Paint Protection Film (PPF)
– PPF also called a clear bra, clear film or clear paint film is a thermoplastic urethane often self-healing film.
PPF Car Coating
The paint protection film is a modern marvel. It’s a thin but exceptionally durable polymer or polyurethane film that is the ultimate layer of protection. It protects your ride clear coat against chemicals, UV exposure, acid rain, and road debris, and if the vehicle’s paint is impacted by road debris, it can save you thousands of dollars in autobody repair.
There is a lot of information on the interwebs about paint protection film. Some of it is accurate, and others are pure, 100 percent, grade A BS. Search up the ceramic coating and you’ll get similar misleading information. So, let’s explore the truth about paint protection film.
- Rich & Deep Shine
- Simple DIY Application
- Incredible Hydrophobic
- Ultra-high gloss
Benefits Of PPF Coating
Though the film primarily protects you from scratches due to versatility, it also shields the car from parking incidents and road salt to make the vehicle pristine for longer. Below are the benefits of paint protection films for vehicles.
Prevents Chemical Reactions
Sand and salt are laid on roads to melt away ice and snow. Unfortunately, the chemicals are abrasive to paint and other parts of your car. Over time, they cause chipping to allow the buildup of rust.
Protects Against Fading
Besides rain and snow, exposure to sunlight can cause fading, leaving your paint job looking uninspired and dull. Moreover, if the car receives uneven sunlight,
Hydrophobic Effect
This has a higher contact angle because of its chemical composition and honeycomb structure, making water slide off easier on the surface than the conventional coating.
Self-Heaing Properties
Paint protection films have self-healing properties. The multiple layers in film cohesively protect vehicle paint & heal the surface-level damage. It destruction through scratch-resistant urethane coating.
Is Guaranteed
When you invest in clear quality films, it’s guaranteed to be resistant to peeling and discoloration to preserve and increase the value of your vehicle. In addition, you can easily remove protective films for replacement, The paint protection film.
Provides Invisible Protection
Previously, colored bras were stylish, especially on racing cars. However, that’s out of style as they don’t look appealing on luxury vehicles. However, if applied correctly, the transparent films are almost invisible.
9H & 10H HARDNESS
– Grade Card of Hardness Level
What’s 9H?
The 9H & 10H hardness is now one of the most talked term in ceramic coating to attract the customers not just in India but across the world. But in some matured markets, sellers stopped mentioning about hardness of their ceramic coating because people over there are more educated on this, it may sound funny but it’s the truth. Hence the term “9H hardness” will be continue to be (miss)used until we all get educated.
What’s Mohs?
9H Certificate?
How important is the Hardness?
Almost every quartz/ceramic/glass coatings can reach 9H in the pencil hardness scale. In real life conditions, there are far more important factors than the hardness! The slickness and structural integrity of a coating is the crucial and main factor, that influences the real, every-day experience with a coating. And this is exactly what the famous cigarette lighter test proves, the way it helps in real life is that it can reduce the impact of any scratches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Paint protection film is made from a virtually invisible urethane. It can be applied to any painted area requiring protection from stone chips, light scratches and other road debris. Some films feature self healing properties, and superior stain resistance.
Before the paint protection film is applied to the surface, we design and pre-cut specific panels using our precision cut Graphtec FC8600-160 plotter. This ensures that there is no need for cutting on the vehicle whatsoever and leaves a flawless & virtually invisible finish. Our pre-cut designs are then applied using our specially formulated solution and squeegee method. We do not use heat to stretch or tack the film unlike vinyl or other paint protection films.
Yes, film can be installed over any quality of touch-up. Though the best possible appearance will be achieved if the touched in area has been sanded smooth and buffed.
Thermoplastic Polyurethane, also known as TPU, is the answer to every issue PVC Films presented and is referred to as the new generation paint protection film. TPU has a different chemical structure than conventional PVC, which makes it far more flexible and long-lasting. TPU Films are simple to install without the use of heat guns or other tools thanks to their exceptional flexibility. TPU films are extremely durable; they do not lose their elasticity over time or develop cracks or discoloration. TPU Films are easy to apply and remove without causing any harm to the original paint.
Absolutely! Although only to a certain extent of course. Designed to self heal light scratches and light stone chips. The top coat is the self-healing layer and is approximately 13 microns thick. If that layer is penetrated, the film will not heal.
Yes, thanks to our specific preparation method our paint protection films can be safely removed if needed without leaving any glue residue or damage to the surface, (providing the paint is factory original and / or has been re finished with a factory approved bodyshop).
Yes, paint protection film can be applied to headlights and fog lights, and is a great way to protect those most vulnerable areas from getting stone chips.
In addition, Ceramic Coatings help to seal in the pores of your paint to create a ultra glossy, smooth finish that enhances the look of your vehicle.
TPH is a polymer using Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) as its foundation that is less expensive than TPU and more effective than PVC Films. Although PVC serves as the foundation of the TPH Film, the technology employed enhances PVC’s flexibility and chemical characteristics. The result is that the TPH material is more flexible than PVC and does not discolor. However, in terms of general flexibility, toughness, and life, TPU outperforms it.
