|
- Our performance coatings are used throughout motorsport from F1, Nascar & World Rally to more general sports cars
- The ultimate in thermal barrier performance providing heat management for numerous high-performance cars
- Highly attractive coatings that reduce underbonnet temper- atures, protect vulnerable components & limit heat-soak
- Combining performance with superb finishes, we have coatings that are ideal for both motorsport & road applications
- With our own highly optimised plasma-spray process, our products are unique and are only offered by Zircotec
- Zircotec coatings are available to OEM’s & after-market suppliers. We also sell direct to the public
- We are increasingly being asked to supply performance coatings for aerospace & defence applications
- We supply to numerous other industries spanning oil & gas, power generation, nuclear, materials handling and more
Zircotec's Ceramic Coating
We have developed a range of ultra high performance plasma-sprayed ceramic coatings to protect components from the effects of fire, heat, wear, abrasion and corrosion.
Our ceramic coating is highly effective when used on engine exhaust system components including exhaust manifolds, exhaust headers, cat boxes, turbochargers and tail pipes, helping to protect sensitive components from the effects of heat. As an exhaust coating they reduce underbonnet temperatures, increase engine performance, help solve engine packaging issues, and improve engine compartment safety. Based on our proprietary ThermoHold® formulation, our ceramic coating range can only be applied by Zircotec. A series of patent applications are in progress (with two now granted) to protect our technology. Our coatings have been proven to:
- Reduce underbonnet temperatures by up to 50oC (122oF), as independently measured & confirmed by DAMAX Race Engineering;
- Increase engine performance, eg. a 30oC drop in intake air temperature can deliver a 6% increase in power, or can increase engine efficiency leading to less fuel usage;
- Extend the life of vulnerable components and thereby enhance engine reliability.
Our Expertise
We are specialists in the management of heat. We are also experts in plasma-spray processing and the production of high performance surface coatings and finishes. Our technical specialists are able to provide advice on most thermal barrier, heat management and surface engineering issues.
We apply this knowledge to a broad range of sectors including motorsport, general automotive, nuclear, aerospace and defence. In the case of motorsport we provide both expert advice and specialist products to many of the top teams. We provide:
- plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings; exhaust coatings; exhaust manifold coatings; inlet manifold coatings; engine coatings; turbo charger housing coatings; exhaust header coatings & heat shield materials;
-
wear
resistant, anti-corrosion and aesthetic coatings, finished in either ceramic
or metal;
- ceramic coatings and
metal coatings for carbon composites and some plastics, providing an heat
and fire resistance, and also protection against abrasion and wear; and,
- specialist plasma-sprayed ceramic products.
