Shine Craft: Ceramic Coating as a Replacement for Fluororesin

With Shine Kogei's "Sera Armor," the film properties surpass those of fluororesin! The range of base materials that can be processed is also expanding.

The general hardness of fluororesin coatings is around 2 to 3H. The heat resistance temperature is between 200°C and 260°C. With these specifications, wear occurs quickly, leading to a short lifespan, and the limited heat resistance may restrict the range of applications. Shine Kogei's "Cera Armor" features a high hardness coating with a pencil hardness of 9H. Additionally, its heat resistance temperature is 500°C, demonstrating more than twice the physical properties of fluororesin. Unlike conventional ceramics, "Cera Armor" forms a coating through low-temperature sintering. The typical curing temperature is 200°C. Furthermore, curing can be adapted to the heat resistance temperature of the material. For example, when applying Cera Armor to polycarbonate, a ceramic coating can be formed with a heat treatment of around 80°C. Therefore, it can be processed not only on resins and engineering plastics but also on glass and wood. ◆ Inquiries ◆ When making an inquiry, it would be helpful to provide the following information for a smoother process: 1. The nature of the substrate to be coated (material, shape, size, etc.) 2. The purpose of the coating (e.g., non-stick, chemical resistance, slip properties, etc.) 3. Usage conditions (e.g., temperature, chemicals, wear conditions, etc.) *If possible, providing drawings would be beneficial for estimating and calculations.
