6500 hr salt spray

An independent test was just completed. Cermakrome was tested against the best competitive material. ONLY Cermakrome survived the test with NO significant rust showing on the test panels. AT 4000 hr the competitive material was showing red rust, even when top coated with a special protective coating (Note the competitive material was tested both with and without the top coating.).

Salt Spray testing consists of applying a coating to a steel test panel. A thin line is scribed/scratched through the coating to bare metal. Then the coating is exposed to 100F water that contains a 5% salt. By comparison the ocean is approximately 3% salt. This mix is sprayed continuously onto the panels in an enclosed chamber. After 6524 hrs the panels were finally pulled. The panels were regularly inspected and we have photos of all the test panels at 1000 hrs, 2000 hrs, 4000 hrs and 6524 hrs.

At 1000 hours the competitive material is close to Cermakrome in appearance. At 2000 hrs a major difference is evident. At 4000 hrs red rust is highly visible creeping in from the sides on the competitive material but on Cermakrome one small dot is all that is visible, on an edge. At 6524 hrs the competitive material shows massive rust both creeping in from the sides and from the scribed mark in the center of the panel. Cermakrome has barely changed in appearance since the 4000 hr photo was taken. One small dot on an edge is basically all that is evident.

A report with photos of the test plates will be made available shortly. This will include photos of the parts at each point in the test. This will make an excellent sales tool, confirming the superiority of Cermakrome.

NO other Metallic Ceramic coating compares to Cermakrome.
