Glacier High Performance Ceramic Coatings

Performance-Coatings.co.uk is home to the Glacier range of high-performance ceramic coatings, applied in-house by Maldon Shotblasting & Powder Coating Ltd (MSBPCL) in Heybridge, Essex. We specialise in high-temperature ceramic coatings, Cerakote finishes, and thermal barrier coatings for exhaust headers, manifolds, turbos, and engine components — built to perform in demanding, high-heat environments while giving components a durable, professional finish.

The Glacier range is formulated to withstand temperatures of over 2,000°F, including direct thermal shock from those temperatures into water, without adverse effects — making it a genuine industry-leading choice for exhaust and thermal management coatings. All work is backed by our guarantee, with up to a five-year standard powder coating guarantee and a two-year guarantee available on Cerakote work with a base plasma coat.

Whether you’re coating a full exhaust system, engine casings, calipers, or bike parts, our experienced team combines correct surface preparation with the right coating system for the component and its intended use — because performance and protection go hand in hand.

Our Five-Year Standard Powder Coating Guarantee:

We’re excited to extend our work guarantee to up to five years, protecting against corrosion from the inside out, paint fading, and surface lifting for most powder-coated items! Our meticulous process delivers the highest-quality results, featuring thorough blast cleaning, precise phosphate washing and masking, a zinc-rich powder-coat primer, and a high-quality powder-coat finish.

CERAKOTE

For those of you interested in our Cerakote options, we recommend keeping your items looking their best with some regular care! A simple wash with standard car shampoo will do wonders, and it’s essential to quickly tackle any road salt or other contaminants. To maintain the integrity of the coating, avoid cleaners containing harsh acids or abrasive substances like T-cut, as these can damage the finish.

Keep in mind that while your items are durable, exposure to road debris, grit, and tyre spray may influence the surface colour over time.

For optimal protection, we suggest applying a plasma base coat to any exposed parts. We proudly offer a two-year guarantee for our Cerakote items!

Cast Iron / Mild Steel Items:

Additionally, we provide an optional alloy plasma metallization coat to enhance our two-year guarantee for cast iron or mild steel products, such as manifolds and turbo housings. This extra layer not only minimises heat loss but also effectively conceals minor corrosion
damage after our blast cleaning process, resulting in a unique, slightly textured finish. Our warranty covers excellent surface performance and burning when you choose a suitable high-temperature coating from our curated product range, with a standard one-year warranty for Cerakote single coat, extending to two years with the base plasma coat!

At Maldon Shot Blasting & Powder Coating Ltd, we always prioritise quality over cost. While our prices may be higher than some competitors’, choosing our services means investing in reliability and durability that brings long-term value.

We believe in open communication, so you can trust that we’ll keep you updated on any developments throughout the entire process. Your satisfaction and the longevity of your products are our absolute top priorities!

Additional Information:

Please note that our warranties do not cover accidental damage or staining caused by road pollution, road salt, burnt-on tar, or heavy grit.

Warranties apply only to items that are in good condition before any work begins.

Guarantees are subject to the general condition of the items, and there may be cases where we can’t offer any coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions on High Performance Coartings

What temperatures can Glacier ceramic coatings withstand? The Glacier high-performance ceramic coating range is formulated to withstand temperatures of over 2,000°F, including direct thermal shock from those temperatures into water, with no adverse effects.

What’s the difference between Cerakote and the Glacier ceramic range? Cerakote and the Glacier range are both high-performance ceramic coating systems offered by Performance-Coatings.co.uk, each suited to different applications and finishes; the guarantee terms also differ, with Cerakote carrying a standard one-year warranty extending to two years when a base plasma coat is applied.

Do ceramic coated exhausts and manifolds come with a guarantee? Yes, work is covered by guarantees ranging up to five years for standard powder coating and up to two years for Cerakote items with a base plasma coat, provided the component was in good condition before work began.

How do I look after a ceramic coated or Cerakote finish? Regular washing with standard car shampoo is recommended, along with promptly removing road salt or contaminants, while cleaners containing harsh acids or abrasive products should be avoided as they can damage the finish over time.

Can ceramic coating be applied to cast iron or mild steel manifolds and turbo housings? Yes, an optional alloy plasma metallization coat is available for cast iron or mild steel components such as manifolds and turbo housings, helping to minimise heat loss and conceal minor corrosion damage after blast cleaning.

Do I need to let a newly ceramic coated part cure before using it? Yes, ceramic coated products need time to cure before reaching full working temperature; running a component up to temperature too soon can affect performance and may void the guarantee, so allowing the recommended curing time is important.
