News from  = Camcoat =

October 2003.  Bike restorers - For that authentic original matt black look have your exhaust systems Camcoated in our BHK finish. Stephen Gordon of Peebleshire did just that for his Moto Guzzi Le Mans bike (pictured below) with extremely pleasing results.  Harley-Davidson owners - convert that chrome finish to the right shade of black by having your exhaust Camcoated. We can coat on top of the existing chrome..



August 2003. A 1300ºC test kiln has been installed to enable us to carry out very high temperature tests.

August 2003. Please note that we are closed for coating work for the week commencing Monday September 1st. Goods will be received and enquiries answered but the workshop will not be staffed. Also no problem with accepting orders and cheques. 

August 2003: Please look at our NEW PRICE LIST on the "Pistons" and "Engines" pages. We have introduced a discount for coating pistons. 10% for a quantity of 4 up to 15% for 8. Motorcycle/kart heads and barrels coating prices are down and there are SPECIAL DEALS for a complete car cylinder head assembly plus pistons to reduce the cost of obtaining that extra 5% power. Only £300 + VAT for a typical 4 cylinder 8 valve engine. For that price you get the full 3 coatings on the pistons, ceramics on the combustion chambers, valve faces and exhaust ports with lube coatings on the valve stems, springs and inlet ports. To give the head a pro-look you also get the black TLTD heat shedding coating on the outside surfaces.

August 2003. FED UP with colour changes on your exhaust pipes? Stainless steel turning golden and chrome turning blue. Keep that high polish finish with our Cermakrome finish. Nick Hare of Kent did after several attempts to keep the stainless system on his Honda CBX shiny bright. It is now after an internal coating of TLHB and Cermakrome on the outside as pictured below.



March 2003 - Busy, busy time meeting racers needs and tight timescales! We  manage but the first quarter of the year is a particular strain. Another very successful Autosport Engineering Show at the NEC bringing in new UK and export customers, including two potential European Distributors. The most noticeable change I noticed on the stand this year was the vastly increased awareness of the benefits of coating exhaust and engine parts and the new business gained by professional and personal referrals. Here are some typical written endorsements from our customers:
-  Greatly reduced heat in cockpit area of car with ceramic coating tubular exhaust manifolds (Kevin Law - Orchard Restorations Ltd.)
- Ceramic coating exhaust system inside and out improves appearance and heat insulation (Chris Fox - Fox Motorsport)
- Cermakromed headers cool down faster which means we can work on engine sooner without getting burnt. Finish has lasted 3 seasons so far. (Ray Hauser - Hauser Racing)
- Very satisfied with heat insulation and protection (Georg Plasa - Rennsporttechnik)
- Cermakrome exhaust gives improved looks and increased horsepowe (Chris Infazon - Moto-Boutique)
- We'll let you know when we strip the engine. Must be a good sign that we have not had to (Chris Conoley - Cambridge             Motorsport Ltd using TLML)
- Noticeable reduction in heat given off by the manifold (Chris Clarkson - Uphill Motor Company)
- Dyno results show more consistency in power readings ( Paul Klatkiewicz - Ducati Technical Services using coated engine parts)
Congratulations also to Ten Kate Honda on winning the 2002 World Supersport Championship using Camcoated radiators.
We used the Show to bring to market two new coatings developed by Camcoat from base Tech Line materials. 
Q-Coat is a ceramic basecoat thermal barrier for exhaust systems. Trials have shown very interesting results when used on cast exhaust manifolds.We have also used Tech Line's new CermaWhite on top to replicate the old F1 Ferrari exhaust colour with excellent results to date.
W-Coat is a combination of non-stick and thermal dispersant coatings that give wheels a fantastic finish and are very easy to keep clean - even the baked on brake pad dust and tyre rubber found on racecars.

 

 10th April. We at Camcoat are proud to add the MG-Lola and Ralliart Mitsubishi cars to our growing list of prestige exhaust coating applications.
* 20th December. A very happy Christmas and New Year to all our existing and potential customers.

* 20th December.  A new A4 sized brochure has been prepared for the Autosport Engineering Show at the NEC, Birmingham 
during January 10/11th 2002. Copies available from Camcoat on stand E75 or from our Warrington base.

* 19th July. Camcoat congratulate Team Green for their fantastic 5581 mpg at Rockingham Motor Speedway last month.



Camcoat supplied TLML dry film and WSX powder lubricant, TLLB oil shedding, TLTD thermal dispersant and CBC2 piston crown ceramic coatings to help improve the efficiency of this vehicle. 

* 29th November. Camcoat Performance Coatings have successfully expanded outside the motorsport market with the application of a very slippery release coating on food preparation equipment at Grain Health Foods Limited at their Wellingborough, England facility. A spokesman for Grain Health Foods, the UK division of the large Australian Sanitarium Health Food Company, said the coating had successfully overcome their problem of adhesion to the rolling mill feed funnels and scraper blades and had allowed them to ramp up to full scale production of their breakfast cereal biscuit. Further applications of this quick release coating are being pursued with other companies in the food preparation and general industrial markets. 

 * 26th July. The new vibratory polisher purchased in April has proven to be a resounding success as shown by the standard of the ceramic coating on the exhaust pictured below. In addition to a temperature capability of 760 degrees C the "Cermakrome" finish is extremely resistant to corrosion so has potential applications in a wide range of industries. Parts up to 1.5 m in length can be accomodated in the polisher.
