The coating acts as a sacrificial layer when it comes in contact with another surface so that the base material underneath is protected and remains unharmed.
[2][3] Abradable Powder Coatings safely reduce operating clearances and friction to improve the efficiency of compressors, pumps, engines, blowers, etc.
A Tier 1 automotive supplier reports increased volumetric efficiencies and enhanced sealing on supercharger rotor sets through the use of a patented abradable powder coating.
[4] [5] [6] [7] Abradable Powder Coating provides engine benefits such as higher efficiency, reduced noise and greater durability when applied on pistons.
An abradable coating can be a highly cost-effective method of improving the tolerances and efficiency of the impeller-housing combination without resorting to much more costly machining of the original components.
