WHY CERAKOTE® FOR AEROSPACE?

Aerospace materials are exposed to extreme conditions, including high temperatures, pressure fluctuations, UV radiation, and corrosive environments. Traditional coatings may fail under such conditions, but Cerakote offers several key advantages:

  • Resistencia a la corrosión: Protects against oxidation and chemical exposure, extending the lifespan of aerospace components.
  • Thermal Stability: Withstands high temperatures without degradation, making it ideal for engine components and exhaust systems.
  • Low Reflectivity: Coatings that are tailored for low reflectivity in the visible and the IR spectrum.
  • Aplicación ligera y fina: Adds minimal weight to aircraft parts, a crucial factor in aerospace engineering. Typical thickness application range is 6µm – 50µm.
  • Resistencia a la abrasión y al desgaste: Reduces wear on moving parts and improves longevity.
  • Resistencia química: Resists exposure to aviation fuels, hydraulic fluids, and other harsh chemicals.
  • Customizable Aesthetic & Functionality: Available in a range of colors and finishes, including non-reflective and infrared-resistant options for military and stealth applications.

APPLICATIONS IN AEROSPACE

Cerakote is utilized in a variety of aerospace applications, including:

  • Aircraft Engine Components: Protects turbine blades, exhaust systems, and heat-sensitive parts from extreme temperatures and corrosion.
  • Structural Components: Enhances the durability of landing gear, fasteners, and brackets.
  • Avionics & Electronics: Shields sensitive components from environmental damage and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • Interior & Exterior Surfaces: Provides a durable finish for cockpit controls, seats, gallies, and exterior surfaces.
  • Spacecraft & Satellites: Used in space applications where resistance to radiation, extreme cold, and vacuum conditions is critical.

AEROSPACE TESTING

Pruebas de la FAA:

Se recomienda sustituir la capa de sellado epoxi del sistema de revestimiento actual por Cerakote para aliviar y eliminar la deslaminación y el quemado en la piel interior del capó del motor cuando el avión está en vuelo estacionario. Además, el Cerakote C-7700 Q recomendado puede utilizarse para pintar los actuales capós de motor y mejorar su resistencia al calor. Cerakote se utiliza desde hace mucho tiempo en la industria del automóvil para proporcionar una barrera térmica a los sistemas de escape con el fin de reducir la temperatura del compartimento del motor; los resultados obtenidos en este estudio sugieren por primera vez su aplicabilidad en aeronaves.
