Frequently Asked Questions

How flexible are ceramic coatings?

faq
Extremely. They are designed to expand and contract with high temperatures, so they do not flake or peel with expansion.

How long will ceramic coatings last?

faq
As long as the piece is properly cared for and kept below the coating's prescribed heat limit, indefinitely. The coatings will also extend the life of the part 3 to 5 times it's normal lifespan.

Do ceramic coatings increase performance?

faq
Definitely. Because hot air travels to cold air very quickly, a higher exhaust gas velocity and a smoother flow is achieved, and the cylinder is left cleaner for the next intake stroke, increasing engine performance.

What about Jet-Hot Ceramic Coatings?

The Exhaust FAQ
A lot of the K1200RS and R1100S riders have their headers, etc. coated and most have reported very positive results. I've seen their promotional video and considered it before selling my K12. I personally don't plan to coat my Dakar. Kind of like it as it. YMMV. RogerN#827 Supposedly "JetHot Coating" has all the benefits as well as EXTENDING the life of header pipes, and has the added benefit of trick colors.

What color of ceramic coatings do you offer?

Classic Coatings Inc - Metal Ceramic Coatings & Powder Coati...
We offer 4 stock colors. These are Polished CermaKrome, Black Satin, High Gloss Black and Cast Iron Gray. There are other colors available and prices can be quoted on white, blue and red.

Do ceramic coatings discolor like chrome?

faq
Chromex discolors only when a temperature of 1300 degrees is exceeded, at which point, the finish dulls, but does not turn purple or gold. Our satin coatings retain their color up to 2000 degrees.

Is your ceramic coating the same as other nationally advertised coatings?

Classic Coatings Inc - Metal Ceramic Coatings & Powder Coati...
Most ceramic coatings consist of the same base materials. The difference is HOW these materials are applied. At Classic Coatings, we have a long history of quality and maintain our certification in this area. We also have a warranty to stand behind our coatings.

Is Nansulate one of the ceramic coatings?

Nansulate Energy Saving Coatings - FAQ, Frequently Asked Que...
Many of the ceramic coating products obtain their insulating benefit from reflectivity off the white or light colored surface, making them more effective outdoors than inside, where there is no sun to reflect off of the coating, and by the use of small glass beads, or ceramic microspheres, which trap air. Nansulate's unique Hydro-NM-Oxide material creates a network of nano-sized, twisting tunnels, which the heat energy has to navigate.

Are Ceramic Thermal Barriers Coatings the same as powder coatings?

Finish Line Coatings - Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coatings Exha...
The only similarity is that they are both baked-on finishes. Powder coatings are baked at 425 degrees to melt the powder to a smooth finish. You must never get it that hot again, or it will burn off. Powder coating is basically very tough paint that is available in almost any color. Ceramic thermal barrier coatings were developed by NASA and the aerospace industry thirty years ago, for thermal insulation on rocket and jet engines.

What is the impact of color (tinting) relative to reflectivity on ProTek's CRICSsm Ceramic Coatings?

Frequently Asked Questions
ProTek's Standard Bright White Color is the most effective. Once the coatings are tinted, even when tinted in light earth tones or pastels, reflective properties are decreased. Generally, the darker the tint the less the reflective performance.

Top What makes ProTek's CRICSsm Ceramic Coatings different from similar products on the market?

Frequently Asked Questions
First, we have not just one or two ceramic coatings, but an entire line of Ceramic Coatings specifically formulated for varied applications such as walls, tanks, silos, busses, trucks and containers, any type of roof (including asphalt and torch-down) and various industrial/commercial applications. Second, we also have an entire line of complementary products such as primers, caulking and rust inhibiting coatings.

Why do I need Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coatings on my exhaust system?

Finish Line Coatings - Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coatings Exha...
Our coatings keep your manifolds, headers, exhaust pipes and mufflers from corroding or rusting. Coatings also retain heat within the exhaust system which give you a much cooler underhood temperature. A cooler intake charge means more horsepower. By retaining heat within the system, you create a scavenging effect which gives you more power. Our coatings can often also greatly extend the life of your parts.

Can we see the coatings?

Syntec Concrete FAQ's
Yes, our estimator will bring samples and pictures to your home, and we have referrals at your request.

I am not flexible. Can I still do Yoga?

UpDog Yoga - FAQ
Yes! You are a perfect candidate for yoga. Many people think that they need to be flexible to begin yoga, but that's a little bit like thinking that you need to be able to play tennis in order to take tennis lessons. Come as you are and you will find that yoga practice will help you become more flexible. This newfound agility will be balanced by strength, coordination, and enhanced cardiovascular health, as well as a sense of physical confidence and overall well-being.

What about "phase-coatings"?

Astronomy Binoculars - Frequently Asked Questions
There is another type of coating process used on some binoculars, called "phase-coating." Because of their design, roof prism binoculars actually split incoming light into two separate beams as it passes through their prisms. Unfortunately, after they are split, the two paths of light become "out of step" with each other. This in turn affects image quality. Phase coatings are applied to the roof prisms and are designed to re-merge the two paths of light for maximum performance.

What are lens coatings?

EyeCare Information on Eye Conditions
Chemical coatings on lenses can do a number of things: anti-reflective coatings increase the transmission of light through the lens; scratch-resistant coatings prevent scratches; mirror coatings reflect intense glare away from the eyes. All coatings increase the value and versatility of your sunglasses.

Are they flexible?

Hazard Safety : Cable Ramps FAQs
a. All the cable protection systems are manufactured in solid rubber and will take up the shape and camber of your roadway for extra safety.
