Silicone-based composite
Silicone-based composite:
Cerasil® is an innovative ceramic-silicone bicomposite coating designed to provide exceptional wear protection while ensuring remarkable non-stick properties. This coating is applied by high-speed, very high-temperature plasma spraying, allowing the particles to form a dense, ultra-resistant undercoat as they cool.
Thanks to the addition of silicone particles, Cerasil® provides unparalleled non-stick properties, ideal for applications requiring low friction and high abrasion resistance.
