MOTORSPORT - CARBON COMPOSITE COATING

Thermal barrier coatings for carbon composites

We have developed a range of coatings that are plasma sprayed onto carbon composite (and some plastics) to:

  • Protect against radiant heat or hot gas, offer fire resistance, and protect carbon composite against delamination and resin melt - allowing these materials to be used in areas where they would otherwise be unsuitable (read more).

 

 

Our carbon composite coating is adopted widely in motorsport and is commonly used on:

  • body panels;
  • brake calipers & other brake components;
  • chassis parts;
  • diffusers;
  • exhaust ducts;
  • suspension components; heatshields.

Our coating is used on more than 70% of cars on the 2010 F1 grid. 

 

Anti-wear coating for carbon composites

A further derivative of our carbon composite coating technology is a product that provides physical protection for the surface of carbon composite components, helping to prevent damage from wear, abrasion, stone chips, etc.

 

The coating is particularly applicable to vulnerable front-end and under-car components.
