Off-road and racing coatings

Coating solutions for off-road vehicles

In the automotive industry, the efficient coating solutions developed by Ionbond engineers are widely used for applications in internal combustion engines. This success has carried over to off-road applications, using the same general concepts to reduce wear and friction in moving contacts.

Coatings for diesel engines

Modern diesel engines remain some of the most efficient means of generating power from fossil fuels. For this reason, such engines are widely used for various heavy-duty off-road applications - powering ships, locomotives, power generators and earth-moving and agricultural equipment. For these applications, as for automotive engines, Tribobond™ coatings provide efficient protection against wear, while reducing friction in contacts with limited lubrication. Application examples include:

Anti-seizing Tribobond™ films for elimination of bronze bushes in steel/cast iron pistons
Wear- and friction-reducing coatings in large-unit plungers and fuel injectors
Specialty Tribobond™ coatings for heavy-duty gears
Wear and scuffing protection in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders

Turbochargers

Tribobond™ coatings are widely used for wear protection of components of large turbochargers, such as thrust bearings and seal rings. Ionbond™ CVD coatings offer solutions for anti-fouling in the turbine section of turbocharger.
