Spectrum Defense Coatings Blog

Welcome to the Spectrum Defense Coatings blog, where we break down how real-world aerospace and high-performance programs use advanced coatings to solve corrosion, wear, thermal, and environmental challenges. Here you’ll find practical, engineering-focused articles on Cerakote ceramic coating, heat-dissipating coatings, electric barrier and conductive systems, low-reflective and high-temp coatings, powder coating, and hydrographic coating—written to help you specify coatings with confidence.
