Airborn Coatings - Jet Coat Header Coating- the best Jet Hot Coating available
Aluminum Ceramic Coating
Aluminum Ceramic Coatings have been formulated to meet the needs of high temperature corrosion and oxidation protection of metallic substrates.
This AirBorn Coating also provides sacrificial corrosion protection against over 1,000 hours of salt spray exposure. The coating provides galvanic protection by acting as a sacrificial anode relative to the substrate. The aluminum-ceramic matrix provides continuous protection up to 1,200 ° F (650 ° C) and will endure intermittent exposure to 1,500 ° F (815 ° C).
THE BENEFITS OF ALUMINUM CERAMIC COATINGS
Aluminum Coatings Provide:
CORROSION RESISTANCE
RAPID COOL DOWN
WON'T BLUE OR STAIN
HIGH LUSTER, POLISHED FINISH
LIFETIME GUARANTEE AGAINST RUST AND CORROSION
Ceramic Coatings Provide:
THERMAL BARRIER PROPERTIES REDUCE RADIANT TEMPERATURE
HIGH ABRASION RESISTANCE
INCREASED GAS VELOCITIES
REDUCED UNDER HOOD TEMPERATURES
HORSEPOWER GAINS AVERAGING 2%
ALUMINUM-CERAMIC EXHAUST COATINGS... ABLE TO TAKE THE HEAT OF THE COMPETITION
Airborn Coatings has become a leader in
serving the racing industry. With three state of the art facilities that provide the highest
quality of surface treatments and finishes. Airborn Coating's name has
grown fast with its influence on the racing industry and their logo can now be

with Powder
The popularity of powder coating in street rod construction is growing rapidly these days. It seems more and more street rodders are opting to powder coat their chassis, suspension, and underhood parts than ever before. The use of powder coating technology in the industrial field has been around for a long time, and the benefits of this refinish method are now being realized in the automotive aftermarket as well. Street rodders have found that powder coatings are extremely durable and perform well when it comes to resisting cracking, chipping, and peeling. Plus it's abrasion, corrosion, and chemical resistant to boot. Heck, if it's good enough for rocket and missile casings, it may just be good enough for Deuce frames and IFS components, wouldn't you think?
