Zircotec Secures OEM Orders for Motorcycle Exhaust Coatings
ABINGTON, UK – Plasma-spray specialist Zircotec has secured two additional key orders for its Endurance Range ceramic coating developed for motorcycles. Applied using Zircotec’s proprietary process, the improved durability and aesthetic attributes have led to two orders of over 2,000 units, highlighting the increases in capacity the firm has achieved in the past 18 months.
“Motorcycle manufacturers have come to Zircotec seeking contemporary exhaust finishes that will last,” said Sales Director Peter Whyman. “Enquiries from the sector are up threefold in the past year. Chrome can look dated and quickly tarnishes whilst paint can’t withstand the heat cycling experienced on exhausts. Our ceramic exhaust coating not only passes stringent OEM durability tests, but we can offer a range of different colors and textures that complement today’s styling trends. With surface temperature reductions of close to 25 percent and an extremely robust finish, our heat-resistant coating has added appeal for motorcycle applications.”
