The most popular kind of coating on the market today. This type of coating (metallic ceramic) is used by more companies and manufacturers than any other material. It is extremely popular on exhaust systems, where the high luster finish provides a very attractive, durable surface. The high temperature characteristics of ceramics have been combined with metallic frits to create a coating that can withstand metal temperatures in excess of 1300 degrees F and provides 5000 hr. salt spray protection.
A truly unique coating that is based on a water/solvent system, may be applied to a variety of surfaces and metals, such as: exhaust system components, brackets, valve covers, hinges, grills, suspension parts or any metal part that can withstand the 500 degrees F cure temperatures. Polishes to a high luster, stainless/chrome appearance that will not rust. Especially effective as a hard protective coating for aluminum parts.

 

The most advanced exhaust system coating available. It is a very durable ceramic reinforced coating available in a variety of colors. When properly applied it becomes the most effective thermal barrier coating available, increasing performance, while extending component life & has been tested to over 2000 degrees F without lifting, cracking or flaking.
Unlike header wraps, it does not hold potentially damaging heat & moisture around the part. Rather, the surface temperatures are actually reduced, extending the life of the part. When cured, a very effective corrosion inhibiting film is formed that protects the part against oxidation and imparts excellent chemical resistance that further extends part life and enhances appearance.

 

Ceramic stands above all other thermal barrier coatings currently being used in combustion chambers. Ceramic has characteristics shared by no other product, providing an unrivaled layer of thermal protection to piston tops, aluminum heads, stainless, iconel and titanium valves. Ceramic "moves" heat, reducing detonation and increasing the effective oxidation of fuel. When "polished", it provides a highly reflective surface that further aids in improved flame travel. Unlike previous ceramic coatings, ours is not subject to cracking and flaking, which can lead to extensive engine damage. In fact, Ceramic coatings actually strengthen the coated part. The cured "Cermet" provides a cap of material that can withstand far more heat. During testing, when sufficient heat was applied to a piston to melt the aluminum, the Ceramic did not melt, rather it held the softer aluminum together.

 

Thermal Barrier is an excellent heat barrier and is recommended for the bottom of intake manifolds & exhaust crossovers to reduce heat transfer. It may also be applied to windage trays, crank scrapers and crankshafts for oil shedding. In certain instances Thermal Barrier may be desirable on the inside of oil pans where good heat retention is desired, such as at drag races, where oil in the pan may become cold while waiting in staging lanes.

 

Thermal dispersants create a chemical and corrosion resistant film that increases the ability of a coated part to radiate heat. TDC provides for more even distribution of heat over the coated surface and moves it rapidly away. TDC is blended with lubricating agents which aid in keeping a coated part clean. Dirt and debris cannot get a good grip and become easier to clean off. The appearance of coated parts depends on the surface texture, the coating will show a semi gloss appearance on machined surfaces and a satin appearance on rough textures. Both finishes are very eye appealing.

 

Dry-Film Coating is a moly-based lubricant capable of providing lubrication at levels as high as 350,000 psi. The lubrication aids in preventing scuffing and galling, increasing part life. It also reduces friction, freeing more useable power. This lubricant provides extra protection by preventing damage from oil film failure. Dry-Film Coating is actually impregnated into the metal surface so no dimensional changes are realized. In addition to lubrication, Dry Film Lubricants also help distribute heat so less metal fatigue is caused reducing the chance of part failure.

 

HEADER TEMPERATURE TESTING DATA

Help stop this by using ceramics from Performance Coatings
IS THIS YOU?
WE CAN HELP!!!

Examine the following table and look at the amount of temperature drop that the coated header shows! Header wraps provide a similar drop in temperature but do not provide the internal corrosion resistance that our ceramic coatings provide. Exhaust gases are extremely corrosive and have a tendency to deteriorate headers from the inside out. By coating both internal as well as external surfaces, Peters Performance  not only reduces temperatures but also maximizes corrosion resistance.

It has been determined that engine efficiency improves by 1% for every 10° degree drop in under-hood temperature.

If we were to use the above data, we could reasonably assume that we would obtain a 50 horsepower increase on a 500 horsepower engine.


WHERE ELSE CAN I USE THESE COATINGS?

Our coatings are used as decorative finishes as well as functional coatings. If you are looking for that polished aluminum look on steel and other metal parts try using our Ceramic Coating.

PISTONS & PINS

Pistons prepped and ready to be ceramic coated by Performance Coatings

Ceramic coated pistons by Performance Coatings

 


Horsepower and increased life are achieved 3 ways:

First by impregnation of the skirts, pin bores and ring area with a dry film coating, reducing the effects of piston scuffing, piston rock and other friction induced problems.

Next, the piston dome is coated with a Ceramic thermal barrier to distribute heat evenly across the piston dome and increase combustion temperatures.
 

Finally, the underside of the piston is coated with a thermal barrier. This process evenly distributes heat in the chamber, thereby greatly diminishing or eliminating the chance of detonation, while reducing oil cling.

 

TRANSMISSION & DIFFERENTIAL

Dry Film impregnated parts by Performance CoatingsCermachrome coated rearend by Performance Coatings

A leading manufacturer of ring and pinion sets and transmissions conducted a test using parts coated with dry film lubricant. Temperature drops of up to 40 degrees and increased gear life were observed. Lower gear & oil temperatures will reduce backlash, shock loading and gear cracking.

 

BEARINGS

 

 

 

Impregnation with dry film lubricant (no dimensional change) provides substantially improved bearing life, while at the same time reducing friction. One of the obvious reasons for using a lubricating coating is to reduce friction, which improves wear, extends part life and frees up horsepower. normally lost to friction. A second major benefit is a reduction in part temperature.

 

INTAKE MANIFOLDS

Clear coated intake manifold by Performance Coatings

 

By applying thermal barrier to the bottom of the intake and any open crossovers, we reduce heat transfer from the oil galley. The exterior of the intake manifold gets a heat dispersant coating to aid in cooling. Intakes can also be Cermachromed™ for a show finish.

 

VALVES & SPRINGS

Dry Film impregnated valves by Performance Coatings

Dry film impregnation of valve stems/seats will greatly reduce stem and seat angle wear. Valve faces receive a coating of ceramic barrier to provide additional heat protection. Both coatings aid in shedding carbon, resulting in higher flow rates over the life of the engine. Valve springs usually fail because of heat related problems. Through the application of a heat dispersant, we can substantially increase spring durability while maintaining spring rates longer.

 

TURBOCHARGERS

Thermal barriers applied to a turbo provide more consistent boost by keeping the heat in the system. Impellers that are dry film impregnated see considerably improved life because the coating can withstand temperatures as high as 4500 degrees Fahrenheit.

 

OIL PUMPS

Dry Film impregnated oil pump surfaces reduce oil temps and increase oil flow

Oil pump gears, plates and passages coated with dry film lubricant will provide increased oil volumes. Additionally, less heat will be produced because of reduced friction.

 

CAM, LIFTERS & PUSHRODS

Dry Film impregnated valves by Performance Coatings

These parts typically do not have a pressure fed lubricating system. By coating with a dry film lubricant, wear will be significantly reduced resulting in more consistent valve timing.

 

OTHER ACCESSORIES

Many other accessories such as rear end housings, hood hinges & springs, shock towers, pulleys, brackets, oil pans, timing covers and many other parts can be coated with Peters Performance Ceramic Coating for the polished aluminum look or any of our other coatings for a durable and attractive finish.
