NGK Iridium Spark Plug CPR8EAIX-9

Iridium IX spark The Iridium IX spark plug benefits from the use of the precious metal Iridium on its centre electrode. Iridium is harder than other precious metals used in spark plug manufacture, has an extremely high melting point and offers greater protection from chemical attack. These features allow the use of an extremely small diameter electrode (0.6mm) without compromising the spark plug’s service life. When compared to nickel plugs, service life is greatly extended. Combined with the use of the taper cut ground electrode this spark plug has superior gas flow properties and lower voltage requirements, which offers further improvements in starting, idling and throttle response. Iridium spark plugs are used in many high performance engines and in competition. The improved throttle response, superior anti-fouling and high-ignitability makes Iridium IX® ideal for the performance enthusiast. Iridium’s extremely high melting point is perfectly suited to today’s high-temperature engines, delivering outstanding acceleration, fuel efficiency and durability. Key Benefits Fine iridium tip ensures high durability and a consistently stable spark Trivalent metal plating for superior anti-corrosion and anti-seizing properties Outstanding acceleration, high fuel efficiency and durability
