The More You Know

Wednesday, September 25th, 2019

Dead Air Silencers dropped this bit of knowledge for those wondering.

How quickly a suppressor discolors, or the Cerakote burns off, depends greatly on how fast it heats up. You’ll find high-mass suppressors (like a Sandman-S) slowly heat up. Tubeless designs like the Nomad get heat to the surface fast. ?

On a side note, because the exterior of our cans are either stainless steel or titanium, you don’t have to worry about corrosion even if the Cerakote is completely gone.?
