TEFLON/MOLY OVEN CURE, GUN FINISH
The Next Generation Of Durable, Spray-On, Professional Gun FinishesBrownells Teflon/Moly Gun Finish is an ultra-modern, thermo-set, spray-on, self-lubricating coating, chemically bonded to a phenolic-epoxy base so it’s resistant to scratches and abrasion. Because the finish is baked on, you get some extra benefits. As the metal heats, its pores open allowing the Teflon component to penetrate. On high-wear areas, like slide rails, the coating will eventually wear away but the Teflon will still be in the pores, lubricating and protecting. Plus, dense colors won’t lighten, dissolve or break down under all common gun solvents. One application makes any properly prepared metal almost impervious to oxidation. It’s completely protected from rust and ready for final assembly. Perfect for restoring military rifles and parts; coating hard-to-blue, stainless steel or aluminum parts; refurbishing hunting guns and self-defense weapons, or refinishing any piece of metal that needs a durable, self-lubricating, rust-proof coating that lasts and will look great for years to come. Great “hiding” ability makes it a natural for quickly redoing those dinged and pitted working guns (after we get the rust out of the pits, of course).
 
GUN-KOTETM OVEN CURE, GUN FINISH
Mfr: BROWNELLS Genuine GUN-KOTE Spray-On/Bake-On Finish The world-famous, ultra-thin, friction-reducing coating that lasts and lasts. GUN-KOTE is a durable, second-generation epoxy, thermoset resin finish that will not break down, peel or dissolve. In fact, once it is applied, the only way to remove GUN-KOTE is to abrasive blast the part. It is resistant to all known gun solvents and thinners. Each coat is approximately .0004” thick so GUN-KOTE can be used on both internal and external parts where a close-tolerance fit is required without having to worry about interference. This makes GUN-KOTE the perfect, maintenance-free coating for handgun slides and frames, shotgun receivers and magazine tubes, rifle actions and bolts, anywhere you need an ultra-thin, self-lubricating, permanent coating that protects and wears like iron. 
This finish requires the part to be abrasive blasted down to the white metal. It is painted on in several coats and then cured in an oven. It WILL NOT adhere to polymer or plastic parts like Glock frames. It will adhere to carbon steel or stainless steel and once it is heat cured, the only practical way to get it off is abrasive blast. The oven we use is limited to handgun, carbine or short rifles, shotguns and small parts. We cannot heat cure rifle barreled actions or shotgun barrels over 28”. There is no limit for DuraCoat applications since they are not heat cured.



John Norrell’s Arms, Inc. Firearms Finishes

Moly Resin OverviewMoly Resin™ is a product trademark of John Norrell Arms, Inc. d/b/a Norrell Manufacturing. These finishes are specifically formulated from a phenolic resin base and molybdenum disulfide (a superior lubricant) with an exclusive blend of additives only available through Norrell Manufacturing. The additives create a phenolic coating that is hard, durable, and extremely chemical and heat resistant. The special low temperature catalyst will cause the Resin to harden and bond to the surface to form a barrier to acids, oils, paint removers, powder solvents, bore cleaners and other strong industrial solvents. The low curing temperature prevents possible heat damage to parts during the curing process. No other thermally cured firearm finish available on the market today has the same characteristics and properties that Moly Resin™ offers you a professional finish that will last a lifetime. Moly Resin™ is a coating developed for ordnance usage on equipment and weapons, providing excellent corrosion protection, abrasion resistance and lubricity to meet automatic weapon dry firing requirements after 60 days seawater immersion.     Moly Resin™ will adhere to all metals including the following: aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel,  cast iron, titanium, copper, silver solder, blued or parkerized finish, anodized aluminum nickel and chrome plate,  (Note: nickel and chrome plated surfaces must be abrasive blasted to allow the best adhesion of the resin) . For all metals, best overall results are achieved on freshly sandblasted surfaces A note about the difference between a typical paint and coatings like Moly Resin. A typical paint is a formulation of pigments and other ingredients diluted with a solvent. When the solvent evaporates, the pigments harden and that hard residue is what is referred to as paint. Unfortunately, paint is susceptable and damaged easily and removed by many, if not most chemical solvents, acids, gun cleaners, bore cleaners, etc. A coating like Moly Resin thermally cured or air cure coatings are actual a complex mix of phenolics, polymers, etc. that are highly reactive to each other but kept from reacting by a catalyst mixed into the coating formula. The catalyst is activated by heat at a certain temperature or by oxygen as in the Air Dry Moly product. Once the catalyst is activated, a chemical reaction occurs between the various chemical to form a totally new substance. The new substance formed becomes very hard and resistant to the original solvents used to dissolve the original phenolics and other base resins, etc. This is why Moly Resin is not considered to be a paint.     Characteristics and BenefitsMOLY RESIN Coatings...

