The Benefits

Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC's)

These are designed to reduce the movement of heat. In some instances, such as exhaust systems, you want to keep the heat withing the part.

Thermal Dispersant's

Being able to move and control heat is of tremendous importance. Excessive temperature can lead to metal fatigue, boiling fluids, damaging metal expansion, reduced electrical efficiency and a host of other problems.

Dry Film Lubricants

Also known as solid film lubricants they provide a lubricating film that reduces friction, inhibits galling and seizing and in some instances can aid in dispersing heat. The appearance is generally a charcoal gray and takes on a sheen upon burnishing. They are slippery and provide an extremely low coefficient of friction.

Corrosion and Chemical Inhibiting Coatings

The loss of effectiveness, reduction in part life and deteriorating appearance due to corrosion and chemical damage is of real concern. Losing a well matched/tuned header to rust is not only expensive, but frustrating. A good aluminum manifold can become junk if the water inlet area corrodes excessively. Keeping components clean and attractive is of concern when promoting your vehicle or the parts you manufacture to potential sponsors or customers. Rocket Cermacoat offers a variety of protective coatings that also enhance the appearance of a part. Many of these coatings will have additional benefits such as Thermal Barrier or Thermal Dispersant's capabilities.
