Our Coating is Thin but Tough-As-Nails!

Flexible – Our coating can repeatedly stretch without cracking or breaking.

Thin – Typically between 2-3 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.
