Super-tough new coating
technology for the 21st century
Restoring
damaged cylinders at substantially less than the cost of direct
replacement; reclaiming rare or highly modified cylinders; improving
two and four stroke engine performance.....then Apticote metal-ceramic
coatings have always been Formula One for both repair and OEM
applications.
Now the best gets even better with new APTICOTE CERAMIC 2000.
The outcome of extensive research into coating properties and
high performance automotive applications, APTICOTE 2000
guarantees you the super-tough coating technology you'll need
for the engine developments to come in the 21st century.
Unrivalled for lining the bores of aluminium cylinders - or for
coating aluminium or steel liners - APTICOTE 2000 is the
ultimate engine armour..... and as state-of-the-art as only Poeton
could make it.

One Answer for two stroke/four
stroke applications
In a typical two stroke repair application, damage may have been
caused by wear through the original plating, scoring from a seized
piston or broken rings, pockmarking through detonation or a broken
or cracked cylinder wall, usually at the port bridges.
In all cases the repair procedure involves restoration by TIC
welding, precision machining and then coating with APTICOTE
CERAMIC 2000.
After cleaning off old coating, damage
and low areas are filled with weld.
|
 |
 |
| When the cylinder is bored, porosity
and impurities bubbled up by weld process sometimes need a repeat
run. Casket faces and port windows also have to be machined back
to original profile. |
Detonation damage can be repaired.
Ceramic coating-may be extended
around the top of cylinder
to give better protection. |
