Product information
What AnoCeramic does
Slickote AnoCeramic is a manufactured coating applied over metal surfaces to provide a cosmetically appealing appearance that is hard, durable, chemical resistant, corrosion resistant, and electrically insulating — with a finished ceramic texture.

Applications & coating system
Cast metal parts, architectural hardware and applications requiring an insulating ceramic film.
The film is built on aluminum oxide and aluminum silicate ceramics in a bonded resin system. It exceeds 1000 hours of salt spray per ASTM B117 and provides high voltage resistivity, which is why it serves electrical insulators and taser hardware alongside automotive, industrial, aerospace, architectural, and weapons applications.
On cast aluminum, AnoCeramic does cosmetic work too: casted parts take on the appearance of machined alloy parts.
AnoCeramic and PTFE 100X
AnoCeramic emphasizes a hard ceramic finish and electrical insulation. Compare with PTFE 100X when dry lubricity is the primary requirement.
Specification requirements
The >1000-hour ASTM B117 statement is a reported salt-spray result. Request the substrate, preparation and acceptance criteria; it is not a service-life guarantee.
Confirm before application
- Electrical rating for the intended application
- Cure schedule, thickness and hardness
- Substrate preparation and test conditions
AnoCeramic application examples
Illustrations identify the metal surface, finish and coating function.
Electrical insulating hardware
- Surface
- Aluminum
- Finish
- Grey
AnoCeramic provides an electrically insulating surface on metal components. This support illustrates the role of its ceramic film; final electrical suitability depends on the application.
Architectural metalwork
- Surface
- Metal
- Finish
- Desert Tan
Architectural metalwork benefits from a durable finish that also provides corrosion and chemical resistance. AnoCeramic offers a choice of black, desert tan, green, and grey.
Industrial cast components
- Surface
- Cast aluminum
- Finish
- Green
AnoCeramic protects industrial metal parts with a hard ceramic film. On cast aluminum, the finish can give the surface a cleaner, machined-alloy appearance.
Working surface: The ceramic-coated metal surface; electrical suitability needs application-specific confirmation. Illustrative applications and representative finishes. Confirm the substrate, preparation, and service requirements with Slickote before specifying a coating.
