Less Friction, More Power? QLC Engine Coatings Explained | Rocketman Coatings

<p>Can advanced engine coatings reduce friction, protect racing components and free up horsepower? Rocketman Coatings explains its QLC surface technology—and what engine builders need to know.</p><p>Rocky Jordache, Owner, and Billy Jordache, Vice President of Rocketman Coatings, join EPARTRADE’s Race Industry Now to explore quartz-like ceramic (QLC), a proprietary surface treatment designed for low friction and greater durability in performance and racing applications.</p><p>Learn about:<br>• QLC’s reported 1–5 micron thickness<br>• Proprietary “kinetic wave” application technology<br>• Applying the treatment without heating the component<br>• Oil retention and protection during engine startup<br>• A reported average coefficient of friction of 0.07 in piston-ring testing<br>• Piston-ring flank vs. face treatment—and why sealing matters<br>• Applications for camshafts, lifters, bearings, transmission gears and oil-pump gears<br>• Heat transfer, component quality and practical application limits<br>• Manufacturing partnerships and licensing opportunities</p><p>From valvetrain wear to piston-ring friction, this technical discussion examines how surface engineering could help reduce mechanical losses while protecting precision engine components.</p><p>Featuring:<br>Rocky Jordache — Owner, Rocketman Coatings<br>Billy Jordache — Vice President, Rocketman Coatings</p><p>Hosted by Brad Gillie of SiriusXM, Channel 90, Late Shift.</p><p>Episode 640: “The Next Generation of Low-Friction Surface Technology—For Low Friction, Durability, and More Power”</p><p>What engine component would you most want to test with a low-friction surface treatment?
