I recently discovered a miracle product – paint protection film scratch repair cream! It's a lifesaver for a novice like me! Every time I accidentally scratch the back of my car while driving, seeing those tiny scratches drives me crazy. Thankfully, with this repair cream, the problem is solved. Today, let's talk about this amazing product!
The Scratch Repair Principle of Paint Protection Film
Can paint protection film really repair scratches? The answer is yes! Paint protection film mainly consists of three parts: a TPU base layer, an adhesive layer, and a coating layer. The self-healing function is primarily determined by the coating layer. This coating is a special polymer made of TPU with a tightly packed molecular structure, retaining some fluidity even after curing. When the surface is disturbed, the chemicals in the coating react rapidly, forming new capsule-like substances, thus healing the scratch.
Under a microscope at 1000x magnification, you can see that the coating of the paint protection film resembles individual capsules, like the air bubbles in a cream puff. Once scratched or damaged, the capsule ruptures, releasing the chemical substances inside. These substances react rapidly above a critical temperature, forming new capsule-like substances, thus healing the scratch. However, it's important to note that this repair function has its limits. If the scratch is larger than the coating thickness, the film will be difficult to repair. But as long as the scratch doesn't damage the coating, it can theoretically be repaired indefinitely!
Different Brands of Paint Protection Films There are many well-known paint protection film brands on the market, each with its own unique features and advantages. IGE paint protection film uses its exclusive Athtemp® high-temperature resistant coating patented formula, which has high density and hardness, preventing scratches from damaging the film. When IGE's film is heated, scratches will gradually heal, and the car's surface will remain as shiny as ever.
