ZyCoat

• Their flagship, single-stage thermal dissipation spray coating designed for hard-running components like headers, manifolds, and turbo housings. It is formulated to lower ambient under-hood temperatures by over 40% while accelerating track cool-down times.

• A high-temperature, corrosion-resistant engine styling coat. It requires a two-step application process utilizing a dedicated medium-gray primer base before laying down automotive color coats like “Bitchin Black” or “Porsche Gray”.

• An industry-first, non-yellowing, high-gloss clear coat formulated to survive extreme under-hood and marine environments. It withstands substrate temperatures up to 1200°F and is uniquely engineered to be applied simply by wiping it onto bare metal or wheels using a lint-free cloth.

Key Characteristics

• Advanced Polymer Base: “The short version: we modified a polymer through a high-temperature reaction process that nobody else can replicate. That's the core of patented technology.”, as noted by ZyCoat. Because it is a modified polymer rather than a traditional ceramic paint, it features a harder finish (rated 7.9 on the pencil hardness scale) and avoids the cracking or humidity degradation common to ceramics.

• Thin-Film Sensitivity: Similar to its competitors, ZyCoat products demand an ultra-thin layer. For instance, ZyBar must be sprayed to a precise dry film thickness of 1.0 to 1.5 mils. Laying it on too thick traps solvents underneath, causing the finish to “pop,” lift, or peel away when subjected to engine heat.

• Flexible Curing: While ZyCoat offers a traditional oven cure cycle (450°F for 120 minutes after a 45-minute flash time), their products are highly popular with DIY mechanics because they can fully air-cure and set using the natural exhaust heat of the vehicle.
