Sila-Coat Optically clear Silazane knife coating 1 oz

Optically clear nano coating for knives, created with a covalent bond through hydrolysis by interacting with moisture in the air as it cures. It creates a 3micron thick layer 8h pencil hardness, that adds non stick/lubricity by filling micro pores and adds corrosion protection. We had it portioned in 1oz sizes but the only bottling option at the time were 2.5 ounce aluminum bottle sizes. (the aluminum bottles are 2.5 ounce sizes but they contain a full 1 ounce of silazane coating)with a simple label that we’ll improve on later, we’ve been using it a few months now and sought after it for our own use. But we all hate when we have to re finish, etch, or patina a knife we make, and are always looking for a coating that will last longer without looking like an obviously painted clear coat or colored cerakote type baked on finish. Also we needed something that doesn’t require special equipment/special ovens so the customer can re apply as needed. This is a wipe on coating that will form a 3micron thick layer and stop, so its pretty foolproof as long as you de grease and clean the surface well before applying. You’ll want to wear gloves and use it in a well ventilated area, in other words no smelling the the bottles (we all have that subconscious reaction to explore with our nose, it won’t kill you but we strongly advise against it.), Even though it is food safe after curing its good to be safe and smart when working with any type of coatings, glues, and cleaning solutions/chemicals.
It doesn’t require any special equipment to apply aside from t-shirt material or other lint free cloth, you simply wipe it and make sure everything is coated well. You leave it wet and allow to cure for 25 minutes to be dry to the touch but 12-24hrs before using to your knife. You can also re-coat the edge after sharpening.

Sila Coat – Knife is a revolutionary polysilazane-based coating designed specifically for knife applications. This proprietary formulation is crafted under unique, precise parameters such as custom temperature, pressure, and vacuum conditions, resulting in silazanes with unmatched properties tailored for knife performance.

Key Features of Sila-Coat – Knife

1. Custom Silazane Chemistry:

Engineered exclusively for knives, the silazanes provide superior adhesion, durability, and chemical resistance.

These unique silazanes are not commercially available, ensuring a one-of-a-kind coating.

2. Optimized Curing Process:

Room-Temperature Curing: Designed to achieve ideal properties when cured at room temperature, forming a tough pre-ceramic layer without affecting steel hardness.

Momentary Heating: Brief heating to 800°F (427°C) significantly increases hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability, as recommended by the designer for peak performance.

3. Fast Drying and Curing Times:

Dry to Touch: Ready to handle in just 25 minutes.

Cure for Use: Fully cured in 24 hours, with continued strengthening over 5 days.

4. Performance Highlights:

Scratch and Wear Resistance: Tough, durable surface with dense silicon-oxygen and silicon-nitrogen bonds.

Corrosion Protection: Exceptional resistance to moisture, acids, and harsh chemicals.

Thermal Stability: Withstands high temperatures, with enhanced performance after 800°F treatment.

Aesthetic Finish: Smooth and flawless, complementing the blade’s design and functionality.

Sila Coat – Knife is a cutting-edge innovation in knife coatings, offering unmatched protection and performance through precisely tuned parameters and advanced material science.
