Car Paint Protection Film

I. What Are Paint Protection Films?

Maybe, you might have already seen or heard about car paint protective films, but you just didn’t recognize it because it goes by several names like clear bra, clear wrap, invisible shield, clear mask, and more. Nonetheless, it is generally composed of three layers, and they are:

1. Clear Coat

The first layer of the film is called the clear coat, and it has a thickness of approximately 0.5 millimeters and is the one that is exposed to the environment. It is crafted from specialized elastomeric polymers that have a natural, self-healing property or the ability to quickly return to its original shape even when it is disfigured, stretched out, or scratched.

Additionally, this compound also has a very low surface energy level that is why organic objects like pests and bird poops won’t cling to it.

2. Polyurethane

With the help of the 3M Company, urethane was first used by the US Military for their fighter jet’s noses and was followed by the aerospace and race car industries. It is a type of substance that is lightweight, transparent, versatile, and powerful that can be compared to plastic but unlike plastic, it has high resistance to abrasions, corrosions, and impacts while still being flexible. As such, it can also go back to its natural shape each time it is scratched, stretched, or disfigured.

3. Adhesive

The next layer is the part that allows the film to cling to your car’s body. In the past, car paint protection films would turn yellow after some time, and the one that was responsible for that was the adhesive’s constant exposure to the sun. With that in regard, manufacturers developed an adhesive that is resistant to UV rays and oxidation.
