CermaKrome Exhaust System Coatings

CERMAKROME� - Exhaust System Coatings
The Highest Performing, Most Widely Used �Chrome� Exhaust Coating Available

CermaKrome (MCX) is a metallic ceramic coating capable of providing extremely high levels of corrosion and chemical protection in a very thin film while producing a very high luster, near chrome appearance. When applied to exhaust systems, MCX will withstand substrate temperatures of over 1300�F and environmental temperatures of up to 1600�F (higher temperatures with a base coat or double coating). In addition, the direct flame will not cause delamination as long as substrate temperatures do not exceed this temperature. Due to its unique ceramic nature, the coating also functions as a very effective thermal barrier, with reduced thermal radiation characteristics. Requires a 500�F cure, with maximum hardness achieved with a 650�F cure. After curing, the coating requires �burnishing� to be sealed. This burnishing process can produce a very high luster, near chrome, appearance. MCX cures out to a very hard surface with excellent adhesion. The water-based solvent system provides for an environmentally friendly material with a bake/cure cycle that is not as hazardous as other thermally cured resin systems.

  • Protective to over 1300�F Base Metal Temperature
    • Maintains adhesion at environmental temperatures up to 2000�F.
  • Designed for single coat coverage (.001_ to .0015_)
    • Can be applied in a thicker film without cracking or flaking (.0018_ to .0020_).
  • High Corrosion Resistance
    • 6500 Hour Salt Spray ASTM B117.
  • May be applied over MCS to withstand higher substrate temperatures.
  • Water based, non flammable, no V.O.C.�s.
    • Requires oven curing at 500�F for 1 hour.
    • Easy cleanup with water.

Part #MCX available in Quart & Gallon.

    APPLICATION:

    Ready to spray no thinning needed (may be thinned with distilled or deionized water) STIR AND SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE BEST TO MIX IN A BLENDER

    1. ALL PARTS MUST BE ABSOLUTELY FREE OF ALL OILS, GREASE, MOISTURE, DUST, SCALE OR CORROSION. Clean metal using standard cleaning methods with Columbia Coatings Super Degreaser (SD-MTO25)  Sandblast parts (ONLY WHEN DRY) with 10X EpiX Blasting Media MP 70/100 Grit (EPIX), or 120 grit aluminum oxide.

    2. Clean all parts using acetone, M.E.K., or similar material. DO NOT USE petroleum based solvents.

    3. Apply coating in light fog passes to achieve a thickness of .001" to .0015". Minimum part temperature should be 65�F, if below warm up part. Spray all hard to reach areas first.

    4. Inspect part for complete coverage. Part should be a light green color.

    5. Immediately dry coating in an environment of from 100�F to 150�F. Part should change to a chalk white.

    6. Bake part at a temperature of at least 500�F. for one (1) hour. Time starts when part reaches bake temperature.

    7. If a second coat is desired, lightly blast at 25/30 psi, re-spray, dry and bake.

    8. To polish either lightly blast with #12 glass bead, then polish with fine steel wool/polishing compound, or vibratory polish. Metallic Ceramic Coating. Polishes out To a Chrome-like Finish
