THERMAL BARRIERS COATINGS
Thermal Barrier Coatings are designed to reduce the movement of heat. In some instances, such as exhaust systems, you want to keep the heat within the part. In combustion chambers you want to use the heat generated by combustion to push down on the piston rather than bleed off into surrounding surfaces.
Due to continued testing we are learning that simple thermal barrier action is not the only characteristic that is important. In fact certain Thermal Barrier Coatings will move an engine into detonation. These coatings can be made from a variety of materials. Ceramics get the most attention, though there are other materials that are superior in specific applications. The proper choice is critical to the overall function of the coating.
It can be applied to any metal that can handle the cure temperature (650f) ,except magnesium.
The highly polished surface provides an aesthetically pleasingas well as top performing coating.
HPC1 is a water based cermet (ceramic-metallic) coating that provides a hard, durable thermal barrier surface to materials that can withstand the 175o C oven curing temperature.
These include carbon fibres, plastics and all usual metals except magnesium.
The highly polished surface also has thermal reflective properties.
HPC2 is a harder version of HPC1 designed for performance engines running Nitrous Oxide, Supercherged or Turbocharged. It creates a hard surface specifically designed for engines running high volumes of fuel and/or high compresion ratio (over 13) Thermal Barrier Coatings are designed to reduce the movement of heat.

HPC3 is an advanced high temperature thin layer thermal insulation coating. Designed to maintainadhesion at temperatures above the normal operating range of an exhaust system.Depending on the risin system coating designed for exhaust systems, can handle base metal temeratures in excess of 1100C Color change can be expected at lower temperatures with some of the coatings. A color change does not necessarily reflect a failure of the coating, as color stability is secondary to the protective function. Several colors have maintained color stability, to base metal temperatures in excess 700C. .The use of multiple coats including HPCR can raise the color stability of all exhaust system coatings. is an advanced high temperature thin layer thermal insulation coating.

HPCR cermakrome is a metallic ceramic coating capable ofproviding extremely high levels of corrosion and chemical protection in very thin films. When applied to exhaust systems HPCR will withstand substrate temperatures of over 1300f.
In addition direct flame will not cause delamination, as long as substrate temperatures do not exceed this temperature. MCX will handle environmental temperatures of up to 1600f. Due toits unique ceramic nature, the coating also functions as a very effective thermal barrier, with reduced thermal radiation characteristics.
