Cermakrome

Cermakrome is a high-performance ceramic coating that is commonly used in the automotive and aerospace industries for its exceptional heat resistance, durability, and aesthetic appeal. This coating is particularly popular for exhaust systems, headers, and other high-temperature components due to its ability to withstand extreme conditions while maintaining its appearance and functionality. Here’s a detailed look at what Cermakrome is and the process involved in applying it.

 

What is Cermakrome?

Cermakrome is a ceramic-based coating that combines metallic and ceramic properties to create a finish that can endure high temperatures and resist corrosion. The coating is silver in color and provides a shiny, chrome-like appearance that enhances the visual appeal of metal components. It is known for its excellent thermal barrier properties, which help to reduce heat transfer and improve the efficiency of engines and other high-heat environments.

Benefits of Cermakrome

  • Heat Resistance: Cermakrome can withstand temperatures up to 1,300 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 700 degrees Celsius), making it ideal for use on exhaust systems and other components exposed to intense heat.

  • Corrosion Resistance: The coating provides a protective barrier against rust and corrosion, extending the life of metal parts by preventing oxidation and chemical degradation.

  • Aesthetic Appeal: With its shiny, reflective finish, Cermakrome gives a sleek and polished look to components, enhancing the overall appearance of vehicles and machinery.

  • Improved Performance: By acting as a thermal barrier, Cermakrome can help maintain optimal operating temperatures, improving engine performance and efficiency.

The Cermakrome Application Process

The process of applying Cermakrome is meticulous and involves several steps to ensure optimal adhesion and performance:

  1. Surface Preparation: The first step in the Cermakrome application process is preparing the surface of the component. This involves thorough cleaning to remove dirt, grease, and any existing coatings. The surface is then blasted with abrasive media to create a rough texture, promoting better adhesion of the coating.

  2. Coating Application: Once the surface is prepared, the Cermakrome coating is applied using a spray gun. This process requires precision to ensure an even and consistent layer. Multiple coats may be applied depending on the desired thickness and application requirements.

  3. Curing: After application, the coated component is subjected to a curing process, which involves heating it in a controlled environment. This step is crucial as it hardens the coating, enhancing its durability and heat resistance. The curing temperature and duration are carefully controlled to achieve the best results.

  4. Finishing: Once cured, the coating is polished to achieve the desired finish. This step enhances the reflective quality of the Cermakrome, giving it a shiny, chrome-like appearance.
