Curing has always been the bottleneck in finishing operations. Cerakure’s catalytic infrared (IR) technology eliminates that limitation. Our innovative oven design dramatically reduces cure time and operating costs while making it possible to cure materials that were once too sensitive for traditional ovens.
Unlike convection systems that waste energy heating air and metal, Cerakure targets energy directly into the coating itself. This allows coatings to cure from the inside out, completing cycles up to eight times faster than conventional ovens—without overheating or damaging substrates.
Powered by low electrical input and liquid propane or natural gas, Cerakure systems deliver unmatched efficiency. Operating costs are significantly lower than convection ovens, and cool-down time is under two minutes, enabling near-continuous production.
For manufacturers in wood finishing, Cerakure provides a breakthrough in curing water-based stains, sealers, and clear coats. Gentle, penetrating IR energy accelerates moisture evaporation and crosslinking without surface burn or color distortion—ideal for furniture, cabinetry, and architectural wood components.
For industrial coatings, additive manufacturing, and metal finishing, Cerakure eliminates the need for long air-dry or high-bake cycles. Coatings that once required several hours or even days to cure can now be fully processed in a fraction of the time, whether applied to metal, polymer, or composite substrates.
Cerakure’s Catalytic IR technology represents a scalable, environmentally responsible advancement for any coating process—water-based or solvent-based—offering superior performance while reducing energy use, floor space, and environmental impact.

Testing and Results
Cerakure’s Catalytic Infrared (IR) technology was evaluated across a wide range of coatings to validate its curing efficiency and consistency. The results confirm what our customers experience daily — full cures in a fraction of the traditional time, with no compromise in appearance or performance.
Tack-Free Times:
Most coatings reach tack-free condition within 10 minutes, allowing immediate handling, stenciling, or assembly.
The only exception is C-Series, which becomes tack-free in approximately 20 minutes due to its slower crosslinking chemistry.
- Film Quality: Coatings cured to full hardness with a smooth, uniform surface and excellent adhesion.
- Durability: Performance metrics met or exceeded manufacturer specifications for adhesion, flexibility, and chemical resistance.
- Thermal Stability: Substrates remained cool to the touch throughout the cycle—ideal for polymer, composite, and temperature-sensitive materials.
- Energy Efficiency: Cures achieved at lower overall system temperatures, reducing energy demand by up to 50% compared to convection ovens.
In Addition:
From water-based stains and primers to high-temperature ceramic coatings, Cerakure’s Catalytic IR process delivers reliable, repeatable results—fast, clean, and consistent.
The ability to cure dissimilar coatings on a single line unlocks new possibilities for manufacturers looking to increase throughput and reduce operating costs.
