High PTFE "Teflon" Coatings -
An excellent finish, for its high lubricity and corrosion resistance, this stuff tends to penetrate into the pores of the surface,
so that protection remains in place, even after the color has worn through.
Satin, matte, and glossy surfaces can be achieved with this finish.

Molybdenum Disulfide "Moly" Coatings -
Representing the 2nd generation in thermally cured coatings.
This tough finish provides excellent scratch/wear resistance,
excellent corrosion resistance, and high lubricity.
Satin, matte, and glossy surfaces can be achieved with this finish.

Ceramic Fill Coatings -
Representing the 3rd generation in thermally cured coatings, this is the ultimate applied finish.
Its hard surface offers superior scratch/wear resistance to other coatings, with excellent corrosion resistance and lubricity.
This finish achieves a very non-reflective matte appearance.

Melonite QPQ -
Melonite QPQ™ is a thermochemical process (ferritic nitrocarburizing) used for the case hardening of iron-based metals. In a molten bath of special salts, nitrogen, carbon, and small amounts of oxygen are diffused into the surface of the steel, creating a super-hard surface, called the "compound layer." Additionally, small amounts of carbon are pulled from within the substrate, toward the surface, creating a "diffusion zone," which exhibits a gradient of concentration of carbon and nitrogen, decreasing toward the core. Thus, the process provides both a hardening of the surface, and a gradient alloying of the substrate, which improves the ductility and overall strength of the material.
Melonite QPQ™ can be used on both carbon steel and stainless steel. Melonized steel gun parts will be blue-black in color, and will exhibit surface hardness in the area of RC70, lower coefficient of friction/enhanced surface lubricity, superior running wear performance, superior sliding wear resistance, superior heat resistance, and superior corrosion resistance. The treatment penetrates to a depth of ~.004" to .008," with surface dimensional growth of only .0002" to .0004"(negligible), so post-treatment fitting is not a concern. Final appearance of the surface is dependent on the type of surface prep used, with surfaces tending to appear a bit smoother than before treatment. Thus, surfaces prepared via our preferred method of aluminum oxide blasting, which have a matte appearance, bear a smoother, yet non-reflective, satin post-treatment appearance. Polished surfaces tend to retain approximately the surface appearance they had prior to treatment. For those who love the look of a "tactical" black finish, Melonite QPQ™ is, without doubt, the best practical surface treatment available for firearms today.
