Glossary of Power Coatings
TBC™ – Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating for internal engine use. About .002” thick.
Gold Coat™ – This Ceramic Thermal Barrier designed specifically for pistons in extreme environments such as nitrous, turbo, and superchargers. About .003” thick.
White Lightning (TBC-EX) – This thermal barrier is primarily used on the outside of exhaust parts. White Lightning is a true thermal barrier not an appearance improving coating. It is common to see mar or scratch marks in normal shipping and handling. The coating can discolor when in use. It is possible to see bead or spike like formations appear on the surface of the coating. There are even times it is possible to see a fracture which could lead to peeling. In almost every situation where the base metal expands enough to reveal a fracture in the coating it tends to be the outermost layer of coating with several thousandths of good insulating material remaining. If the performance of the exhaust coating is the primary purpose of the coating White Lightning is good to consider. When the appearance is important White Lightning is not a good choice.
PC-9™ – Extremely durable lubricating coating for piston skirts, gears and other parts. About .0008” thick when applied to piston skirts. Can be used to tighten clearance by adding up to .004” on some piston skirts.
Poly Moly™ – Lubricating coating for low rpm motors such as diesel piston skirts. About .0008” thick when applied to skirts.
Peko Poly Moly™ (PPM) – High load, thin, low friction coating.
BBE™ – Heat radiating coating to dissipate heat.
Flow Coat™ – Non-wetable, low friction coating.
