Is Stealth-Tech™ the same as Teflon, Molykoat or TR Gun Kote?
All of the above coatings are polymer coatings, not a process. Just like paint, the results depend on the metal preparations and application method. If you apply paint to steel it will not adhere, even if you sand it and ruff up the finish prior to application. This is why you have to prime the metal before you paint it. The paint has to have something to stick to. The problem is that with any painted surface, if you prime it and paint it, it is too thick for most gun applications. If you breach the paint, the metal beneath starts to rust, the rust runs under the paint and the paint blisters and peals off. This is why Stealth-Tech™ is a process rather than a product. We use several products, but the method of application makes the difference. To obtain optimum adherence of the polymer coating, the metal has to be cleaned and phosphate coated prior to the application of the polymer coating. After the application of the coating, the coating has to be cured. Some polymer coatings will cur
