CermaKrome (MCX) is a metallic ceramic coating capable of providing extremely high levels of corrosion and chemical protection in a very thin film while producing a very high luster, near chrome appearance. When applied to exhaust systems, MCX will withstand substrate temperatures of over 1300°F and environmental temperatures of up to 1600°F (higher temperatures with a base coat or double coating). In addition, the direct flame will not cause delamination as long as substrate temperatures do not exceed this temperature. Due to its unique ceramic nature, the coating also functions as a very effective thermal barrier, with reduced thermal radiation characteristics. Requires a 500°F cure, with maximum hardness achieved with a 650°F cure. After curing, the coating requires “burnishing” to be sealed. This burnishing process can produce a very high luster, near chrome, appearance. MCX cures out to a very hard surface with excellent adhesion. The water-based solvent system provides for an environmentally friendly material with a bake/cure cycle that is not as hazardous as other thermally cured resin systems.

Ciloxide is a family of ceramic coatings capable of providing extremely high levels of thermal protection in very thin films. It is designed to be applied primarily to exhaust system components and other parts subject to high temperature and movement/flexing. When properly applied, Ciloxide will withstand substrate temperatures of over 2000°F. In addition, the direct flame will not cause delamination as long as substrate temperatures do not exceed 2000°F. Ciloxide will handle environmental temperatures of up to 2000°F. Due to its unique ceramic nature, it also functions as a very effective thermal barrier with reduced thermal radiation characteristics. Ciloxide dries to the touch after approximately one hour and partially cures at 400°F for one hour with the use of Activator (ACT). The coating cures to a very hard surface with excellent adhesion, lubrication, and release properties.

MCS is a ceramic reinforced coating capable of providing extremely high levels of insulation and chemical protection in very thin films. Designed to be used as a base coat for CermaKrome (MCX) and other Tech Line coatings. It is to be used either as a base coat on the outside diameter or as a standalone coating on the inside diameter. MCS as a base coat allows CermaKrome to be used in applications where normal metallic ceramic coatings will not maintain adhesion. In independent testing, CermaKrome applied over MCS, maintained adhesion with exhaust temperatures over 1800°F with no significant dulling of the highly polished surface. When applied to exhaust systems, MCS is capable of withstanding substrate temperatures of over 1800°F (EGT’s of over 2000°F), in addition, the direct flame will not cause delamination as long as substrate temperatures do not exceed this temperature. Due to its unique ceramic nature, the coating functions as a very effective thermal barrier, with reduced thermal radiation characteristics. MCS does not have good corrosion resistance and should not be used as a standalone outside diameter coating.

• Primarily used as an insulating coating.
  • Extreme temperature capable (over 2000°F).
  • Survives cyclic heating and cooling.
  • Improves exhaust gas velocity, which can lead to an increase in horsepower.
• May be used as a base coat for other Tech Line coatings to increase the temperature that the top coating can withstand.
  • Requires etching prior to top coating.
  • Increases the temperature that CermaKrome (MCX) can experience, without dulling.
• Water-based, easy cleanup, no VOCs.
  • A water-based solvent system provides for an environmentally friendly material with a bake/cure cycle that is not as hazardous as other thermally cured resin systems.
  • Requires oven curing at 500°F for one hour. Maximum hardness achieved with a 650°F cure.
  • Cures out to a very hard surface with excellent adhesion.

HHBK is a metallic ceramic coating capable of providing extremely high levels of thermal protection in very thin films. When applied to exhaust systems HHBK will withstand substrate temperatures of over 2000°F. Additionally, direct flame will not cause delamination as long as substrate temperatures do not exceed this temperature. Due to its unique ceramic nature, the coating also functions as a very effective thermal barrier, with reduced thermal radiation characteristics.
