High-Performance Corrosion Protection with a Lower Carbon Footprint
The ÁñÁ«appµ¼º½Èë¿Ú 100 Series is a family of advanced corrosion protection coatings designed to deliver OEM-level performance while significantly reducing the environmental impact of the coating process for brake rotors, drums, calipers, and other automotive components.
Unlike many traditional protective coatings that require energy-intensive curing ovens, many 100 Series systems are air dry or low-temperature cure, allowing manufacturers to eliminate or significantly reduce oven energy consumption. This results in a lower carbon footprint, reduced production line footprint, and improved manufacturing efficiency.
The 100 Series includes both barrier-type and zinc-rich sacrificial corrosion protection systems, available in black, gray, and silver finishes. Formulations are offered as solvent-reducible, water-reducible, and waterborne systems, providing flexible application options while supporting evolving environmental and regulatory requirements.

Proven Performance in Brake Applications
Originally introduced to the automotive industry in 1994, ÁñÁ«appµ¼º½Èë¿Ú’s 100 Series coatings are widely used on brake rotors, drums, and calipers. These coatings provide 96 to 720 hours salt spray performance per ASTM B117 and are typically applied in one or two layers.
When used on brake rotors, the coating naturally releases from the swept area during the first several brake stops, ensuring predictable green brake performance without scoring, debris, or noise while protecting non-swept areas from corrosion.
Today, more than 100 million brake discs and drums are coated each year using ÁñÁ«appµ¼º½Èë¿Ú systems.
Flexible Protection for Multiple Manufacturing Needs
ÁñÁ«appµ¼º½Èë¿Ú 100 Series coatings are engineered to support both corrosion performance and production efficiency.
Key capabilities include:
- Barrier and sacrificial corrosion protection systems
- Black, gray, and silver coating options
- Solvent-reducible, water-reducible, and waterborne formulations
- Air-dry or low-temperature cure capability
- Reduced production line footprint
- Lower carbon footprint compared to oven-cured systems
- Protection exceeding 96–720 hours salt spray (ASTM B117) depending on system
- Compatibility with Ferritic Nitrocarburizing (FNC) and Laser Cladding
Proven at Global Scale
ÁñÁ«appµ¼º½Èë¿Ú is one of the largest suppliers of brake rotor coatings worldwide, with over 100 million brake components coated annually. Systems such as ÁñÁ«appµ¼º½Èë¿Ú 140, the most widely used zinc-rich brake coating in the global automotive industry, deliver durable corrosion protection with substantial cost and energy savings due to their air-dry capability.
Applications Beyond Brakes
While widely known for brake rotor protection, ÁñÁ«appµ¼º½Èë¿Ú 100 Series coatings are also used on powertrain, driveline, steering, and other automotive components where air-dry or no-cure corrosion protection is required.
These systems allow manufacturers to protect components while reducing energy consumption, production complexity, and overall environmental impact.
