Ambient Flash

AMBIENT FLASH

Ambient Flash is a process that allows the coatings carrier solvents to completely evaporate and or “flash” prior to the cure schedule.

Cerakote is a solvent-based coating comprised of both liquid and dry materials. The liquid materials primarily consist of carrier solvents, which allow the coating to be sprayable in a liquid form.

Immediately after the coating has been applied, the carrier solvents will begin to slowly evaporate. Through this process of solvent evaporation, the coating will self-level and provide a smooth even finish.

NOTA: Prior to following the Elite and H-Series cure schedule, Cerakote recommends a minimum of 15 minutes and a maximum of 2 hours for the coating to ambiently flash.
