Experience unmatched protection and durability with Adelaide Ceramic Coatings. Our advanced ceramic coating solutions offer superior heat protection and environmental contaminants, keeping your vehicle protected.
High-temperature ceramic coating is often referred to as an exhaust coating, header coating, or high heat coating..
It does not use nanotechnology and is designed to bond to surfaces. Designers create high-temperature ceramic coatings to prevent corrosion on items susceptible to high heat. In fact, they can withstand constant exposure to temperatures up to1000+ degrees c.
When applied correctly, high-temperature coating will produce a hard finish that is resistant to chipping and rust – or corrosion. Ceramic coatings are microscopic in thickness, and likewise, make the protected surface resistant to similar items.
These types of ceramic coatings are also available in multiple colours, from flat black to bright red. You can opt for high-gloss or matte finishes, including satin metallic.
This list provides a simple outline that explains how the ceramic coating process can help your parts perform better and last longer all while maintaining a showroom finish.
Typically, a consumer will use a high-temperature ceramic coating on high performance, aftermarket parts or refurbish original items. It can be applied to aluminium, stainless steel, carbon steel, chrome, cast iron, brass, copper, some plastics and even wood.
It is also exceptional on pistons, headers, turbo intakes, housings, brackets, and exhaust manifolds, headers, and pipes.
Most car enthusiasts invest thousands in upgrading their fuel and exhaust systems for optimal performance. If they are smart, they will protect those investments with a high-temperature spray ceramic coating, simply due to the multiple advantages they produce.
Further reasons to ceramic coat your exhaust and fuel system components is to protect them from exposure to high heat, oxidants, corrosion, and rusting. Headers and exhaust system parts are specifically exposed to debris and contaminants from below the vehicle. This can include road grime, salts, and other chemicals, dirt, and debris and more.
For those living near oceans or saltwater lakes, the exhaust pipes (specifically those under the vehicle) can quickly become corroded, slowly rust, and eventually crack.
Applying a high-temperature ceramic coating protects your undercarriage exhaust parts from oil, gas and other chemicals that lead to the corrosion of metals. Some ceramic coating products can even help reduce damage from rocks, sand, dirt, and even tree branches.
You have probably been introduced to the term thermal cycling. If you have not, here is basically what happens. As parts get hot (like glowing red hot as they do inside a turbo’s housing), then rapidly cool – the metals go through a thermal cycle. Over time, this can cause the metals to become brittle, leading to damage like cracking, corrosion, and complete failure.
If you’ve chromed headers in the past, you have likely noticed the discoloration on bends. This is due to excessive heat focused on those twists and turns of metal, and chrome’s inability to handle extreme heats. Applying a high-temperature ceramic coating not only improves the heat absorption but also the appearance.
It reduces flaking, bluing, and discolouring that is associated with chrome, powder coatings, and other temperature-sensitive materials. Additionally, there are multiple colour and style options, including aluminium coatings.
When the exhaust system does not match the improvements made up top, you can lose performance. To counteract this – smart car owners upgrade their exhaust systems, from the manifold to the muffler. Applying a high-temperature ceramic coating can help improve the efficient flow of exhaust through your system, our engine to burn more fuel, and thus – making more horsepower.
A ceramic coating can increase the speed of the exhaust gas flow. Likewise, it can help reduce thermal tumbling, which happens when hot spots develop on bare metal (like those bends of tubing on exhaust pipes).
When the headers and the manifold are coated, heat is disbursed across the entire metal material. It can also eliminate backpressure, which improves the flow of exhaust and thus – increase in horsepower.
At Diesel Exhaust Systems we manufacture and fit a range of exhaust and air intake products. We are equipped to repair or modify any type of vehicle, from 4WD to a Kenworth.
