The valves are a set of parts that allow the entry of air-fuel mixture to the combustion chamber (admission) and the leakage of resulting gases (escape).
In order to achieve this objective, NPC ® presents its valves with TUFFTRIDE ® coating, an epsilon ferric nitrate and hard coal compound, that generates a thin surface layer mainly in the valve stem, improving the friction between this and the valve guide.  This coating has a diffusing layer that improves in a double proportion its capacity of preventing the fatigue and producing corrosion resistance of the treated materials.
The NPC ® valves benefit from the properties of TUFFTRIDE ® that makes them more wear resistant, extending its life span.
