Featuring technology developed by parent company Covaron Advanced Materials—a maker of high-performance hybrid coatings for commercial, industrial, military and aerospace applications—InfernoWare Shield is a spray-applied coating designed to protect firearm and other components from heat and contact damage.

Its hybrid ceramic formula imparts high thermal and abrasion resistance, creating a protective barrier on components such as polymer grips and buttstocks, aluminum handguards, and steel frames and receivers.

Requiring no special application equipment, InfernoWare can be sprayed directly onto surfaces by the home user without using a separate catalyst and covers about 4 sq.-ft. per ounce.

It air cures at room temperature and, once fully hard, provides a durable barrier for components that may be subjected to prolonged or high rates of fire.

MSRP is $39 (4-oz. can). For more information, visit infernoware.net.
