New Suppresor Super High Temp Cerakote

Published on December 27, 2018
Duration: 10:36

This video demonstrates the performance of a new, high-temperature Cerakote prototype designed for firearm suppressors. The presenter compares a standard suppressor finish, which quickly shows signs of wear and bubbling under rapid fire, to the new Cerakote. The prototype coating exhibits superior heat resistance, maintaining its integrity and adhesion even after extensive firing and direct water application. The video also briefly touches on the effectiveness of Cerakote Elite on bolt carrier groups for carbon resistance.

Quick Summary

Standard suppressor finishes can degrade and flake off due to extreme heat from rapid firing, creating a 'ring' effect. A new high-temperature Cerakote prototype shows superior durability, maintaining its integrity and adhesion even after extensive firing and water quenching, offering better thermal management for suppressors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes wear on rifle suppressors?

Rapid firing of centerfire rifles can cause suppressors to reach extremely high temperatures. This intense heat can degrade standard finishes, leading to bubbling, flaking, and a visible 'ring' pattern on the suppressor's surface.

What is the advantage of high-temperature Cerakote for suppressors?

High-temperature Cerakote is designed to withstand extreme heat, preventing the bubbling and flaking seen on standard finishes. It offers better adhesion and thermal management, dissipating heat more effectively and maintaining its integrity under intense firing conditions.

How does the new Cerakote prototype perform under extreme heat?

The prototype Cerakote demonstrated exceptional performance, maintaining its color and adhesion even after rapid firing that reached extreme temperatures. It also withstood a water quench test without damage, unlike standard finishes.

Can Cerakote be used on other firearm components?

Yes, Cerakote, including variants like Cerakote Elite, can be applied to various firearm components such as bolt carrier groups. It has shown effectiveness in resisting carbon buildup on these parts.
