Why Cerakote?

We’ll let the experts introduce you.

Cerakote is a Polymer-Ceramic Composite coating that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers and wood. The unique formulation used for Cerakote ceramic coating enhances a number of physical performance properties including abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness. Each of these properties is rigorously tested to guarantee that Cerakote products remain at the forefront of the ceramic coatings market. Cerakote ceramic coatings utilize state-of-the-art technology to out-perform any competitive coating in both laboratory settings and real world applications.

Cerakote is Tough.

In plain terms, Cerakote is the strongest, most durable thin film coating you can apply to your firearms – or most anything else you want protected.  It will protect metal from rust and corrosion and is guaranteed never to chip or crack, even in extreme environments.
