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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ASTEC products can be prepared in a variety of colors. However, the colors will have a negative impact on the solar reflectivity of the coating. The following base colors are indicative of the drop in solar reflectivity: Base brown has a 12% reflectivity which increases to 16% when mixed in a 1 (part white) to 1 (part brown) ratio, 20% in a 4 (part white) to 1 (part brown), and 40% in a 16 to 1 ratio.

Clearweld coatings have a green tint before welding. When the process is optimized, the result will be a colorless weld. In order to achieve this goal the dispensing process must be optimized for your specific part design.

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.

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.

We offer standard mirror and reflective coatings employing metals and refractory oxides that can be deposited at substrate temperatures under 250 degrees F. One material we do not offer, at this time, is Magnesium Fluoride coatings due to the high temperature required.

Ceramic Tile for Sunrooms - My question relates to a sunroom application. I'm wondering if it's OK to consider porcelain tile flooring for our new sunroom addition, which will be built over an existing concrete patio, but I believe without a concrete slab floor. I think we'd be having the floor installed over plywood. We have tons of carpeting in the house and and tired of it; would love the look and feel of procelain tile in this scenario. Also considering electrically heated tile..

CERAM-KOTE epoxy coatings use modified epoxy resin as the binder for the ceramic powders. Epoxies are not known for their resistance to UV (Ultraviolet) light. Due to the molecular structure of epoxies, the UV light breaks down the molecular structure and causes "chalking" on the surface. This does not affect the performance of the coating in preventing corrosion for many years.
