Line2Line Coatings ’ Abradable Powder CoatingsTM ( APCTM ) improve the performance of pistons , pumps , turbochargers and superchargers .

Pistons with APC coatings lap in to permanently improve piston-to-bore fit for better ring seal and decreased secondary motion and noise due to a stabilized oil film . Turbos and superchargers can be assembled with a “ zero clearance-zero friction ” fit for better sealing and greater efficiency . Oil pumps display increased pressure and flow at idle and low RPM even with hot , thin oil . For race , restoration , production and product development applications , Abradable Powder Coatings provide the perfect fit every time .
