M17 COYOTE TAN

All results based on blasted steel coated at recommended mil thickness using recommended cure schedule.

*Gloss levels are measured at a 60° angle. Adjustments to recommended conditions will yield different results. Gloss is affected by quality of preparation and spray technique. Results are based on coated blasted steel cured following the Cure Schedule specification.

**Viscosity measured under ambient conditions (air temperature, relative humidity) at the time of manufacture.

¶Recommended Cure Temperature:

• Please reference the Cure Schedule specification available on each Cerakote product.

Maximum Temperature is the temperature to which the color or coating is stable.

‡Chemical Resistance Testing: Results refer to color change based on CIE76 formulation. Results range from:

• Excellent: ∆E change of <2.5
• Good: ∆E change of <3.0
• Fair: ∆E change of <3.5
• Poor: ∆E change of <4.0

†Testing parameters are as follows:

• Hardness or Pencil Hardness Tests are measured from softest to hardest as follows: 9B, 8B, 7B, 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 7H, 8H, 9H. 9H is the hardest.
• SG-100 ONLY: Hardness test Method A — An X-cut is made through the film to the substrate, pressure-sensitive tape is applied over the cut and then removed, and adhesion is assessed qualitatively on a 0 to 5 scale.
• Adhesion is measured on a scale of 0B, 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, with 5B being the highest achievable rating.
• Flexibility or Conical Mandrel Bend: “100% Resistance” is the highest achievable rating and indicates that the coating did not crack or spall.
• Impact Performance (Direct/Indirect) is measured on a scale of 0 inch-lbs. to 160 inch-lbs., with 160 inch-lbs. being the highest achievable rating.

All Cerakote coatings are VOC compliant under the EPA and have low to no VOC content. To find out the VOC content of an individual coating, please contact sds@nicindustries.com for more information.
