Corrosion Resistance
The table above shows how much more effectively
JET-HOT resist rust than traditional
coatings and even other metallic ceramics in
acceleration salt-spray tests.

Temperature Reduction
Independent test conducted at Daytona Speedway showed how
JET-HOT reduces under bonnet temperature.
Comparative temperature readings were taken immediately
after ten laps, run at between 6900 and 7500 RPM, on an
engine idle at 2000 RPM with an exhaust tempt of 454c (850F).
The test show that temperature of uncoated headers 1 inch
from the port was 399c (750F), 2 inch above the header
121c (250F) and 1 inch above the floor pan 82c (180F),
while JET-HOT coated headers were at a low
204c (400F) 1 inch from the port, 110c (230F) 2 inches
above the header and 49c (120F) 1 inch above the floor
pan.

Hi-Temp Fatigue Resistance
JET-HOT, as shown above,
increases the endurance limit (fatigue strength) of most
alloys subject to stress loads after exposure to high
temperatures. The comparison above is based on 10-million
stress cycles at the temperature indicated in the graph bars.

Hi-Temp Oxidation Resistance
JET-HOT protects
both mild steel and stainless steel from oxidation that causes
weakening at temperatures above 1200f. Whereas unprotected surfaces
loose weight and strength through microscopic cracking and rust as
oxidized surface flakes away, JET-HOT continues to a
miniscule weight gain via oxidizing properties of aluminium.
Between 1300f and 1600f standard JET-HOT coatings show
signs of mud cracking. Limited diffusion occurs between the coating
and substrate, producing a thin film of iron aluminide, which
continues to inhibit oxidation. For extreme high-temperature
applications in Racing and Turbo applications JET-HOT
offers JET-HOT 2000 which protects metals above 2000f
(1094c)
