How strong and durable is the Cerakote Glacier series coatings? I run a coated exhaust pipe through a few abusive tests to see how it holds up. Sometimes you just need to see something to appreciate it.
A short section of pipe was cleaned, coated and cured using Cerakote Glacier Black. It was heated up with a blow torch, then immediately submerged in cold water. After it completely cooled it was beat with a sledgehammer and set to with a wire brush.
The heat had no effect. No cracks or chipping.
The cold water dunk did not crack or disrupt the finish.
The sledgehammer removed coating only where it was hit.
The wire brush started to remove the coating.
Now I don't recommend doing this to your finished items but it is nice to see some after effects. At .001" it is durable and tough. Great for firearms, automotive parts, restoration projects, chemical protection, etc.
