Gas-Out
Gas-Out is a preparation procedure that requires heating the parts to evaporate any remaining solvents from the degreasing phase, in the Cerakote preparation process.
This will also draw out any potentially trapped oils, air pockets, or contaminants in the substrate.
Removing all contaminants and trapped air from the substrate before applying and curing Cerakote, will ensure optimal adhesion and performance.
Gas-Out Tips:
- Signs of Gas-Out can show defects such as bubbles, pinholes, craters, fisheyes, and bumps.
- Certain parts may require multiple Gas Out attempts to completely remove entrapped oils or contaminants.
RECOMMENDED GAS-OUT TEMPERATURES FOR SUBSTRATE TYPE
| MATERIAL | TEMPERATURE | TIME |
|---|---|---|
| Metal | 250°- 300°F (121°- 149°C) | 60 Minutes |
| Plastic | 150°- 180°F (65°- 82°C) | 60 Minutes |
| Composites | 150° (65°) | 60 Minutes |
