General Industrial

Because Keronite has such a unique combination of desirable properties, a wide range of articles can be coated to improve surface quality, surface condition and to enable the use of more cost effective light metal base materials:

Consumer products

Marine

Textile machines

Hand tools

Moulds

Aerospace

Electronics

	Consumer goods: light metal components for eyewear, MP3 players, mobile ‘phone cases, compact disc players, binoculars, optical instruments, laptops and even magnesium bicycle frames can be cost effectively pre-treated with Keronite. This enhances the durability and resistance to wear and tear of products where perceived value and quality surface finish are all important.
	Marine: Keronite is used in a harsh marine environment, not only to protect against corrosion, but also in racing applications for improved wear resistance of lightweight aluminium parts.
	Textile machinery: where light weight components with a hard, wear resistant finish are required, then Keronite presents a more durable, versatile and eco-friendly alternative to hard anodising and plasma spray coatings.
	Plastic moulding industry: in combination with PTFE or as a stand alone coating, Keronite can extend the life of aluminium plastics mould tools used in the blow moulding, vacuum forming and injection moulding industries.

	Aerospace: Keronite is approved by the European Space Agency (ESA) for use on satellite hardware. The ESA have tested the coating's resistance to outer space conditions by means of a thermal shock test. This test immerses the coating in boiling water and liquid nitrogen alternately. The Keronite coatings far surpassed the SO cycle test requirement.
	Electronics industry: there are a variety of applications for Keronite within the electronics and electrical industries, from pick-and-place nozzles for PCB production to products that utilise the electrical insulating properties of Keronite.
	Paint and powdercoat: Keronite provides an environmentally-friendly pre-treatment for paint and powdercoat systems on magnesium and aluminium surfaces, providing exceptional corrosion performance and a viable alternative to toxic chromate-containing pre-treatment systems.

Architecture: As a patented process, Keronite ceramic surfaces are quite unique and the benefits are just beginning to be recognised in the world of architecture. The advantages of working with aluminium are well understood: it is light yet strong and very easy to handle both in production and at the installation stage. With a thin, protective layer of Keronite ceramic, aluminium becomes more robust, warmer to the touch and aesthetically quite striking.
