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.
