Tested to withstand 400+ hours of salt spray (equivalent to 18 southern Michigan winter months), coated brake rotors edges and vanes stay cleaner longer, optimizing air flow and performance. Special polymer coating also keeps rust from forming along the outer edges of the pad swept area to prevent edge-lift.Feb 27, 2018
Are coated brake rotors worth it?
It is applied over the whole disc rotor, offering total protection against rust and corrosion and allowing for optimal performance and longer life. Protex coated disc rotors are more visually appealing on the car. No ugly rusted hats or vanes visible through the spokes.
Is it better to get coated or uncoated rotors?
The entire rotor including its interior has a baked on, robotic applied coating for long lasting rust protection, compared to an uncoated rotor. Edges and vanes also stay cleaner longer, for optimal cooling. Vanes play a key role in safety and performance.

What are coated rotors coated with?
Ultracoat Z360 is a coating made from zinc and aluminium flakes, is water-based, chromium-free and environmentally friendly. It is applied over the whole disc rotor, offering total protection against rust and corrosion and allowing for optimal performance and longer life.
What is the coating on new brake rotors?
GEOMET® (or more specifically GEOMET® 360) is a water based chemical coating that is applied to brake rotors to help prevent corrosion. The coating was developed by NOF Metal Coatings Group in response to stricter environmental regulations and concerns.Jan 2, 2018
Are coated rotors any good?
It is applied over the whole disc rotor, offering total protection against rust and corrosion and allowing for optimal performance and longer life. Protex coated disc rotors are more visually appealing on the car. No ugly rusted hats or vanes visible through the spokes.
What is the advantage of coated brake rotors?
Their robotic-applied, baked-on coating helps prevent brake pulsation, helps prevent the rotor from seizing to the hub, and provides excellent rust prevention against harsh environmental elements such as rain, snow, and corrosive road sprays.
Are polymer coated rotors better?
Tested to withstand 400+ hours of salt spray (equivalent to 18 southern Michigan winter months), coated brake rotors edges and vanes stay cleaner longer, optimizing air flow and performance. Special polymer coating also keeps rust from forming along the outer edges of the pad swept area to prevent edge-lift.Feb 27, 2018
What are new brake rotors coated with?
New brake rotors are often coated with an anti rust coating at the factory. That coating must be removed to achieve proper braking. You can use spray brake cleaner and a clean rag to dissolve the coating, but don't stop there.Aug 22, 2015
