Applications: Automotive

The LO/MIT coatings have many unique properties that make them ideal for automotive applications:

Low cost

Low weight (less than .001gm/square foot)

High temperature tolerance to +1000°F (538°C)

Excellent adhesion and flexibility, even on plastics and rubber

Ease of application, via spray or roller

Low emissivity, high diffuse reflectivity

Very low electrical conductivity

Excellent weather durability on exterior surfaces

Smooth, reflective surface is visually pleasing

	LO/MIT-I applied to carbon fiber frame section to prevent heat degradation from exhaust system routing on Mazda GTP race car.
	LO/MIT-I applied to interior of fiberglass door panels to prevent heat degradation from exhaust system routing on Mazda GTP race car. LO/MIT-I has excellent adhesion to most plastic substrates used in automotive applications.
	This Mazda race car didn’t use LO/MIT and caught on fire after 23 ½ hours of the Daytona 24 Hour race.
	LO/MIT-I applied to interior of engine cover to prevent heat degradation on Jaguar GTU race car. LO/MIT-I has excellent adhesion to fiberglass substrates.
	LO/MIT-I applied to plastic intake manifold air duct box on Buick race car. LO/MIT-I blocked radiant heat transfer from engine, keeping the inlet air temperature lower and increasing engine output.
	LO/MIT-I being applied to plastic cover for GM wiring harness. LO/MIT keeps the wiring cooler and prevents heat degradation of the wiring insulation.
	Silicone spark plug boots coated with LO/MIT to extend service life. LO/MIT is an excellent, low cost solution for automotive electrical system heat degradation problems.
