Tech Line Coatings ColorGard HHC Clear Top Coat

Tech Line Coatings ColorGard HHC Clear Top Coat is a ceramic coating designed to be applied primarily as a top coat over exhaust systems coatings to increase the gloss and corrosion resistance. When applied to exhaust systems HHC will withstand base metal temperatures of over 1300°F, while maintaining color stability. HHC will handle environmental temperatures up to 1600°F. Due to its unique ceramic nature, the coating also functions as a very effective thermal barrier, with reduced thermal radiation characteristics. HHC full cures at 700°F for one hour at temperature. The coating cures to a very hard, durable surface with excellent adhesion
