Cerakote vs. Teflon® and Xylan® | Who Will Finish Strong? 

Cerakote® E-100 Blackout coating was tested for head-to-head corrosion resistance against Teflon® Black 958G, Teflon® Metallic Black 420G, and Xylan® 142X coatings, used in marine applications, to prevent corrosion. All coatings were applied to plain steel bolts and zinc-plated nuts to increase the galvanic corrosion rate.
The analysis was conducted in a Q-Fog salt chamber in accordance with ASTM B117, and evaluated using ASTM D610 for degree of corrosion. All coatings were applied to bolts and hex nuts commonly used in industrial marine environments. Cerakote’s standard for corrosion failure is rust grade 5-G, 3% rusted.
