Ceramic Polymer Nanotechnology is a complete departure from both the current thinking, as well as the standard chemistry of virtually all protective products for automotive surface protection and beautification.

To understand what Ceramic Polymer Nanotechnology is we should first explain what it ISN’T.

 

This will require an explanation of all of the standard car waxes and specialty finishes currently being mass marketed today. This is not terribly difficult since SILICON is the primary ingredient in nearly every commercial (wholesale, specialty, and retail) sealant, wax and protectant in virtually every standard product on the market today.

 It makes no difference if the products are described as containing Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Acrylic or Silicate, as all synthetic paint sealants utilize Silicone as the binding agent in order to form a film of temporary protection and gloss.

 

However, here is the problem with all of these products.

 

• The Silicon Resin is highly sensitive to changes in pH (extremes in acidity & alkalinity.) 

  • Premature breakdown due to: 

    • Exposure to moderately alkaline materials like road grime (pH 9 or greater.)

    • Exposure to acidic pollutants like acid rain and Bird Droppings (pH 3 or lower.)

    • Exposure to UV rays.

    • Washing with strong detergents

       

• The silicone resins will migrate from the finish causing insufficient protection and film failure. Regardless of how well maintained or how often the surface is washed, eventually the organic binder will oxidize due to ultra-violet exposure and the need for periodic reapplications (removal of surface coating and reapplication every 4-6 months.) 

• The result is a form of enhancement and protection that is spotty and short-lived. For this reason these products tend to take on a life of their own. You are constantly attending to them because they require regular and continual attention to maintain both protection and appearance.

Comparing Nano to Silicones 

The real and important difference between Silicon-based products and Nano Ceramic chemistry is in the type of CHEMICAL BOND that is at work between the coating and the painted surface, and also between the individual layers of the Nano Ceramic coatings themselves. (In other words, how it sticks to the paint - or other automotive surfaces - and how it sticks to itself).

 

 

Ceramic Polymer Nanotechnology paint protection works on the atomic level as opposed to Silicon-based products that work on the molecular level.

The result is a surface that:

• entirely repels water & oil 

• nearly self-cleaning

  • due to the anti-static properties imparted by the molecular 3D grid structure and the application procedures that produce the proper surface coating structure.

• forms a protective, glossy layers of ceramic-like / Glass-like matrices on the vehicle‘s finish with very strong cross-linked covalent bonds. 

• However, the outstanding characteristic of Nano Ceramic Protect for hard painted surfaces lies in the fact that it is EXTREMELY HARD! But, you ask, how hard is “extremely hard”?

  • An internationally recognized European-based testing laboratory tested the product and awarded to it a formal certification for hardness rated at 9H on the hardness scale.

    • To understand and appreciate what that means they rate steel at a hardness of 13H. Comparatively speaking, this means our premier product, Nano Ceramic Protect Hard 9H, is 69.2% as hard as steel! But, at the same time, it is crystal clear and flexible. Think of a thin sheet of stainless steel that was flexible, crystal clear and could be bonded to your car from a bottle! AMAZING! 

The Key is Covalent Bonds as Opposed to Ionic Bonds - 

The covalent bond is a type of very strong chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, compared to ionic (weaker) and static charge (even weaker) interactions used by other paint protection systems.
Our Nano Ceramic Protect polymer is a large molecule (macromolecule) composed of repeating structural units typically connected by covalent chemical bonds, the strongest bond known to man.

In the case of standard waxes and non-polymer, non-organic type products, these usually exist as crystalline structures (e.g. inorganic salts or silicates) and are held together and crystallize on the surface by ionic bonding forces. This is a weaker type of bond as opposed to the covalent bond. These forces are not strong enough to prevent re-crystallization of the silicate upon exposure to water or moisture.

 

 

• Nano Ceramic Protect Hard 9h surface paint protection film layer(s) adhere to the finish while maintaining even greater internal bonding properties, Ceramic Polymer Nanotechnology paint protection resins and the matrices they form with nanoparticles will not breakdown or release from the surface.

Why?

1. Because these linkages and their internal forces are maintained in a three-dimensional polymeric matrix. This is unlike the weaker two-dimensional silicone arrangement.

2. The result is a ceramic-like membrane of protection that seals out all oxidative elements while sealing in a deep-gloss shine - not for months, but for YEARS.

3. Remember when we discussed how acidic and alkaline conditions and other environmental conditions were the “Kiss of Death” for standard Silicon ionic bonding products? Nano Ceramic Protect’s surface preparations are totally unaffected by all types of acidic and alkaline materials, from acid rain, tree sap and bugs to road salt and bird droppings!

 

Determining Value 

Anytime a new product enters the market it sets off a tidal wave of imitators and cheap knock-offs(especially from Asia - the knock-off capital of the universe!!)

 

The entire purpose of our providing you with this short course on Nano Ceramic Technology is to help you understand this market, and how these products work, and how they stack up against each other. In a new and unfamiliar market, the uninformed consumer can be sold pretty much anything with a cheap price tag because they don’t know any better.

In this market, we like to point out that the definition of a “Bargain” is when you actually get what you pay for. What does that mean? Nano chemistry is very involved and very high-tech. It requires state-of-the-art facilities, precise chemical components, and a very careful and precise production discipline. All this combines to produce a superior end product. This cannot be produced in a garage or someone’s basement!

There are a large number of products pretending to be Nanotechnology but are just modified Silicon or other plastic resins. Some of these can actually damage a car’s finish!

Others are inferior Nano polymers made of second-rate materials and not using the correct clean room environment or not using chemists properly educated in Nano Chemistry. There are many of those flooding the market and taking advantage of uneducated consumers.

 

However, if you were to take the greatest Nano Ceramic product ever produced and put it in the hands of a totally inexperienced technician who then attempts to apply it to an automobile finish, you have a guaranteed disaster!

In the end, the finest Nano Ceramic product is only as good as the technician who applies it. Any true Nano Ceramic product improperly applied is not only a total waste of time and money, but an expensive headache to correct! Remember, once it bonds - it BONDS! (No quick wipe-on solvent will remove it). 

Proper application is absolutely critical. 

Nano Ceramic Protect paintwork products are NOT consumer products. They are products that must be applied by a properly trained and certified technician in a properly equipped and configured facility.

We ONLY sell our products to professionals who are certified to do applications and we provide this training and certification.

Not all car owners have the same requirements for the durability of a paint protection and the same budget. That is why multiple consecutive coats offer increasingly great protection than just a single coat. While a single coat will most certainly give excellent protection it will not last as long as, let us say, three coats.
