XMY COATINGS

Brake rotors and drums are pivotal in vehicle safety. To ensure their longevity and performance, they're coated with protective layers. Below are the coatings used, their purposes, and benefits.

PPG Paint Hat & Edge

Description: PPG Paint Hat & Edge is a specialized coating by PPG Industries. It's used mainly on the hat and edges of the brake rotor to prevent rust on non-friction surfaces.

  • Benefit: Great corrosion resistance.
  • Benefit: Enhances brake component appearance.
  • Benefit: Prolongs part lifespan.

Geomet

Description: Geomet is a water-based coating solution that contains zinc and aluminum flakes. The application results in a silver, matte finish offering protection against corrosion.

  • Benefit: Superior rust protection.
  • Benefit: Withstands high temperatures.
  • Benefit: Provides consistent frictional properties.

Tamex

Description: Tamex is known for its high resistance to chipping and abrasion, forming a protective layer on brake components against corrosion and wear.

  • Benefit: Resists abrasion.
  • Benefit: Protects against contaminants.
  • Benefit: Extends brake component lifespan.

Zinc Plating

Description: Zinc plating involves electro-deposition where a thin layer of zinc is applied to brake components. This enhances appearance and provides a sacrificial layer against corrosion.

  • Benefit: Excellent corrosion resistance.
  • Benefit: Enhances aesthetic appeal.
  • Benefit: Provides a protective sacrificial layer.

E-Coating

Description: E-Coating, or electrocoating, immerses brake components in a water-based solution containing paint particles. An electric current causes the paint particles to adhere, forming a uniform protective layer.

  • Benefit: Uniform coating thickness.
  • Benefit: Complete coverage, even in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Benefit: Excellent rust resistance.

2pc Rotor Options

Description: 2pc (Two-Piece) Rotor Options refer to brake rotors consisting of two separate components: a metal alloy braking surface and a lightweight, usually aluminum, center hub. This innovative design enhances performance and durability, particularly in high-demand driving conditions such as racing or spirited street driving.

  • Benefit: Reduced Weight: The use of lightweight materials for the center hub significantly reduces the overall weight of the rotor, which can decrease unsprung mass and improve vehicle handling dynamics.
  • Benefit: Improved Cooling: Two-piece rotors are designed to dissipate heat more efficiently than their one-piece counterparts. The separation between the braking surface and the hub allows for better air circulation, reducing the risk of brake fade during intense use.
  • Benefit: Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: 2pc rotors often feature a distinctive look, with the contrasting colors and materials between the hub and the braking surface adding a high-performance aesthetic to any vehicle.
