## Description

Cerakote HIR Series (GEN II NIR) is the 2nd-generation near-infrared signature management ceramic thin-film coating, built on proven H-Series ceramic-polymer technology. It controls both visual appearance and near-infrared (NIR) reflectance signature for camouflage against 3rd-generation night vision devices. The coating delivers ultra-high hardness, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance and chemical resistance. It is a single-coat thin-film system with recommended thickness of 1 mil (25 μm), requiring oven curing. Compliant with MIL-DTL-44436 military NIR reflectance specification, it is widely used on small arms, tactical hardware and defense platform components, providing long-lasting protection under harsh field environments while managing NIR signature.
