There are many applications for our line of coatings.

Bearings

In close tolerance applications like bearing, our Dry Film Lubricant is superior. Applied as thin as .0003” it will burnish when running to a near 0” dimension, and still maintain its full lubricating characteristics. This will let the bearing run in its factory clearance. This coating is capable of withstanding pressure in excess of 350,000 PSI while lubricating, which is beyond the strength of the bearing itself. The coating will reduce friction and extend the life of the bearing.

Crankshafts

The application of our coating to a crankshaft will increase the lubrication, reduce friction and add a protective layer. When applied to the journals it will help keep the oil in place at higher pressures. When the pressure increases the oil will move away from the point of contact causing friction and heat, the Dry Film Lubricant will help prevent that. Depending on the use of the engine the counter weights can also be coated, with either a thermal dispersant for cooling the crank more effectively, or a thermal barrier for short run drag engines to maintain the heat. Both coating have excellent oil shedding abilities.

Cylinder Heads

Keeping the heat energy from absorbing in the areas around the combustion chamber can increase performance significantly by saving that energy for the power stroke of the piston. With the cylinder head & piston done with our Thermal Barrier the heat will stay in the cylinder, provide protection against detonation, and radiate the heat evenly avoiding hot spots.

The port can also be coated to help with flow and reduce heat. Coating the intake runner with our Dry Film can reduce fuel drop out and insulate the incoming fuel from the head. Coating the exhaust runner with our thermal barrier can improve flow by smoothing the surface and insulating the runner so the exhaust heat doesn’t absorb into the rest of the head.
Coating the exterior of the head with our Thermal Dispersant will suck out the heat that does get absorbed into the head, allowing it and anything attached to it (intake manifold) to run cooler.

Rocker Arms

The fulcrum area of the rocker sees the most movement and when the friction increases this area will be the hardest hit. Our Dry Film Lubricant in the fulcrum, contact area and push rod cup area of the rocker can greatly reduce friction, improving longevity, increase horsepower, and retain lubrication under conditions that is beyond the capabilities of engine oil.

Valves

On both intake and exhaust valves we coat the stem and the back of the valve with our Dry Film Lubricant. This helps the stem lubricate and reduce friction; it also prevents carbon build up on the back surface, which can lead to intake turbulence. On the bottom face of the valves we apply our Thermal Barrier to keep the heat in the combustion and out of the head. On the exhaust valves these coating are extremely beneficial, keeping the stems lubricated at high temperatures saving the valves and guides from wear.

Valve Springs

Springs develop friction from rubbing against head/shim and retainer. This creates heat which weakens the spring. Our Dry Film Lubricant will reduce friction from external rubbing, and evenly dissipate the heat, avoiding hot spots. This coating will improve spring longevity, enhance cooling of the spring, and it can dramatically increase performance by reducing wear.

Camshafts

Our Dry Film Lubricant is ideal for camshafts. The Dry Film does not break down like oil, it will maintain a lubricious film between mating surfaces inhibiting metal-to-metal contact. This will provide less wear, reduced friction & heat, a gain in power, and extend part life. This coating will also help keep the cam lubricated on start up where lack of oil can cause excessive wear.

Intake Manifolds

The intake manifold absorbs heat from the engine, and an increase in intake temperature = a decrease in horsepower. Therefore the more of a barrier that is put up between the engine and the intake manifold, the better. This is where our Thermal Barrier will come into play. Coating the under side of manifold, the flange area, also the area where the carburetor or throttle body mount, will reduce the amount of heat transfer, keeping the manifold cooler. Keeping the intake cooler allows the engine to produce more horsepower. For the exposed surfaces, our Thermal Dispersant could be applied for even further cooling of the manifold. For the cosmetic side in place of our Dispersant, our High Polish coating can be used. Using this coating on the top and under sided of the manifold will provide a thermal barrier and keep heat from entering via the cylinder head, but won’t disperse the heat out the top side. It evens itself out, by giving you the look you want without the damaging problems caused by retaining heat.

Oil Pan

Our Thermal Dispersant can be coated internally and externally on the oil pan. Inside it will shed the oil from the surfaces so it can return to the oil pump pickup much quicker and will cool the oil as it runs over the surface. Unlike paint or chroming, the Thermal Dispersant will pull heat out of the oil pan to help cool the oil. It also has excellent corrosion inhibiting characteristics and will reduce the ability of dirt and debris from accumulating on the surface.
For engines used in short runs like drag racing, where you want to maintain the temperature of the oil, our Lubricated Thermal Barrier would be used. It has the same oil shedding characteristics as the Dispersant but will retain the heat to help keep the oil at running temperature.

Brakes

Brake CoatingBraking system generate an intense amount of heat, especially in competition or heavy duty. These high temperatures can cause the brake fluid to over heat causing a spongy pedal decreasing your braking distance. It can also lead to brake pad failure and cause the rotor to warp.
The non-contact part of the rotor can be coated with our Thermal Dispersant, pulling heat out of the rotor and evenly dispersing it.The back of the pads can also be coated with our Thermal Barrier. This will prevent the heat that is generated from the friction of the pad/rotor from entering the calliper.
Coating the inside curve of the calliper with our Thermal Barrier will prevent the radiant heat off the rotor/pads from absorbing into it. While on the outside curve of the calliper, our Thermal Dispersant will pull any heat that does get into it, out. To further prevent the brake fluid from over heating, the brake piston can be coated as well with our Thermal Barrier. All of these combined will result in a dramatic decrease in heat that is produced from the braking system.

Wheels

The wheels are directly connected to the braking system, and will absorb a great deal of heat from it.
To take advantage of the heat sinking abilities of the wheel we would use a couple different applications.
Coating the inside bell (brake side) of the wheel with our Thermal Barrier will prevent the heat generated from the brakes from absorbing into the rim of the wheel. A Thermal Barrier can also be applied to the inside rim. This part of the wheel will have contact with the air inside the tire, thus keeping the air temperature down.
The outside bell (visible exterior) can be coated with our Thermal Dispersant. This will pull heat out of the brakes and dissipate it into the air stream faster. This will allow the brakes and wheel to run cooler, and help keep tire temperatures down.

Gears

Both rear-end and transmission gears will benefit from an application of our Dry Film Lubricant. The Dry Film is able to lubricate at pressures up to 350,000 PSI. This will really benefit Ring and Pinion gears in the rear-end, because they only receive minimal lubrication and cooling. In the transmission it will help gears shift smoother and the reduction of friction in the drivetrain will transfer more potential power to the wheels.
