Dana Holding Corporation has developed a high-temperature exhaust gasket coating designed to withstand temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees Celsius.
The technology is currently in production with a large diesel-engine manufacturer.
The Victor Reinz ThermoGlide 1000 high-temperature coating is created using water-based chemistry and an environmentally-friendly manufacturing process that produces fewer carbon emissions than traditional volatile organic compound (VOC) based adhesives, the company says.
"With ThermoGlide 1000, we're providing higher temperature resistance, fretting reduction, and improved sealing - all while being environmentally considerate," said Rich Kozerski, director of engineering for the Dana technology center in Lisle, Ill.
Dana engineers used a blend of high-temperature lubricants and unique adhesive to create a coating that offers significant improvement in micro-sealing of metal substrates, preventing the escape of gas between the exhaust manifold and cylinder head. By providing heat insulation between mating engine surfaces, heat transfer can be reduced, resulting in increased joint durability and longer service life, Dana says.
