exterior inlays where maintaining precise fit and comfort is critical. The coating bonds directly to the surface, allowing for bold, long-lasting color while preserving the underlying material’s dimensions and structural integrity. This makes Cerakote an ideal option for adding contrast and customization without compromising wearability or performance.
CORROSION & CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Cerakote forms a protective barrier that shields the ring from moisture, sweat, oils, and everyday chemicals. Once cured, the coating helps prevent rust, discoloration, and breakdown of the underlying material, even with regular wear.
DURABILITY
Boding tightly to the surface, Cerakote is designed to withstand daily wear, friction, and environmental exposure. It resists chipping, peeling, and cracking better than traditional coatings, helping the finish maintain its appearance over time.
UV STABILITY
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can can certain colors to gradually fade or shift over time. While the coating performs well for everyday wear, extended or constant UV exposure may impact long term color retention.
THERMAL STABILITY
Cerakote can withstand high temperatures without discoloring, cracking, or losing adhesion. The coating remains stable under heat from sunlight, friction, or occasional exposure to hot environments, ensuring the finish stays intact and durable even in demanding conditions.
ORIGIN
Widely used in the firearm industry, Cerakote is trusted to enhance resistance to corrosion, scratches, and everyday wear. Its proven performance in demanding environments, combined with a wide range of color options, makes it both highly functional and visually striking.
USES
Highly versatile and used across a wide range of industries where durability and protection are essential. Common applications include 3D printing, aerospace, archery, automotive, bicycles, firearms, electronics, fishing gear, knives, oil and gas equipment, and more. Its combination of corrosion resistance, chemical stability, and color versatility makes it ideal for both high performance and everyday products.
UPKEEP
While Cerakote is one of the most vibrant and durable color coatings available, it is not completely fade or wear proof. For best results and long lasting color, avoid prolonged exposure to water and remove the ring before swimming, showering, or extended contact with moisture.
OPTIONS
We offer Cerakote for band sleeves and recessed exterior inlays in nearly any color imaginable. Options include solid colors, ombre fades, multi color combinations, and even vibrant, scenic designs paired with engraved or patterned exteriors.
