  • Reduction of rework and cleaning costs
  • Improvement of engine performance
  • Extension of service intervals
  • CO2 emission reduction
  • Reduced impurities in the cooling circulation system

Inner cleanliness coatings for the latest engine technology

The latest generation of SEMCO IC specifically addresses the challenge posed by the switch to lead-free bearings. It is formulated so that any ceramic residue which does remain in the casting is softer than the bearing. This eliminates the risk of damage to the bearing by the residue.
