By ceramic coating the inside and outside surfaces the heat loss from the metal is drastically reduced resulting in much lower underbonnet temperatures. This improves engine performance and component durability as successfully demonstrated on several LMP2 Le Mans cars in 2006. Engine power is increased with our range of piston, head and valve train coatings which thermally insulate the combustion area, decrease frictional losses and manage heat transfer within critical components. Braking distances are reduced with our caliper and pad coatings and engine cooling improved with the TLTD thermal dispersant coating.

Does your track return slow lap times? No matter the tyre choice, wet skid resistance is fundamentally determined by grip; the condition and polished (or otherwise) state of the surface. No matter what the general appearance, surfaces are polished by excessive accelerating, braking and turning at speed. Cars scrub the surface particles until it is effectively like driving on marbles! In the dry – not usually a problem – but in the wet ….! Improve lap times, the spectacle and the excitement with better grip using the Klaruwtex190 (K190) Controlled Mechanical Retexturing treatment. Surface polish is easily removed, along with contaminants, under controlled conditions without affecting the general surface characteristics of the track. In fact, so consistent is the result, drivers will probably not realise that anything has been done! Improving (reducing) lap times is not usually synonymous with increasing safety – until now.
