KG Gun Kote was developed for use on military
weapons. The United States Navy Seal Teams were the first
units to use this product. There was a need for a material
that would hold up under extreme adverse conditions. The
coating needed to withstand 500-hour salt spray tests and
still meet the military machine gun firing requirements...
Gun Kote does this and its application has grown from Firearms
to Automotive/Motorcycle and Industrial applications, being
used on heads, cases, barrels, oil coolers, radiators and
engine blocks.
Gun Kote is a thin hard coating that will give excellent
protection from abrasion. It is not easily worn off such
as bluing, phosphate or chemically blackened surface treatments,
which can leave metal surfaces, bare and unprotected from
the elements. Gun Kote does not attract dirt or dust, has
excellent impact resistance and can be formulated to be
non-reflective. Gun Kote comes in two formulations; 2400
Series which use molybdenum or PTFE as a lubricating base
and the 1600 Series which have a high concentration of PTFE.
New for 2002 is our 3400 Series Boron based coatings and
the 4000 Series cold phosphate pretreatment, K-Phos.
When Gun Kote is properly applied it will provide:
- Outstanding corrosion protection. Gun Kote will withstand
a minimum of 500-hour salt spray tests at 5% salt, however,
tests performed for Armscor by the South African Navel
Logistics Dept. showed Gun Kote withstanding an equivalent
of a 7-year exposure. (Tests were performed on Aluminum
in a salt spray chamber with 50/50 on/off time at 35 degrees
C.)
- Resistant to chemicals, oils and solvents common to
Automotive and Aircraft Industries.
- Helps to cool parts by dissipating heat. Gun Kote will
withstand temperatures over 500 degrees F and as low as
-320 degrees F.
Gun Kote can be applied to all ferrous and non-ferrous
metals, over all types of plating and even some plastics.
Available in several colors including: Black, Gray, OD Green,
Stainless Steel, Service Brown, Tan and the New Clear Kote.
Gun Kote's uses are only limited to the imagination! (Colors
also available in Flat) Ask about our new 16/2 series High
Gloss Black. and Clear. Premium Custom Colors also available
in Greens, Blues, Pinks and Reds etc.
Gun Kote and its uses:
- Exterior of weapons (including clips) of all types from
handguns to G5 and G6 heavy artillery.
- Engine blocks and heads to dissipate heat.
- Engine water jackets and water pumps to act as a barrier
between dissimilar metals.
- Protection from corrosion while helping to transfer
heat and coolant.
- Transmission cases and rear end housings to transfer
heat out of the housings and when used with Gear Kote
and Engine Gard Oil Treatment will result in an average
35% reduction of heat.
- Radiators, Oil and Transmission Coolers, to dissipate
heat by 8% to 10% faster then bare metal while providing
excellent corrosion protection.
- Brake Calipers, to provide heat dissipation, corrosion
protection resulting in longer life.
These are just some of the applications of Gun Kote. You
are limited only by your imagination!
