Coating
Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE)
- Durable, resists oxidation and
brittleness
Graphite component
- Reduces durability properties
Applied by hand
- Thick coverage
- Uneven coverage
Paint bond is susceptible to
peeling

Brand X: The Coating
2nd stage-
Carbon steel rotors
PTFE coating
- Applied by hand
- Thick & uneven coverage
Paint bond
- Susceptible to peeling
Corrosion Susceptible

Why Does Brand X Lose Their Coating?
How is the surface lost?
Sierra Super Duty 35
How Does Brand Xs Airend Fail
Lost coating in moisture rich
oxygen laden environment =
rust.
High interstage temperature
- Diminished capacity
- Increased horsepower
Creates high temperature
& accelerates failure

UltraCoat- The Process
Surface area preparation
- Carbon steel
- Cast iron
- Stainless steel
Coating applied by robot
Heat cured in oven
Ultracoat Corrosion Inhibitor
Sierra Super Duty 38
Step 1- Surface Preparation
Surface area preparation
- Phosphatized for carbon steel
& cast iron
- Sandblasting for stainless steel
Creates Ultra large surface area
- Crevasses for bonding

Durable- resists oxidation and brittleness
Applied thin
Mechanical bond = Ultra strength
- UltraCoat must be physically torn off to be
removed

Coating Conclusions
UltraCoat is superior because of
Material composition
Metal preparation
- Ultra surface area
Mechanical bonding
Thinner coating
- Yields greatest bonding strength
