Cerakote Ceramic Coatings Superior Protection and Performance

Automotive manufacturers face increasing demands for durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term product performance. Traditional finishing methods, including paint, powder coating, anodizing, and plating, have served the industry for decades, but each presents limitations depending on the application. As manufacturers seek to improve component longevity, reduce maintenance, and deliver consistent quality, advanced coating technologies are becoming an increasingly important part of automotive engineering.

CERAKOTE thin-film ceramic coatings provide a high-performance finishing solution engineered to deliver exceptional corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and durability without adding unnecessary thickness or weight. From critical automotive components to premium exterior finishes, Cerakote helps manufacturers meet demanding performance requirements while maintaining the appearance and quality customers expect.

Cerakote: The Solution

Cerakote is the global leader in the manufacturing of thin-film automotive ceramic coatings. More OEM, aftermarket, and custom shops choose Cerakote for its industry leading performance attributes. Cerakote started as a business developing and manufacturing automotive high temperature coatings, and has developed its reputation as the highest quality standard ceramic based coating in the world. Cerakote’s unique properties allow for new solutions to old industry problems. Let’s look at some of the market segments you can expect to see Cerakote in.

High Temperature Applications

The first coatings Cerakote ever manufactured were high-temperature automotive coatings. We set out to make the highest quality ceramic coatings that could handle extreme temperatures up to 1,800°F while still providing a high-quality finish that looked good. Unlike high-temperature powder coatings, our high-temperature coatings provide long lasting corrosion protection during thermal cycling and thermal shock, as well as to exposure to winter road salts and deicing solutions. Cerakote is the coating solution for high temperature parts.

Power Train Applications

Cerakote’s thin-film properties allow for high performance on tight tolerance applications, especially where the vehicles’ parts are exposed to harsh and violent environments. Cerakote’s extreme durability to scratching, rock chipping, and abrasion resistance makes it ideal for high wear areas where other finishes tend to wear down quickly.

Trim and Exterior Applications

Cerakote is also an excellent choice for the exterior trim parts of a vehicle. Cerakote can be applied to a range of substrates including plastic and metal trim, interior and exterior hardware, and even over primed and pretreated parts. Cerakote can protect surfaces from UV, weathering, and whatever the road may throw at you.
