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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, our estimator will bring samples and pictures to your home, and we have referrals at your request.

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.

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.

Nansulate is fairly transparent on all surfaces except for glass, which it will give a cloudy look. Below are photos of Nansulate HomeProtect Clear Coat coating ½ a tissue box. You can click to see larger pictures in normal light and bright light. You can also see photos of applications on non-metal surfaces and metal surfaces by clicking the links.

For wallpapering over Nansulate: This has been done successfully by homeowners, however we always suggest to first allow Nansulate to fully cure (30-60 days) and then to test your wallpaper for adhesion to a small section first. Different types of wallpapers use different types of adhesives, so testing is highly recommended prior to a full application. Can the product be painted over a stucco surface. Stucco has a tendency of showing tiny cracks at times.

Lens coatings are particularly important in sunglasses because of the protection they provide for your eyes and lenses. Quality lens coatings greatly improve the performance and protection of your lenses.

Perma Ceram is a patented process and is not, an Epoxy, Urethane,Paint, etc., nor does it contain Toluene Disocyanate (TDI).
