Wear Protection for Industrial
Precision Cerakote ceramic coatings for aerospace, defense, and industrial components.
Industrial Wear Drives Downtime and Replacement
Abrasion, erosion, and contact wear are constant
The challenge
Harsh environments demand coatings that hold.
The solution
ColoradoKote ceramic coating stops corrosion cold.
Why Cerakote for Industrial Wear Protection
Ceramic hardness at production volume
9H Pencil Hardness

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers about our coating processes and technical capabilities
Pipeline fittings exposed to soil moisture, groundwater, and atmospheric conditions benefit from Cerakote's 3,000-hour salt spray resistance as an external corrosion barrier. The coating's thin 0.5 to 2 mil profile preserves thread engagement and flange sealing surfaces that thicker coatings would compromise. Our sandblasting service at 80 to 100 PSI achieves the surface profile needed for maximum adhesion on large-diameter fittings.
Safety-critical color coding on industrial equipment, such as OSHA-compliant marking of hazard zones, emergency stops, and pressure ratings, requires durable, consistent color that does not fade or chip in harsh environments. Cerakote maintains color stability through chemical exposure, UV, abrasion, and thermal cycling that would degrade conventional paint. We match safety colors to your specification and verify by spectrophotometer to ensure compliance is maintained throughout the equipment service life.
Yes. Color coding for safety, system identification, and regulatory compliance maintains its accuracy through exposure to wellsite conditions. Cerakote's UV stability, chemical resistance, and 9H hardness prevent the fading, discoloration, and wear that make conventional paint unreadable on oilfield equipment. Our Delta E 1.5 color matching ensures replacement components match existing equipment for consistent field identification.
Yes. We perform chemical conversion coating per MIL-DTL-5541 on aluminum substrates followed by Cerakote ceramic topcoat, all under one roof. This combined stack eliminates the need to ship parts between vendors, reducing lead time and handling risk. Our 14-day standard turnaround with 3-day and 7-day expedited options keeps your production schedule on track.
Yes. Sandblasting at 80 to 100 PSI removes existing corrosion, scale, and failed coatings, then Cerakote's thin 0.5 to 2 mil film build restores protection without affecting fit or function. This is significantly more cost-effective than replacing components, especially for specialized parts with long lead times. The coating's abrasion resistance and corrosion protection often exceeds what the original factory finish provided.
