Frequently Asked Questions

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.

What is ceramic coating?

Pacemaker Headers Australia - Quality Performance Exhaust He...
Ceramic coating is a thermal skin applied internally and externally to the header. This skin or coat, apart from other properties, consists of ceramic and aluminium. This combination provides very high thermal resistance and is an ideal coating for headers, pistons and other high temperature components. A by-product of ceramic coating is its high lustre or finish, and should increase the life of the product. We at Pacemaker recommend the use of ceramic coated finishes on all of our products.

How thick is the ceramic coating?

Classic Coatings Inc - Metal Ceramic Coatings & Powder Coati...
The coating runs between 2 and 4 mils thick. If there are threaded holes on the part, you may have to re-tap them prior to installing the part. This will insure a proper fit of the threaded fastener. If the threaded area is critical, then notify us when the parts are delivered so we can mask off these areas to protect them from the ceramic coating.

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.

What's the difference between ceramic coating and powder coating?

faq
They are many differences, but the biggest is that ceramics are designed to reduce radiated heat as well as prevent corrosion.

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 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 are the surface coatings? Which coating should I choose?

Bicon Dental Implants | Technique FAQ
All implants are made from surgical grade titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V). Since 1985, every implant has been grit blasted and passivated in a nitric acid solution. Implants are available in titanium oxide (uncoated), titanium plasma sprayed (TPS), and hydroxylapatite (HA). The choice of coating is a matter of personal preference as all coatings are successfully used by clinicians around the world.

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.

Why are the Clearweld coatings solvent-based? Can the coating be water-based?

FAQs About Laser Welding Plastics - Clearweld
The absorbing material that enables welding readily dissolves in solvents. The material does not dissolve in water. Solutions allow a more even coating, and therefore a more consistent level of laser absorption.

How is the event advertised?

The 48 Hour Film Project: Frequently Asked Questions
The event is advertised by word of mouth, through the Internet and in local press. Local filmmakers and organizations are our most vocal supporters and do a great job spreading the word. In each city, the 48 Hour Film Project has generated considerable interest from local and national media. From CNN to the Washington Post and LA Times—we've had more coverage in more than 50 media outlets to date.

How thin or thick of a coating should I apply?

Untitled Page
Use an ample amount to completely cover the cold sore and the area around the cold sore for best results. Per package directions, rub in gently, but completely.
