The materials and technologies of PPF：
- Smart damage detection layer: Embeds micro-sensors that interact with smartphone apps to alert users of hidden impacts or coating wear via subtle color shifts.
- Multi-layer optical coating: Combines anti-reflective and color-enhancing layers to boost paint color saturation by 5-8% while maintaining high light transmittance.
- Antibacterial and mold-resistant coating technology: Silver ion antibacterial agent is added to the membrane surface, which inhibits the growth of mold and bacteria in humid environments. This technology is particularly suitable for long-term use in areas with frequent rainfall and high humidity.
- AI-powered installation assistant: Uses augmented reality (AR) glasses to guide installers through precise alignment, reducing labor time by 30%.
- Energy-harvesting film: Integrates photovoltaic cells to generate 0.5W/m2 of power for vehicle electronics.
