The Gold Hi-Tek Supercoat is very hard, durable and very slippery, This coating is specifically suited for coating Lead alloys as used with all firearms to eliminate the need for Copper Jacketing or Copper Electroplating.
.When applied to bare Lead alloys, and correctly cured, the coating compares very favourably with Copper Jacketed and Electroplated type of projectiles. Due to unique technology, Gold Hi-Tek Supercoat is able to "reflect" heat from the Alloy being used, and virtually eliminates need for use of Gas Checks as used in high velocity ammunition, and no heat damage occurs to the projectiles with the high
powder charge and high velocities usually encountered.
During firing of coated ammunition, the coating automatically "adjusts" properties to maximise lubricity and engineering requirements, to minimise heat deformation to barrels and alloys, which maintains accuracy of guns and fired projectiles.
Projectiles that have been multi coated with this coating, exhibit excellent handling properties with automated loading machines, and leave no residues or Lead particles with the mechanical handling equipment.
When fired with various calibre guns, the reduction of atomised Lead is significantly reduced and compared favourably with Copper Jacketed type of projectiles.
Due to high lubricity of coating, frictional heat warping and Barrel wear is minimised, and is a great plus, over Copper Jacketed and Plated projectiles, which cause premature wear due to lack of lubrication, and having direct metal to metal frictional contact.
During handling of coated projectiles, the cured coatings minimises Lead absorption by skin contact to operators. When tested with various calibre projectiles, from speeds varying from 600 feet per seconds to 2000 feet per second, the projectiles captured in Water tanks, showed very little damage to the coated surfaces, and coating remained in tact on the metal alloy, even when fired with difficult configuration Gun Barrel Riflings.