Moly Resin™ was specifically designed for firearm owners. In the past, a similar finish was obtainable only by vatting or plating your firearm. Moly Resin™ can also be applied over existing finishes such as bluing, parkerizing, anodizing, plating, etc. or on a sandblasted surface. The coating adheres to all metals and most plastics. Specifications:Appearance:The bonded coating will appear uniform in color, smooth and free from cracks, runs, sags, scratches, pin holes, blisters, bubbles, and foreign matter. Thickness:The optimal thickness of the coating will be between .0003" and .0009" unless a thicker coating is desired. The thin coating characteristics of less than one thousands of an inch allows easy re-assembly of precision fitted parts Lubricity:Moly Resin™ contains molybdenum disulfide, which provides excellent anti-friction characteristics. Wear life is comparable to blued, parkerized and other common firearm finishes. Moly Resin™ is a phenolic Resin that when thermally cured, produces the most durable thermally cured coated surface of any products on the market. Wear life when tested on Tabor Abrasurf with #CS10 wheel installed @ 500 grams weight minimum 235 RPM's. Thermal Stability:The cured coating will withstand exposure at 500 f for 1000 hours minimum and 1000 hour minimum soak at -125 f. Minimum initial oxidation temperature is 880 f. Thermal breakaway is 1000 f minimum. Fluid Resistance:Moly Resin™ will meet 24 hour emersion requirements in the following fluids: aviation gasoline, hydraulic fluid, jet fuel, lubricating oils, paint removers, trichlorethylene, nitric, sulphuric and hydrochloric acids, hydrogen peroxide, gun powder solvents, strong bases such as ammonium and sodium hydroxide, and numerous other strong chemicals. Corrosion Resistance:Moly Resin™, when applied to bare sandblasted cold rolled steel will pass the test procedures for salt water spray at 1000 hours, salt water immersion at a minimum of 1000 hours, accelerated salt spray test equivalent to 30 years marine atmosphere exposure, and 60 days sea water immersion. Hardness:Hardness meets and/or exceeds the hardness of any Epoxy,Teflon or most other thermally cured firearm coating or paints on the market. hardness for thermal cured Moly resin exceed a 9H on the paint hardness scale. Air Dry Moly Resin Air Dry Moly Resin will survive a 12 hour soak in MEK (paint remover) and is harder than 9H on a hardness scale. It is also very abrasive resistant. It sprays thicker than temperature cured Moly Resin products and will not take extreme temperatures like regular Moly Resin, therefore, it is not designed for hot barrels or internal parts that have extreme tolerance fitting. It is for use on stocks, scopes, plastics and other surfaces that can't be heated to 300 for curing. The end result is that you have a hard coating that will not come off when strong industrial chemicals, firearm solvents, bore cleaners, etc. come in contact with the coating. Air Dry Moly is water based so you may thin and clean up with water if required.

DuraCoat FAQ

How durable is DuraCoat?  
 DuraCoat is permanent. With normal use, a firearm finished with DuraCoat will last several lifetimes. DuraCoat, like fine wine, gets better with age. As they say, “DuraCoat wears in, not out.”   
What is DuraCoat?  
 DuraCoat is a two-part chemical coating. Unlike other firearm finishes, DuraCoat was created specifically for firearms. Most other firearm finishes are “spin-off’s” from other industries.   
Is DuraCoat Teflon based? 
 No. Teflon is a lubricating coating which is great for internals, but will not wear as well as DuraCoat on the exterior surface of a firearm. DuraCoat’s combination of elasticity and hardness creates a finish impervious to impact, scratching and the elements. Some users say DuraCoat displays some lubricating qualities, but this phenomenon was never intended when DuraCoat was created.   
Will DuraCoat adhere to hard coat anodizing and Parkerizing?  
 DuraCoat loves hard coat anodizing and Parkerizing as a base. Both processes leave a good rooting surface for DuraCoat.   
I hunt along saltwater. Will DuraCoat withstand the salty environment?  
 Certainly. DuraCoat is well suited for salty environments. One of DuraCoat’s attributes is its extreme ability to resist salt corrosion. A firearm coated with DuraCoat simply will not rust...EVER!   
Will DuraCoat burn off my barrel?  
 DuraCoat can withstand temperatures as high as 600 degrees F. With “normal” shooting, your barrel will never get close to being that hot. If you are fortunate enough to own a transferable machine gun, or if you like to “blaze” with your semi-auto, we can use DuraHeat on your barrel, which can handle temperatures up to 1,800 degrees F.   
How easy is DuraCoat removed?  
 Not easy at all. The elastic nature of DuraCoat resists blasting. We use a special blast media that safely removes DuraCoat without damaging the surface of the firearm. We recommend lightly blasting the surface, being cautious not to remove any DuraCoat. Just “beat up” the DuraCoat giving it “tooth” so we can apply a new layer of DuraCoat and it has something to adhere to.   
Which is more durable, DuraCoat or DuraBake?  
 Both DuraCoat and DuraBake are extremely durable. The advantage of DuraBake is its availability in an incredible selection of colors.   
How come other firearm finish manufacturers boast hardness, but make no mention of elasticity?  
 In the case of firearm finishes, a common misconception is “harder is better”. This is faulty “old school thinking”. Hardness means brittle and brittle means chipping. DuraCoat, being elastic, will not chip.  Elasticity provides protection by “giving” when confronted with impact. Elasticity also helps prevent scratches and mars.   
What is the turnaround time if I send a firearm to Corsica Coatings to be refinished? 
 Generally the turnaround time is roughly 4 weeks. This time is required for complete cure of the product to ensure the best possible results. If we get extremely busy and the time gets extended,  we will  notify our customers.   
Do we offer Law Enforcement Pricing or discounts for Active Duty  Military on DuraCoat Products? 
 Yes, contact us for details. Retired FBI agents are excluded!! Just kidding DaDave!       DuraCoat Clear is available for the same applications as the one color DuraCoat above for $30.00 less than the singled colored prices. Please note that clear will not cover imperfections and if there is rust, Corrosion or any other foreign matter it must be removed prior to coating. In that case, prices for clear will be the same as one color since the same level of preparation is required to achieve a solid bond and lasting coating       Zinc Phosphate Parkerizing PRICING
