Maritime / Marine
Precision Cerakote ceramic coatings for aerospace, defense, and industrial components.
What Maritime Environments Demand
Salt water does not forgive exposed metal
Wear Protection That Keeps Equipment in Service
Surface wear shortens component life and drives unplanned maintenance. Ceramic coating delivers 9H hardness with 160/160 in-lbs impact strength (ASTM verified).
Corrosion-Resistant Cerakote Coating
4,000+ hours of ASTM B117 salt spray resistance. Molecular-level protection for aerospace, defense, and industrial components.
Cerakote Color Consistency & Aesthetic Finishing
Delta E ≤1 color precision across production runs. 200+ standard colors. Spectrophotometer-verified on every batch.
Weight Reduction Without Sacrificing Protection
Thick coatings add weight that undermines lightweighting efforts. Ceramic coating at 0.5-2 mils delivers full protection with 200-400g savings per part versus powder coating.
Coatings Engineered for Marine Performance
Cerakote ceramic coating creates a molecular-level barrier against saltwater corrosion, UV degradation, and galvanic attack that marine environments impose on every exposed surface.
Saltwater creates an aggressive electrochemical environment that accelerates galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals. Cerakote's ceramic barrier isolates substrates from salt spray, humidity, and direct immersion while resisting UV degradation that breaks down conventional marine paints.
The thin-film application at 0.5–2 mils maintains the dimensional precision that marine hardware requires for proper fit and function in structural and mechanical assemblies.
Why Ceramic Coating Outperforms Marine Paint and Anodizing
Marine paint requires frequent reapplication and still fails at edges and fastener holes. Anodizing works only on aluminum and adds nothing to steel or stainless components. Cerakote bonds to all marine metals with 4,000+ hours salt spray resistance in a single, thin-film application.

How We Coat for Maritime Applications
Substrate-specific preparation for marine corrosion protection
Receiving & Specification Review
Components inspected and logged. Substrate identification (stainless, aluminum, bronze, steel) determines preparation protocol and Cerakote formulation selection.
Surface Preparation & Masking
Media blasting to optimal surface profile for marine substrates. Threaded connections, mating surfaces, and precision bores masked. Ultrasonic cleaning removes salt deposits, oils, and marine contaminants.
Application, Cure & Inspection
Cerakote applied with full-coverage verification on complex marine geometries. Oven-cured per specification. Post-cure inspection includes thickness, adhesion, and visual examination. Certificate of conformance with lot traceability accompanies shipment.
What matters most
The outcomes that keep your aircraft in the air
4,000+ Hours Salt Spray Resistance
ASTM B117 verified. Molecular-level barrier protects steel, stainless, aluminum, and bronze marine components against continuous saltwater exposure and galvanic corrosion.
Full ISO 9001 Documentation
Certificate of Conformance with every shipment. Material batch numbers, cure parameters, thickness measurements, and adhesion test results documented for marine equipment traceability requirements.
9H Hardness, UV and Chemical Resistance
ASTM D3363 verified hardness resists deck abrasion and anchor chain wear. UV stability prevents chalking and color fade in direct marine sunlight exposure.
Multi-Substrate Consistency
Single coating system bonds to all marine metals—stainless, aluminum, bronze, and steel—with consistent finish and protection. Eliminates the material-specific coating systems that complicate marine maintenance programs.
