Our ceramic pro coating solutions are composed of two different kinds of precursors organic pre ceramics and anorganic quartz.

Organic ceramics generate dense ceramic layers with Si N Si and Si O Si structures. Consequently coatings are extremely resistant to heat and provide excellent protection against corrosion and weathering In addition their strong non stick properties repel water and dirt. Paints are distorted upon hitting the coated surface and are hardly able to bond with the ceramic coating, thus demotivating graffiti artists. Graffiti removal is easily facilitated.

Anorganic quartz generates a film composed of silicon dioxide (similar to quartz or glass) and provides many substrates with anti scratch properties as well as excellent stability to chemicals and heat.

The appearance of even the most well maintained environments can easily be compromised:

• Sweaty hands leave permanent traces on stainless steel surfaces
• Mud splashes on cars
• Vandals leave graffiti on trains
• Their cleaning requires a lot of time and aggressive chemicals

Ceramic protection prepares the material for constant cleaning and contributes significantly to reduce contamination, thus saving not only time, but in the long run also reducing material costs.

The slightest damage to a surface is a curse, especially on high gloss surfaces. Our ceramic pro coating solutions for an enhanced scratch resistance provides the automotive, construction and marine industries, and many other sectors with optimal surface protection.

• For scratch resistant surfaces
• All it takes is one slight accidental movement when getting into a new car and the perfect surface can be damaged by a small scratch from a ring, a handbag or a zipper.
• Besides Nanoflex ® Dura, Dura VF and Dura HD Nanoflex ® Sapphire provides all interior and exterior surfaces with a particularly enhanced scratch resistance.

Use our ceramic coating solutions for a scratch resistant finish on surfaces in the following areas:

5: No Effect – No detectable change in the material surface.
4: Excellent – Slight detectable change in colour or gloss, but no change in function or life of the surface.
3: Good – A clearly discernible change in colour or gloss, but no significant impairment of surface life or function.
2: Fair – Considerable change in appearance due to dis-coloration or etching, possibly resulting in deterioration of function over an extended period of time.
1: Fail – Pitting, cratering or erosion of the surface. Obvious and significant deterioration.

SAFETY

Safety FirstSafety instructions for our cermic pro coating solutions are detailed on the material safety data sheet and should be followed unconditionally

• Wear solvent resistant gloves (e.g. butyl or nitrile rubber gloves) when applying the product.
• Wear suitable eye protection (safety glasses or face mask).
• Provide adequate ventilation of working area.
• Wearing a half mask with filter types A2 B2 E2 K2 Hg/P3 when applying the product is recommended.
• The solution must not be mixed or diluted with other solvents.
• Store in a cool (10 C) dry place with adequate ventilation.
• Open the container periodically to release overpressure (ammonia, hydrogen).
• Keep away from fire, sparks, water, moisture, alcohols and other chemical substances.

STORAGE

Ceramic pro coatings should be stored in a cool 10 C), dry place with sufficient ventilation Ventilate sealed containers regularly (once per month) to release pressure Ventilation dates should be verifiable This activity will minimize the accumulation of ammonia, hydrogen and self igniting silane gas.
