MODIFIABLE
Cerakote is a surface-applied ceramic polymer blend that is cured to create a hard, durable, protective layer, perfect for tight-tolerance applications.
IRREVERSIBLE
Nitride involves a heat treatment process that fundamentally alters the metal surface, creating a hard layer through nitrogen diffusion.
Composition
SURFACE APPLICATION
Cerakote is a ceramic-polymer hybrid that coats the surface, offering both protection and design flexibility.
SUBSTRATE ALTERATION
Nitride is a metal nitride layer created within the material itself.
Customization
EXPANSIVE
Cerakote offers unparalleled customization, providing a wide palette of colors and finishes to meet aesthetic and branding needs, particularly for visible components in automotive, firearms or consumer products.
LIMITED
Nitride is a functional finish, but is typically limited in appearance, with few color options.
Corrosion Resistance
SUPERIOR
Cerakote is the preferred choice for superior corrosion resistance, especially compared to standard black nitride finishes. Its performance in harsh or marine environments is particularly noteworthy.
