Polydyn rp piston skirt coating is a ceramic reinforced dry film lubricant with a low affinity for oil.
We have huge success using this in all types of applications.
It prevents the extremely hot combustion gases from soaking into the piston material during the explosion within the cylinder.
Cerakote v series piston coat is a dark bronze gold with a soft metallic look.
This keeps more heat and energy within the explosion itself.
Fortunately unlike some custom piston upgrades or options ceramic crown coat is appropriate for all kinds of applications.
For example an uncoated wiseco piston manufactured for a 4 000 inch bore should be installed in a 4 000 inch bore and an armor fit coated piston designed for a 4 000 inch bore should also go into a 4 000 inch bore.
Even before delivery some take their new car for applying ceramic coating.
The ceramic also spreads the heat evenly over the entire coated surface reducing detonation pre ignition and allowing the use of lower octane fuel.
It is an oven cure ceramic thin film thermal barrier coating designed to be applied on the top of pistons on the top of valves and the combustion chamber on a cylinder head.
The term ceramic coating is familiar to most car buyers today.
Coating the piston top with ceramics provides a fantastic thermal benefit.
Tbc protects against high temperature oxidation eliminates hot spots and encourages proper flame travel.
Tbc coated pistons run cooler and retain much more of their tensile strength.
If measured on top of the armorfit coating the piston to cylinder clearance is less than the uncoated bare piston.
Ceramic coating is a clear coat which includes a liquid.
