Japanese nano-film coating keeps motorcycles shiny

Yamaha Motor's nanofilm coating technology helps keep exhaust pipes shiny.

TOKYO -- Japan's Yamaha Motor has developed a nano-film coating technology that makes motorcycle exhaust pipes more heat- and corrosion-resistant, so as to help prevent discoloration and rust. The versatile technology is expected to find a variety of other uses, such as in making kitchenware and automotive parts.

Motorcycle exhaust pipes generally consist of a set of polished, chromed stainless pipes. They are mainly responsible for reducing noise, purifying exhaust gases and controlling engine output.
