  • CAS trade-secret
  • IUPAC: Unknown (trade secret)

Ambient Curable Resin (Trade Secret) (CAS trade-secret) appears in 1 of the 2,122 car-care products CarCareTruth tracks (as of August 2026).

Identity not disclosed by the manufacturer. In the Cerakote AH-204 SDS (v1.0, 2023-10-13) this component appears at 50-<75%, carries an ACGIH 2023 ceiling exposure value of 300 mg/m3 in §8, and is the §14-named environmentally hazardous substance for transport. Component-specific health classification cannot be assessed beyond the mixture-level SDS data.

Trade-secret resin listed in NIC Industries SDSs as "Ambient Curable Resin," the majority component (50-<75%) of the Cerakote Professional Ceramic Paint Coating (AH-204). The manufacturer withholds identity and CAS number under OSHA HCS 29 CFR 1910.1200(i). The AH-204 SDS §14 names this component as the environmentally hazardous substance for transport classification, consistent with the mixture-level "very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects" statement in §2.3 and §12. The naming convention and the mixture's moisture-reactive behavior (§10 "reacts with water") are consistent with an alkoxysilane/siloxane-family ambient-cure resin system, but that inference is not confirmed by the SDS.
