Niterra, owner of the brands NGK and NTK, Highlights 3 Benefits of Using Noble Metal Spark Plugs

The company also highlights the main warning points that spark plugs are not working correctly

São Paulo, January 2024 – A Niterra, Japanese multinational owner of the NGK and NTK brands and specialized in components for ignition systems and automotive sensors, It shares three advantages of using noble metal candles compared to conventional candles. Composed of materials such as platinum and iridium, These spark plugs incorporate the latest technological innovations in the automotive industry, Providing Significant Benefits.

 ;

1- Improved performance: because it has electrodes with fine tips, Noble metal candles provide starters, Faster and easier resumptions and accelerations. Furthermore, ensure a more stable idle speed and a more efficient burning of the air/fuel mixture, resulting in superior performance compared to conventional candles.

 ;

2- Increased durability: because of the materials used in its manufacture, Noble metal spark plugs are designed with two steps between the center electrode and the ceramic insulator. This prevents charring of the candle, ensuring a micro-flush that keeps the flame tip clean. The high hardness of these metals provides greater durability, reducing wear on the electrodes and, consequently, Increasing the life of ignition system components.

 ;

3- Environmental Efficiency: Noble metal candles concentrate the energy to the spark, resulting in more efficient burning of the air/fuel mixture and less carbon waste. This improves engine performance and reduces pollutant emissions, Contributing to a cleaner environment.

Warning signs with spark plugs

Even with great technological advances and benefits that noble metal spark plugs bring, Drivers should still watch for signs that reveal faults in these components. Points like cold start difficulty, Engine throttle failures, Increased fuel consumption and the illumination of the fault light in newer vehicles indicate abnormal behaviors that are worth observing by a professional mechanic.

"As users, We must be on the lookout for warning signs, because they serve to detect problems in our vehicles. Acting promptly in the face of these alerts is essential to correct any failures in time, preventing further damage to already compromised components", afirma Hiromori Mori, Technical Assistance Consultant at Niterra do Brasil.

If the spark plugs need to be replaced, Niterra presents a solution through the NGK brand, offering a range of specialty candles such as G-Power (Platinum) e Iridium IX (Iridium), Available in the aftermarket.

These options stand out as advantageous choices in terms of cost-effectiveness. Niterra do Brasil recommends the installation of these candles, where there is a match indicated in the NGK application table.
