CAMCOAT – APPLICATION GUIDE FOR TECH-LINE PROFESSIONAL COATINGS

EXHAUST SYSTEM COATINGS

BLACK SATIN	Group 1	Advanced ceramic reinforced coating, which withstands 1,000^oC. Reduces manifold surface and under-bonnet temperatures. Solvent-based requiring 400^oC for full chemical curing.
CERMAKROME	Group 2	Metallic ceramic, which withstands 760^oC. Best corrosion protection of any exhaust coating. Water-based requiring 260^oC for one-hour oven curing temperature cycle.
COLORGUARD	Group 3	Original range of coloured coatings.
BASE/TOPCOAT	Groups 4	New series of water-based glossy coloured coatings applied on top of ceramic base (MCS).
MCS	Undercoat	Water-based insulating coating withstands 1,000^oC. Can be sprayed, flowed or brushed. “Undercoat” for coloured topcoats.
TLHB	Internal	High heat modified polymer coating. Smooth finish obtained by spraying, flowing or brushing. Used inside exhaust manifolds and exhaust ports.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ENGINE COATINGS (* Require oven curing at 150^oC)

TLML	*	Extreme pressure bonded dry film lubricant capable of withstanding 350,000 psi. Solvent-based, can be sprayed in very thin films. Reduces friction, galling, scuffing and aids in cooling parts.
TLML2	*	Similar to TLML but has a softer finish for easy burnishing.
TLMB	*	High load modified polymer designed to build up piston skirt diameters. Topcoat with TLML, TLML2 or WSX.
WSX		Tungsten disulfide powder lubricant. Extreme temperature lubricant withstands load to 350,000 psi. Simply buff onto surface requiring lubrication.
TLCL	*	Clear, slick, non-visible coating.
TLTD	*	Thermal dispersant coating designed to expedite heat loss from cooling surfaces. Chemical/corrosion resistant, cosmetically appealing finish.
TLLB	*	Oil shedding, thermal barrier with non-stick characteristics.
CBC2	(175)	Water-based cermet coating thermal barrier for all metals. Polishes to highly reflective finish. Very tough surface.

SPECIALITY COATINGS

CLR	*	Clear coating for chemical and corrosion protection.
CMS		Fast-drying, protective coating.
BURNOUT		Insulating blanket to protect all combustible surfaces.
QUICK		Speed coating for boat hulls, skis etc.

Notes:

• WSX may be burnished onto any surface coated with TLML. Buff WSX after reducing any build-up of TLML.
• All parts that have been coated with TLML need to be burnished with ScotchBriteâ or fine steel wool after assembly. Do not assemble “tight”.
• See relevant application instruction sheets.
• Use Tech-Lineâ assembly lubricants and gels for extra protection.
