More results on Anealon. The following was received from our Tech Line Applicator, M.A.C.H. in Phoenix, AZ in regard to a race application utilizing Anealon on the Ring and Pinion. 

The car is a 1960 Ginetta G4 with a 1600 Lotus Ford twin cam engine that runs in the vintage road race series. 

During practice laps at Elkhart Lake last year the rear end locked up. They discovered that they had lost the rear end oil but the ring and pinion had not welded together. The bearings had expanded and the car started to slow. The rear end was so hot that you could not touch it, all the rubber hoses were melted to the rear end and the brass vent plug actually came loose and had to be reinstalled. The damage was caused by hitting a high spot on the track and damaged the drive shaft and seal. The customer was shocked that the ring and pinion showed NO damage. They replaced the shaft but were not aware the seal was damaged. They had no extra parts that could be used other than bearings, which they replaced, so they put the same ring and pinion back in. The next day they won their qualifying race.

They then won the next race at the Big Bore Bash at the Coronado Speed festival with the same ring and pinion.

Here is an email that I just got from a very satisfied customer:

As you know D.I.S. does coatings and custom fabrication for the marine and automotive performance market in Trinidad & Tobago.

Sometime last year we were asked to fabricate a new water box for a yacht, the one onboard made from 316L Stainless Steel was leaking and needed replacing.

I jumped at the opportunity to use one of our coatings. I suggested to the customer that  instead of 316L Stainless Steel, I build the water box from Mild Steel and coat it with TLTD. I told him that I could make and coat the unit for half the price of  the S/Steel one and it would not only last as long but would lower his engine room temperature. I even went as far as to give him a five year guarantee that should the box rust out I would build him another.

Anyone around the marine industry knows that Mild Steel, heat and salt water are normally a bad mix and it does not take very long for M/S to degrade into scale and flake under those conditions

The following is his email to me:

Hi Robert,

I want to give you feedback on the thermal coating for my exhaust box. At first, I was very skeptical but after five months of navigation and lots of engine time I am really impressed with this coating. As you said, it did not develop a single rust spot and the whole exhaust box was cool even when running the engine. This is very beneficial as it did not raise the engine room temperature but on the contrary it actually lowered the temperature. 

Again many thanks for a job well done. You have a very efficient product and feel free to use this e-mail for a future reference from a very delighted customer.
