Notes
  • DO NOT mix Cerakote and catalyst in plastic containers as this will compromise the integrity of the coating
  • DO NOT exceed the recommended Cerakote to catalyst mixing ratios
  • Your Catalyst Weight – This is the weight in grams of catalyst that needs to be added to your selected Cerakote
  • Your Total Weight – The total weight of Cerakote weighed and catalyst needed is displayed here
  • Mixing in glass graduated cylinders is recommended. A list of approved plastics is available in the Elite & H-Series and F Series Training Manuals
  • Use only the recommended strainer size for each coating that is available on each Cerakote bottle and TDS

About this tool

KLEEQ built this calculator because we run one every day and wanted it to work the way a shop actually works: fast on a bench tablet, the whole Cerakote catalogue searchable by code or colour name, and the correct catalyst named for each series. It is free for any Cerakote applicator to use.

Every ratio, strainer size and product name here comes from Cerakote's own technical data sheets, training manuals and shop listings. KLEEQ is an applicator, not a manufacturer — we are not affiliated with or endorsed by Cerakote or NIC Industries, and nothing on this page replaces the current TDS on the bottle in your hand.
