Based on our core ThermoHold® formulation, Performance WhiteTM is only available from Zircotec. It is the mainstay of Zircotec's offering to motorsport, delivering the ultimate in thermal barrier performance, but it is also used across a broad range of other applications.

 

Our Performance WhiteTM coating offers the following benefits:

  • A robust fit-and-forget coating - It is in effect "welded" to the substrate using our proprietary metal bond system; eliminating the need for exhaust wrap; protecting components against corrosion; and continuing to perform and look good. 
  • Ultra high level of thermal performance - suitable for applications of up to 1,400oC (2,550oF);
  • Significantly lower exhaust temperatures - surface temperatures reduce by ~33%.
  • Reduced heat loss from the exhaust resulting in lower engine bay temperatures - reductions of >50oC are possible. More>
  • Highly efficient yet lightweight - only 0.3mm thick (0.012" thick) with minimal weight gain.

  • Protection for vulnerable components located close to the exhaust; avoiding heat damage, increasing component life, and allowing closer packaging of equipment inside the engine bay.

  • Improved engine performance and reliability. Lower air intake temperatures lead to increased engine power, whilst keeping the heat inside the exhaust gas allows the gases to flow more easily increasing cylinder scavenging, and allowing turbochargers to spool up more quickly.

  • Reduced heat soak through foot-wells, bulkheads, etc. so drivers are potentially cooler, more comfortable, and more able to concentrate.

  • Rapid cooling of the exhaust when the engine is turned off - the surface temperature of the coating drops quickly when the engine is off, making pit stops faster, easier and safer.

  • A three year product guarantee - this coating is covered by Zircotec's 3-year product guarantee. More>
