The Nanoprom adds another function to the third generation of the miraculous film silicon
The NANOPRO It launched Third generation of Polysil. The rims of the Formula 1 He is coming a new treatment that adds another important feature to those undertaken so far. It is like Gianluca Falleti, holder Nanoprom, and the consultant Gabriele Tredozi, former technical director at Minardi and HRT, They had adopted the philosophy that has made winning in Circus Adrian Newey, so each piece may have more functions to enhance the overall performance of the machine.
The Polysil has started talking two years ago when the OZ Racing began to be painted in black the inside of the rear wheels with a coating useful to retain the temperature that, instead, had been transferred to the tires thus allowing the rapid heating. The wheel, indeed, assimilating the heat (until 200 degrees) of the carbon discs and radiated tires Pirelli.
The Polysil is a film silicon formata da nanotechnology: spraying what is considered a “liquid glass” on the circle: the effectiveness is ensured by a layer of a few microns for the high surface hardness of this material which also ensures high abrasion resistance. The painting of a traditional wheel F1 cost about 65 grams, while Polysil fell around 5 grams.
Last year the treatment has been extended to the front wheels, while now in third generation of Polysil, the Nanoprom adds another very important property: It cancels the membership of murble, residues of hot rubber that are attached to the wheels. It has been calculated that avoids a significant weight gain during each stint (it comes up to 1 kg for the four wheels!), keeping surfaces clean, avoiding, then, which generate harmful turbulence which can have a negative influence on the trend of flows that now, especially with the perforated front hubs, have a role aerodynamic relevant.
