What are ceramic coatings?

With all complexities aside, ceramic coating is a liquid formula applied to the car’s surface to form a solid protective layer over it.

On a more technical side, ceramic coating is a nanotechnology-based, semi-permanent, liquid polymer coating that protects your car paint surface to preserve its natural gloss and protect the surface from various environmental damages like dust, bird droppings, tree sap and hairline scratches.

It makes the vehicle’s surface smoother, and easier to clean and maintain. Ceramic coatings are also used to protect automotive parts, textiles, marine equipment and construction materials.

The science and tech in ceramic coatings

There are two main components in any ceramic car coating, resin and solvent.

The resin is usually Silicone Dioxide (SiO2), which provides the hardness, hydrophobicity and gloss factor. And since Silicon is a primary component used in making glass, ceramic coatings are also known as Liquid Glass or Glass Coatings.

The need for the second element, the solvent, arises due to the chemical nature of SiO2. The resin SiO2 is essentially melted into a liquid and stored with a solvent because when it comes in contact with open air, it solidifies.

Hence, the solvent plays an important role in ensuring that the SiO2 remains in a liquid state inside a ceramic coating bottle, making it ideal for application on the surface.

It is vital to note that the percentage of SiO2 in retaliation to the solvent and the grade of SiO2 affects the quality of the ceramic coating.

How does a ceramic coating work?

Ceramic coatings are made using nano modules which are more minute than the micropores of the paint on a car’s surface. Naturally, the nanoparticles of ceramic coating enter the micro pores of the car’s paint, forming a mechanical bond.

As mentioned earlier, as the ceramic coating on the car comes in contact with open air, it initiates the process of crystallisation. This occurs as the solvent evaporates, exposing the liquid silicon to air and leading it to harden, forming a mechanical bond with the clear coat of the car’s paint.

Applying It Right! Getting PPF Installed By the Right Applicator Matters

So, you’ve decided to protect your beloved car with the best paint protection film in India. But the neighbourhood ‘car enthusiast’ tells you that he knows a guy, who knows a guy, who can get it done for the cheapest rate in the market.

Unfortunately, getting PPF installed by just any ‘guy’ can prove fatal to your car’s paint and its overall look. As much as it is a great idea to install car paint protection film in India to protect your ride, it is important you get it done by experts.

Here’s why you should only get experts to install your car’s PPF.

PPF installation is not an easy task

Car paint protection film in India is made of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) sheets applied to the surface of the car’s exterior body with extreme precision. It shields the car’s original body paint from environmental debris, scratches, rock chips and other abrasives that may cause damage. PPF helps in maintaining the new car showroom look by preventing scratches and UV rays from dulling your car’s shine. Installing car paint protection film in India may look easy in many videos online, but it is an extremely detailed and scientific process that can get time-consuming as well.

Stretching the film properly and placing it on the correct edges is one of the most technical and challenging parts of installing PPF on your car. If the PPF is not applied properly, it will leave stretch marks and air bubbles on the surface. If the cuts on the film are improper, it stands the risk of dust settling on the edges and of course lacking the proper finish means the car will look shoddy.

At CarzSpa, our trained installers have a keen eye for perfection and the subtle aspects of applying the films, to ensure you get the best out of your CarzSpa Aegis PPF. After all, no one details like we do.

Installation must be done in the right environment

Having a dedicated space for the PPF application matters a lot too. The application area should have enough room for the car to be in the centre, while the applicators have space to move around during the PPF application process. The bay must be away from the street, enclosed, well-lit, completely decontaminated, air-conditioned and dust-free.

Wondering why we’re being so particular? Most workshops or automobile repair shops that offer cheap PPF applications are located on the roadside with bustling traffic around. Further, these shops may not have proper lighting and enough space inside, let alone being dust-free or air conditioned, for them to apply the PPF with precision.

PPF application cannot be done at home or in any open space either. If anyone claims/offers to apply PPF on your car at your home, it clearly means they are untrained and lack knowledge about car paint protection. If the vehicle undergoes PPF installation in an unclean space, dust particles and contaminants will stick to the surface of the vehicle and film. This can damage the adhesive on the film, making the film rise in a short time after application.

Why your car needs paint protection

Everyday you take your car on the road exposes its surface to natural elements like UV rays, rain and bird droppings to pollutants like smoke, dirt and tar from the road, all of which can cause physical and chemical harm. Oxidation, dents, abrasions, scratches – all ways to kill the natural shine of your car.

The car’s paint is not enough to fight all these elements alone. Enter paint protection products like ceramic coating and PPF, which create a layer, almost like a second skin, on top of your car paint to protect it from all the natural and industrial aggressors that attack paint. And of course there is science behind it. Ceramic coating, Graphene and PPF each protects on the car paint based on a different scientific technique. More on this follows…

Types of Paint Protection Products

Ceramic Coating

Ceramic Coating for cars is a liquid polymer, which on applying to your car’s exterior, bonds with its factory paint and forms a semi-permanent layer of protection over it. Ceramic Coatings are formulated from the same raw material used in glass and ceramics – i.e. Silicon Dioxide or SiO2.

Graphene Coating

Graphene Coating for cars, is created with the addition of graphene to traditional ceramic coatings, creating a lightweight and yet strong coating, which repels dust, in addition to water. This is considered to be a breakthrough in vehicle coating technology.

Paint Protection Films

A paint protection film, or PPF, is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film that shields your car’s paint, defending it against environmental debris, scratches, rock chips and other abrasives. It is transparent, malleable and self-healing making it an advanced choice for protecting your car’s paint while retaining its showroom shine.

Ceramic Coatings vs Graphene Ceramic Coating vs PPF

Protection

Ceramic coatings are hydrophobic. This means they are water-repellant which makes it hard for dirt and dust to stick to it. Since the coating doesn’t really get dirty, it’s easier to clean too! Ceramic coatings also protect the paint from oxidation caused by UV-rays, almost like a sunscreen for your car.

Thanks to graphene’s anti-static properties, graphene ceramic coatings are dust-repelling, as well as, water-repelling. Basically, it won’t allow dust or any other flyaway particles to settle down on the surface of the car. In addition, graphene’s low heat retention property ensures that water does not evaporate on the paint, instead forming water beads that can slide off easily. Graphene’s honeycomb molecular structure imparts a high contact angle to water, making it easy for water to slide down the paint. This reduces the chance of water spots forming on paint.
