Bonding layer
The bonding layer is the adhesion interface between paint and a protective coating. Correct degreasing with an IPA wipe significantly improves bonding.

Sealants & protective coatings
Wax, polymer, hybrid and ceramic systems differ in preparation, layer build-up, curing, maintenance and durability. Application guides the process.
Topic
Sealants & protective coatings in practice
Wax, polymer, hybrid and ceramic systems differ in preparation, layer build-up, curing, maintenance and durability. Paint condition comes before the product name.
Carnauba wax
Carnauba wax is a natural premium wax derived from the carnauba palm. It creates warm, deep gloss and offers moderate durability, particularly for show cars.
Read the explanationCeramic coating
Ceramic coatings provide long-term protection, strong hydrophobic behaviour and high chemical resistance.
Read the explanationCeramic coating (SiO2)
Silicon-dioxide-based ceramic coatings form a hard, chemically resistant protective layer. They provide long-term protection, strong hydrophobic behaviour and increased resistance to light wear.
Read the explanationCuring time
Curing time is the period a protective coating needs to harden. Depending on the system, the surface must remain dry and untouched during this time.
Read the explanationGraphene coating
Graphene coatings use graphene structures to provide strong chemical resistance and an especially slick surface.
Read the explanationHybrid sealant
Hybrid sealants combine wax and synthetic polymers to balance gloss and durability.
Read the explanationMontan wax
Montan wax is a synthetic wax known for durable protection.
Read the explanationNano sealant
Nano sealants create a protective layer using nanostructured components.
Read the explanationPTFE protection
PTFE protection systems use fluorinated polymers to create a chemically resistant protective layer.
Read the explanationPaint protection
Paint protection includes waxes, sealants and ceramic protection systems.
Read the explanationPaint protection film (PPF)
Paint protection film is a transparent film that protects against stone chips and scratches.
Read the explanationPaint sealant
Paint sealants protect against UV exposure, chemicals, dirt and water.
Read the explanationPolymer sealant
Polymer sealants form durable synthetic paint protection.
Read the explanationQuartz sealant
Quartz sealants are based on silicon dioxide and create a resistant protective layer.
Read the explanationSealant
Sealants are synthetic paint-protection products with durable protective performance.
Read the explanationSealant protection
Sealants protect surfaces against UV exposure, chemicals, water and dirt.
Read the explanationSiO2
SiO2 is silicon dioxide and a central component in many ceramic coatings.
Read the explanationSynthetic sealant
Synthetic sealants provide durable protection and strong chemical resistance.
Read the explanationTwo-component coating
Two-component coatings combine a base coat and top coat as a coordinated protection system.
Read the explanationWax
Wax provides gloss and protection, usually with shorter durability than synthetic sealants.
Read the explanationWet coat
A wet coat is a spray sealant activated on wet paint and then rinsed away.
