What other coating companies don’t want you to know
Rod-form ceramic coatings are better
Saturn Ceramic Coating specializes in applying rod-form ceramic- the hardest, most wear resistant coating

ABRASIVE APPLICATIONS:
Greatly extends wear life of pump shafts, cylinders, wear sleeves, grinder spindles, seal surfaces, forging skid rails and other rotational or reciprocating wear areas

ELECTRICAL & THERMAL APPLICATIONS:
Protects expensive equipment by insulating induction coils, parts nests, welding locator pins, heat shields and other components to provide an electrical or thermal barrier

Our ceramic coatings last longer.. so your parts last longer

• Excellent rotational and reciprocating wear resistance along with unparalleled thermal protection & electrical non-conductivity.
  
• Saturn’s rod-form ceramic application is the most difficult ceramic coating to apply and to finish.
  
• Saturn’s rod-form process introduces a fused ceramic rod to a 5600-degree (F) flame. The 100% molten ceramic is blown onto the substrate at speeds up to 550 feet per second.
  
• Saturn’s rod-form process delivers ceramic to the substrate with greater kinetic energy and thermal mass for higher particle-to-particle cohesive bonding.
  
• Heat transfer is 50% lower than with other application methods which avoids part warpage or distortion.
  
  

The "new" technology is not the answer

• Other companies have tried to spray rod-form ceramic and found it difficult or impossible to correctly apply and accurately finish- this has been the catalyst for the so called "new" technology coatings.
  
• The "new" technology coatings are much easier to apply & finish. Attributes which benefit the applicator, but also result in an inferior coating.
  
• The maximum amount of these powdered-form ceramics that reaches the molten state is 80% and could be as low as 20%. If it’s not fully molten it won’t bond properly either to the working particles or to the substrate.
  
• With powder-based coatings thermal nonconductivity, electrical insulation and wear resistance are all compromised.
  
• Parts can be distorted during application due to extreme heat.
