Description:
Note: Gen II coatings are available to all US customers. Outside of the US, NIC requires an authorization letter from your country's military or law enforcement agency. Cerakote Gen II Coatings are the next generation of firearm coatings developed specifically for military small arms and crew-served weapon applications where a capability is needed to manage the visual and near-infrared signature while at the same time enhancing durability, reliability and maintainability. In addition to the signature management capability, Cerakote Gen II offers superior wear and corrosion resistance under a wide variety of adverse environmental conditions likely to be encountered in all theaters of operation. Cerakote Gen II is designed to conform to the NIR reflectivity standards outlined in MIL-DTL-44436. *NOTE: This product comes with a catalyst and requires a 150 Mesh Strainer (SE-276). F-Series is the world’s highest performing PFAS free, thin film ceramic coating.
F-Series is specifically engineered for high volume production and manufacturing due to its fast cure time and low temperature curing schedule. It is an oven cure, two-part coating that is applied directly to the substrate. F-Series has all the attributes you have come to expect from Cerakote. It has unmatched corrosion and chemical resistance, superior adhesion and flexibility, as well as exceptional hardness, durability and wear.
F-Series is:
- PFAS free
- Fast Curing – cures in 15 minutes at 250°F
- Or cure as low as 180°F for 1 hour in a paint booth
- Can cure large parts quickly
- High volume/production friendly
- Reduces bottle necks
- Achieves higher throughput
- Saves significant time and energy costs
- Puts more revenue into your business
WARNING: This product may expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, see the product's safety data sheet.
Product Technical Data:
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.
