AnoCeramic
Ceramic protection with an electrically insulating finish.
Selection guidance
Is AnoCeramic right for your part?
Cast metal parts, architectural hardware and applications requiring an insulating ceramic film.
Aluminum oxide / silicate resin bonded ceramic protective coating for metal surfaces.
How it differs
AnoCeramic emphasizes a hard ceramic finish and electrical insulation. Compare with PTFE 100X when dry lubricity is the primary requirement.

Qualification & application conditions
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 for your application
- Electrical rating for the intended application
- Cure schedule, thickness and hardness
- Substrate preparation and test conditions

Protection with a refined cast finish
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.
More about the formulation & uses
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.
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.
Typical uses
- Automotive, industrial, and aerospace components
- Architectural metalwork
- Weapons and taser hardware
- Electrical insulators requiring high voltage resistivity
- Cast aluminum parts upgraded to an alloy-machined appearance
Hard, durable ceramic film. A hard, durable coating with a finished ceramic texture over any manufactured metal part.
Corrosion resistance beyond 1000 hours. Exceeds 1000 hours salt spray per ASTM B117.
Electrical insulation. High voltage resistivity — specified for electrical insulators and taser components.
Chemical and solvent resistance. The ceramic film withstands chemical and solvent exposure in service.
Cast-to-alloy appearance. Casted aluminum parts take on the cosmetic appearance of machined alloy parts.
