MOTORSPORT


 

Zircotec's performance coatings are used throughout motorsport from F1, Nascar and World Rally across a broad range of professional and enthusiast racing through to grass-routes motorsport. Our involvement with motorsport started with F1 and Le Man, and we have been a trusted supplier to teams in both of these series for more than a decade. Our current offerings to motorsport are:

 

Zircotec® Exhaust System Coatings

    

Our ThermoHold® based ceramic coatings have been developed to significantly reduce heat transfer, providing lightweight and easily packaged coatings to reduce heat loss from exhaust system components. Performance WhiteTM delivers the ultimate in thermal barrier performance. It has quickly become the mainstay of Zircotec's offering to motorsport, and is now used in a broad range of other automotive applications.

 

We recomend Performance WhiteTM for most motorsport applications, though we do have a range of other exhaust system coating types that may be applicable to some forms of motorsport. Click here for further details of our entire range of exhaust system coatings.

 

Performance WhiteTM

 

 

Coating an exhaust system, manifold or header can significantly improve engine performance (especially for turbo engines) as well as protecting under bonnet components and making pit stops faster, easier and safer. In the cabin, drivers are cooler so more able to concentrate and the need for airflow can be reduced.

 

Zircotec® Carbon Composite Coatings

    

We have developed a range of coatings that are plasma sprayed onto carbon composite (and some plastics) to provide protection from radiant heat or hot gas, offer fire resistance, and protect against delamination and resin melt. Additionally, we can apply a heat-reflective coating for extra protection against radiant heat, or we can apply coatings that are resistant to wear, abrasion and stone chips. Adopted widely in F1, and with patents pending, our technology is attracting significant interest from other forms of motorsport.
