Thermal Barrier coating formulations of ceramic and metal compositions
are intentionally designed to reduce or isolate the movement of heat.
For example, exhaust system coatings have a primary goal of heat
containment within individual components; which significantly reduces
operational exterior surface temperature. However, when dealing with a
combustion chamber the ultimate objective is containment of combustion
generated heat within the combustion chamber, rather than having this
horsepower generating energy absorbed into neighboring metal surfaces.

High Performance Thermal
Barrier Coatings
Properly controlled heat energy in a combustion chamber will
substantially increase the downward force applied to a piston during the
power stroke.
Further, when the employ of alternative fuels or an increased combustion
ratio is introduced a Thermal Barrier Coating will provide protection of
components prone to failure; an example being piston top erosion caused
by pre-detonation.
