Features and Benefits

The CeRam-Kote 54® patented coating technology, ceramic particle loading, results from CeRam-Kote's unique ability developed over fifteen years and the trial and error of thousands of formulas. Ceramic particle loading is the loading of a complex series of ceramic particles into a resin solution which causes the resin solution to out-perform its basic chemistry.

Since originating the concept of ceramic particle loading in 1985, CeRam-Kote has used this unique technical know-how to produce multiple formulations of CeRam-Kote. Future product development will identify resin solutions that perform in areas outside the performance capability of the existing CeRam-Kote family of coatings and enhance their performance with ceramic particle loading.
In addition to improving the chemical performance of resin systems, ceramic particle loading significantly enhances the dynamic mechanical performance properties of the resin system. Total performance characteristics of CeRam-Kote 54®, both chemical and mechanical, are significantly better than liquid epoxy, fusion-bond epoxy and other high performance coating systems.

CeRam-Kote 54® protects by binding ceramic particles to a unique resin system, thus creating an encapsulating ceramic shell. Each ceramic particle is resin coated and becomes tightly packed in the cured film.

The compact density of the cured film of CeRam-Kote 54® yields dynamic intangible benefits such as:
  • high surface lubricity producing a lower drag coefficient on a variety of surfaces, and
  • extraordinary sliding abrasion resistance providing protection against the forces of erosion/corrosion and abrasion.
CeRam-Kote 54® is a tough barrier coating for total immersion service that is compatible with antifouling bottom coatings.

CeRam-Kote 54®'s direct-to-substrate one-coat, two-pass system translates to increased production efficiency and significantly reduced down-time, essential in industry today.

CeRam-Kote 54® is formulated for atmospheric corrosion service as well as for immersion service in very harsh environments. CeRam-Kote 54® currently protects expensive and critical equipment in industries serving Oil and Gas, Offshore, Marine, Aviation, Petrochemical and Industrial Markets with proven documented results. Applications are expanding into the Food and Beverage, Paper and Pulp, Wastewater Treatment, Electrical Power, Transportation and Mining Industries.

Extremely high adhesion to virtually any substrate combined with extraordinary mechanical properties, make CeRam-Kote 54® a superior protective coating where high abrasion and severe corrosion problems exist.
