Coolers greatly benefit with TSD Boron Nitride thermal coating. The coated surface formed a unique layer of BN plates as you can clearly see from the side illustration. The fins on fins easily increase over 50% of air-to-surface contact areas to expose to cooler air flow.
The above is an illustration on how it increases the 'air to surface' area on a microscopic level. If you think about this on a microscopic level on an intercooler, you can see how much it increases the 'air to surface' area. When sprayed on a smooth surface for example an intercooler, the coating will feel slightly rough due to the increase of the surface area as illustrated above. It is this surface area increase and the thermal conductivity of Hexagonal Boron Nitride, which helps improve cooling efficiency. Think about how a heat sinks works and what is the purpose of the fins on the heat sink. This is a similar concept as the slight roughness is like the fins on a heatsink.

TSD Is An Unique And Is A Special Purpose Formulated Product, Which Is HEAT DISSIPATION And Should Form Part Of Your Cooling Upgrade Plan Regardless If Your Vehicle Is For The Track Or Street.
Below is a picture of Leith Jepsen, who competes in the GTRNZ series. He has coated TSD on his intercooler, radiator, oil cooler and other various components.
