Agriculture Equipment

Cerakote's 9H pencil hardness and 4,000 cycles per mil abrasion resistance prevent the scratching, scuffing, and wear that compromise low-visibility finishes on fielded equipment. Our spectrophotometer-verified color matching to Delta E 1.5 ensures replacement parts match existing equipment exactly. The coating's UV stability prevents the fading and color shift that make conventional finishes conspicuous after field exposure.

Yes. Medical device manufacturing generates fine particulate, polishing compound residue, laser cutting debris, and EDM byproducts that must be completely removed. Ultrasonic cavitation at 40 kHz dislodges these contaminants from surfaces, crevices, and internal features that cannot be reached by manual cleaning. For devices proceeding to Cerakote application, this thorough cleaning is essential for coating adhesion. For standalone cleaning orders, parts are returned with documented cleanliness verification.

Yes. All defense work at ColoradoKote, including surface preparation, is performed within our ITAR-registered facility with controlled access and documented handling procedures. Blast operations on ITAR-controlled components follow the same security protocols as coating application and inspection. Personnel handling defense parts are trained on ITAR requirements and access is restricted to authorized individuals only.

Yes. Surgical guides printed in SLS PA12 or MJF have the dimensional accuracy surgeons need but lack the surface quality and cleanability required for the operating room. Our post-processing sequence, 40-60 PSI blasting followed by Cerakote at 0.5-2 mils, transforms the rough printed surface into a smooth, sealed, sterilizable guide. The coating adds chemical resistance for cleaning protocols and color options for visual identification, all while preserving the dimensional accuracy the guide was printed to achieve.

Cerakote withstands the combination of high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive fluids found in downhole environments. The coating's molecular barrier provides 3,000 hours of salt spray resistance per ASTM B117, and its temperature rating extends to 2,000°F for high-heat series formulations. Chemical resistance to H2S, CO2, and brine solutions protects tool surfaces between service intervals.
