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.

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.

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.

A thermal barrier is a covering on the surface of the spray polyurethane foam insulation which will protect it for at least 15 minutes in the event of a fire. ?-inch gypsum wall board, such as Sheetrock?, is an approved 15 minute thermal barrier. Building codes require the installation of a thermal barrier between foam plastics (such as spray polyurethane foam) and any occupied space. Exceptions apply in some cases; review local codes and/or confer with your local building code officials.

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.

Ceramic coating offers both thermal insulation to keep the heat of the exhaust inside the pipe and also corrosion resistance. Keeping the heat inside the pipe reduces under hood temepratures and keeps exhaust gas velocity high, both of which enhance the engine's ability to produce more power. Corrosion resistance protects the product from rust and makes it last longer. For headers and down pipes, we recommend the ceramic coating to protect your valuable investment and protect it from corrosion.

Ans: Packages are pre measured for 1 Gal, 2 Gal and 5 Gallons of paint. Money saving bulk packaging is available also. You can figure on an average coverage rate of 250-300 sq. ft. per gallon for most house paints on smooth surfaces.

Replacement of your moisture barrier is required . During the tear-off process your old barrier usually gets torn and oftentimes your old barrier was not installed correctly. We can not warranty your job without replacing your moisture barrier. A new moisture barrier is critical to a good siding job.

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.

That depends on how dirty your tap water is. The dirtier it is, the more often you will need to clean the ceramic filter. Most people need to clean it once every 3 to 4 weeks. Just lift off the top of the Hexagon and check once in a while. You will be able to tell by looking at the filter (the housing is clear) whether it needs cleaning or not. It is white when it is clean and dark yellow or brown when it is dirty.

No, as long as the panel joints and connections are protected against moisture exfiltration as detailed in Thermapan's installation manual, a vapour barrier is not needed.

Your exhaust system is comprised of two main elements: a chimney and a connector (commonly called ?stove pipe?). There are two types of chimneys: a Class A metal chimney or a masonry chimney (Those terms are use in Canada and the USA. Terminology may differ in other countries). Class A chimneys are rated to withstand temperatures up to 2100oF and are easy to install. The connector is made of steel and needs a minimum thickness of 24ga.

Radiant Barrier is a material that is a poor re-transmitter of infrared waves (radiant energy). By definition, this re-transmission characteristic (emissivity) must be at or below 10%. The emissivity of Reflectix? products is approximately 3%. Therefore, when a Radiant Barrier is installed in a residential attic, it "blocks" 90% + of the radiant energy that is being radiated by the hot roofing materials.
