COATINGS & APPLICATIONS

Understanding Powder Coating

Industrial powder coating is a high-performance, environmentally friendly finishing process commonly used in manufacturing to apply a durable, protective, and aesthetically pleasing layer to metal surfaces. This technique involves the application of a dry, free-flowing powder—typically composed of thermoplastic or thermoset polymer—that is electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the part to be coated. The coated object is then cured in an oven, where the powder melts and forms a hard, uniform finish. Known for its resistance to chipping, scratching, fading, and corrosion, industrial powder coating is widely used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, appliances, and outdoor equipment.

At Pro-Kote Indy we offer professional industrial powder coating services and applications. Our crew is trained and passionate about delivering the highest quality of service to your project.

Overall, Nitro-KOTE is a top-notch coating solution designed to withstand the rigors of racing and maintain its performance under challenging conditions.

KEPHOS

Kephos is a phosphate coating with a durable black finish that offers exceptional resistance against various types of environmental factors, including chemicals, impacts, abrasions, and corrosion. This makes it a reliable choice for parts and components that are exposed to harsh conditions and need protection against wear and tear. The tough nature of Kephos coating ensures that the underlying material is safeguarded and maintains its integrity over time. Overall, Kephos is a high-quality coating option that can enhance the longevity and performance of coated surfaces.

CILOXIDE

CILOXIDE is a specialized thermal barrier ceramic coating designed to withstand high temperatures up to 2250 degrees. This coating is particularly suited for protecting and maintaining color stability on turbo housings and other components exposed to extreme heat. By applying CILOXIDE on the interior and exterior of these parts, it helps prevent exhaust heat from being absorbed, thus reducing the overall temperature and potential damage to surrounding components. Additionally, the availability of CILOXIDE in satin black and dark blue colors provides customization options for users looking to enhance the appearance of their components while ensuring optimal heat protection. Overall, CILOXIDE is a reliable solution for
thermal management in high-temperature environments.

CERMACHROME

CermaKrome is the premier coating for exhaust headers, manifolds, and other engine external parts. It has significant advantages over other shiny coatings (including chrome). As a thermal barrier coating, it is able to withstand 1300 degree temperatures without discoloration. No “blue-ing”! CermaKrome delivers superior corrosion protection–up to 10 years or more. This coating eliminates flaking, delaminating, rusting, and pitting. When applied in automotives, you can expect much cooler exhaust components. This reduces cracking of components and greatly lowers underhood temperatures.
