Cerakote Elite Blackout is our best performing black. It is a complete achromatic color with a black eggshell finish. We have taken the industry leading performance of Cerakote H Series to the next level and improved hardness, abrasion resistance and lubricity, all in a thinner application. We have accomplished this by developing an advanced resin technology that enables the incorporation of the highest performance engineered ceramics. Hydrophobic Properties: The contact angle of Cerakote Elite Series was measured using the dependent drop method, in which the contact angle is measured from the solid surface to the liquid drop. A measurement of 90° or higher is considered hydrophobic. Cerakote Elite series coatings measured at a contact angle as high as 107° which is considered hydrophobic. Note: All Elite products come with a catalyst and require a 325 Mesh Strainer (SE-277). Find product application guides, technical data sheets and SDS information in the Resources section.
