DuraGo has created new brake rotors that provide an unprecedented level of corrosion resistance. These rotors are especially useful your vehicle utilizes an open-wheel or if you drive in harsh wintery conditions where your rotor may be susceptible to corrosion from salts or brines.

By using an electrophoretic coating process, the rotor is thoroughly coated including the inner vanes. Unlike sprayed on paint, the rotor is fully immersed in a tank and coated by the process of deposition. During the process, resin particles are suspended within a liquid medium and have a charge placed upon them. Under a charged current, the coating particles migrate to the rotor and are deposited onto all exposed surfaces, resulting in a highly corrosive resistant and durable coating. After the rotor is coated, it is thoroughly rinsed and baked to harden the coating. Once the coating is cured, all of the braking surfaces are finish machined.

Besides being corrosion resistant these rotors have some other impressive features. The Premium Core Technology allows for tighter tolerances and cleaner castings. With this process, the non-machined parts of the rotor are also more detailed. The rotors have a non-directional swirl finish that promotes brake pad bedding and eliminates the need for machining prior to installation. Some other features of the rotors include:

• Brake cleaner resistant finish.
• Superior salt spray protection (per ASTM B-117/ISO 9227).
• Multiple Vane configurations for heat dissipation.
• 100% mill balanced for optimum braking performance.
• High-grade SAE J431 metallurgy
• The rotors are manufactured with computerized machining for tight tolerance controls
