CERAKOTE® vs. Anodizing
Who will finish strong? When it comes to corrosion protection, there is one clear winner.
Color & Application Options
UNIQUE
Cerakote offers over 200 unique and popular colors and can be applied to all ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, composites and many other substrates making it a universal coating as an anodizing alternative. This opens up more design and finishing options for your customers.
LIMITED
Due to the chemicals used in the process, anodizing offers a very limited color selection and can only be used on aluminum and titanium surfaces.

ACCESSIBLE
Cerakote's required coating line has a lower cost and smaller footprint, that is highly efficient for low to high volume operations.
INCONVENIENT
Anodizing requires costly equipment, storage, and chemicals that require a large footprint.
Color Consistency
UNIFORM
Cerakote can adhere to any grade of aluminum or titanium, allowing customers to produce consistent color and finishes regardless of the grade of the substrate. Cerakote's color fastness is held to a standard of < ±1Δ. This results in better quality, lower fall-out, and cost savings.
UNCONTROLLED
Color consistency is known to vary widely from part to part and batch to batch due to chemical variations and subtle differences in the substrate that cannot be controlled.
Environmental Impact
COMPLIANT
Cerakote does not contain any heavy metals and is VOC compliant in all 50 states. Cerakote is a REACH, ROHS, and prop 65 compliant coating.
HAZARDOUS
The process of anodizing incorporates the use of acids that can be dangerous and require wastewater treatment as well as waste disposal that can be costly.
Companies choose Cerakote for its durability, consistency, color selection, and improved turnaround time. Cerakote can be applied anywhere in the world making it a safe and accessible coating for any application.
