History

• Originally, the coating was invented for the
  steel industry. The reason for this was the
  molten metal being produced was causing the metal
  machinery to melt. Therefore Ceramic Coating was
  invented.

3
Process

• The part is thoroughly cleaned
• Then the part is blasted inside and out
• The part is sprayed with the coating
• coating is made of zirconium oxide, alkali
  silicate water
• Next it is baked at 500 Degrees
• Finally it is polished

4
Applications

• Space
• Marine
• Automotive
• High temperature enviroment
• Can even be used on old parts

5
Benefits

• Extends the life of the part
• Withstand high temperature
• Can be polished to resemble Chrome plating or
  high polished aluminum
• Increase power and fuel economy
