Ceramic Coating Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQ)
What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic Coating is the most advanced and durable thermal barrier on the market. Available in a variety of colours, ceramic coatings give your project a personalized touch that will make your project superior in both appearance and performance vs. the competition. From the corrosion and debris protection to reductions in the radiant heat of up to 50% in some cases, in more practical terms it will be up to 30-35 %, the ceramic coating will improve your engine’s horsepower and torque while extending component life by reducing temperature fatigue in critical components.
What are the benefits of Ceramic Coating?
This list provides a simple outline that explains how the ceramic coating process can help your parts perform better and last longer all while maintaining a showroom finish.
- Improves thermal efficiency of the engine system
- Reduces radiated heat levels on all exhaust components, especially effective on tubular performance headers and exhaust manifolds
- Maintains uniform temperature throughout the exhaust system
- “Trapped” heat improves exhaust gas velocity, effectively “scavenging” each cylinder and increasing horsepower and torque
- Keeps the engine compartment cooler
- Extends header life
- Lower temperatures extend the life of neighbouring components
- Improves thermal oxidation protection at higher temperatures
- Reduces parasitic drag losses
- Provides a custom appearance with flat, satin, finishes
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Ceramic coating provides protection against rust and corrosion
- Available in a variety of colours and finishes to fit any project
- Mil-Spec rated material and approved QPL colours
- Ceramic coating for firearm application
