Heat Containment Coatings
HC Coatings - keeping the heat where it's meant to be.
Heat containment is a perennial problem in the automotive industry.
The effects of heat on a wide variety of components is far reaching - it can cause damage and reduce performance. Lets look at some of the side effects of heat:
- Accelerates corrosion
- Damages composite body panels
- Reduces engine performance
- Reduces brake performance
- Accelerates oil degradation
- Thermostatic cut-out
Motorsport teams, particularly F1 teams, spend millions on containing heat within the intended areas of the vehicle so it does not effect other systems. Supercar manufacturers also battle with heat, particularly when space is at a premium and hot components are in close proximity to expensive and vulnerable carbon fibre.
How do HC Coatings work?
Our HC (Heat Containment) Coatings utilise ceramic technology to prevent heat radiating out of hot components. Ceramic materials do not conduct heat well, and therefore are ideal heat insulators, particularly as they are extremely heat resistant.
Our ceramic coatings prevent heat spilling out of manifolds and exhausts, maintaining the heat within those components, which ultimately protects the rest of your car or bike.
The application process is simple - we prepare the parts, which are then coated by one of our trained and certified technicians. The parts are then ready for use.
