- Product Highights
- Flexible - Our coating can stretch over and over again without cracking or breaking.
- Thin - Typically, between 2 to 3 microns. That’s hair-on-a-flea thin.
- Slick - Friction is tough on high-performance, fast-moving engine parts. Hard carbon offers a coating that can handle the heat.
- Good Under Pressure - The hotter our coating gets, the better it performs, turning to graphite (a natural lubricant) as it breaks down.
- Advantages
