The materials and technologies of PPF：
- Biodegradable adhesive: Breaks down in industrial composting facilities within 180 days, certified by DIN EN 13432.
- Low-residue removable technology: The adhesive uses a reversible cross-linking formula. After long-term use, when removing it, there will be no residue of glue, and it will not damage the original paint and clear coat layer. This makes it convenient for later replacement or maintenance.
- OE-K02 Automotive OEM Certification: Meets original equipment manufacturer standards for adhesion and durability.
- Thermochromic color-shifting film: Changes color with temperature variations (e.g., blue at 25°C, red at 35°C), adding dynamic visual appeal.
- Dynamic impact dispersion technology: Integrates micro-elastic buffers within the TPU matrix to分散 and absorb impact energy from high-speed debris, reducing paint indentation risk by over 60%.
- Instant repair trigger for micro scratches: Optimizing the molecular activity threshold of TPU, it can quickly activate the repair mechanism at temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius or slight friction (such as towel wiping), shortening the response time for minor scratch repair.
- FDA Food Contact Compliance: Approved for indirect food contact, suitable for food delivery vehicles.
- Solvent-free adhesive process: The adhesive uses a 100% solvent-free pressure-sensitive adhesive formula, eliminating the risk of solvent evaporation residue and enhancing the environmental friendliness and long-term adhesion stability of the construction.
- Low haze light transmission technology: Through substrate purification and mirror-level polishing of the coating, light scattering on the film surface is reduced, minimizing the “white fog” phenomenon under sunlight, and maintaining the original color tone of the car paint.
