What is zircotec coating?
Zircotec is a high temperature coating and heat barrier manufacturer, based in Abingdon near Oxford, England. It uses plasma-sprayed ceramic materials to provide thermal and abrasive resistance to components – with a focus on automotive exhaust systems.
Can ceramic coating be used on exhaust?
This coating is the perfect high performance, header, or exhaust system ceramic coating. This coating lowers the engine compartment temperatures helping prevent heat soak of parts and keep heat inside the exhaust pipe. This coating can be applied to almost any metal and on both new and used components.
How much heat can ceramic coating take?
High temp ceramic coating is a type of coating that can resist very high temperatures. In fact, ceramic can withstand temperatures of 3,800 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 Celcius). ITC 100 ceramic coating can withstand up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

What are the benefits of Zircotec ceramic coating?
Zircotec’s Ceramic Coating. We have developed a range of ultra-high performance plasma-sprayed ceramic coating to protect components from the effects of fire, heat, wear, abrasion and corrosion.
What can Zircotec do for the heat management industry?
Our technical specialists are able to provide advice on most thermal barrier, heat management and surface engineering issues. We apply this knowledge to a broad range of sectors including motorsport, general automotive, nuclear, aerospace and defence, providing both expert advice and specialist products to our customer base.
How long is the warranty for Zircotec exhaust coating?
The surface temperature of our exhaust coating drops quickly when the engine is off, making pit stops faster, easier and safer. This exhaust coating is covered by our standard 3 year product guarantee irrespective of whether we coat your system when it is new or used. (Reduced to a 1 year warranty for Motorsport applications.) ( read more ).
How are thermal barrier coatings applied to exhaust systems?
These thermal barrier coatings are applied via a plasma-spray application once your exhaust system has undergone our surface preparation process. Our proprietary ceramic based exhaust coatings can be applied equally well to new and used exhaust systems.
