Corrosion Resistance for Industrial

Yes. Aerospace cabin interiors demand exact color consistency across thousands of parts produced over extended timeframes. ColoradoKote verifies every production lot by spectrophotometer to Delta E 1.5, ensuring parts coated months apart are visually identical. Our 20,000+ parts track record with zero quality issues demonstrates the process consistency required for cabin interior programs where color variation is immediately visible to passengers and auditors.

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. Additive manufactured jigs, fixtures, and production tooling made from SLS nylon or metal AM benefit significantly from Cerakote's 9H hardness. Uncoated AM surfaces wear quickly at contact points, limiting tooling life. Cerakote transforms these surfaces into hardened, abrasion-resistant working faces that extend tooling service life by multiples. Our 14-day standard turnaround with expedited options keeps your tooling production on schedule.

Yes. Raw AM surfaces harbor bacteria in their inherent porosity and texture, making them unsuitable for clinical settings. Cerakote seals surface porosity and reduces roughness from Ra 8-15 micrometers to below 3 micrometers, creating a smooth, cleanable surface compatible with hospital disinfectants and autoclave sterilization. The sealed surface prevents microbial adhesion while the coating withstands thousands of cleaning cycles without degradation. This transforms AM builds into clinical-grade components.

Provide the substrate material, part dimensions and quantity, desired Cerakote series (H-Series, Elite, or V-Series), color requirements, any masking locations, applicable specifications or drawings, and your required turnaround time. Photos or CAD files help us assess complexity. Standard turnaround is 14 days, with 3-day and 7-day expedited available. We respond within 24 business hours with a technical approach, pricing, and confirmed lead time.
