Properties and advantages of polyurethane coating
The polyurethane-based paint protection film has both advantages and disadvantages. However, advantages do prevail:
- High strength. The transparent paint protection film protects your car against scratches, chips, and even from being hit by a nearby car door.
- Sufficient light transmittance. The paint protection film features good light transmittance. Due to this, you do not need to cover the entire body: the film will not stand out.
- Practicability. The film is elastic and flexible. It stretches easily and quickly returns to its original size. The paint protection film does not change its properties when exposed to low or high temperatures.
In addition, the film will extend the body's service life and preserve its surface for a long time.
The paint protection film required no special care.
How to apply the film
There is only a wet method for applying the film. It is used when you want to cover the whole body or a large area. Suitable for application on complex structures. Before you start, you need to treat the body with a soap solution: it is much easier to apply the film afterwards. After removing the air and moister and cutting off the excess, you need to wait for it to dry.
Paint protection film composition
