Characteristics and Performance

• Cosmetic Protection:
  • The chrome-free, aluminum silver color of Geomet® 360 integrates perfectly with the style of alloy wheels.
• Braking Behavior:
  • Enabling a temporary protection of brake disk surfaces, the low thickness of the coating does not damage the quality of braking during the vehicle first use.
• Temperature Resistance:
  • Geomet® 360 allows for excellent corrosion resistance on vehicles.
• Protection Inside the Vents:
  • No oxidation inside the fins translates to better thermal exchange while braking.
• For After-Market:
  • Geomet® 360 enables the assembly of brake disks on vehicles without pre-degreasing (dry protection).
• Stronger Corrosion Protection:
  • Geomet® 360 on the hub mounting surface makes brake disk dismounting easier.

Installed Capacity

• Over 30 applicators in the world.
• Over 40 million brake disks coated per year.
• Volkswagen Mexico:
  • Captive production of several million brake rotors.

Applications

• The process of applying Geomet® requires the substrate to be clean bare steel -- free of oil, heat-treat scale, rust and other contaminants.
  • Spray for specialized parts or large parts typically one half pound or larger.
• Parts are subjected to a five minute minimum pre-cure at 200°F to set the coating, followed by a higher temperature at 625°F for a complete cure.
