Gen 3 Glasscoat is an exterior and interior protection product that doesn’t need top-ups to maintain warranty.
The polysilazane technology used in the product was designed by NASA for use on space shuttle tiles. Paintseal says it is easy to apply in a one-step system and goes over black plastics without leaving white marks. It also works on glass, plastics and is great for alloy wheels, resisting pitting at temperatures of up to 900°C.
Gen 3’s OEM partners include Mobis- Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Lexus, Renault, Suzuki Subaru, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Jeep, Mitsubishi, Dacia, SsangYong, Koenigsegg, Lotus F1 and Williams F1. The paint is also used in marine and aviation applications with Boeing and Thomas Cook airlines adopting the product and many more trialling the product, Paintseal says.
Gen 3’s key features include:
- UV stable, non-fade, protects the painted surface from ultraviolet rays: UV-A 10-25%, UV-B 25-75%
- Self-cleaning properties, bird lime and tree sap-resistant
- Four times thicker than any PTFE teflon coating
- No top-ups or conservers needed and no waxes or abrasives are required; one application is all that’s needed
- Withstands temps up to 900°C
- Protects alloys from brake dust pitting
- Adheres to plastics, glass and even chrome exhausts
- Makes the surface hydrophobic
- Sets to the equivalent hardness of a 9h pencil lead
- Surface anti-fouling properties give planing effect of dirt and water
- Static coefficient of friction reduced by 43.8% cf untreated vehicle body surface
- Reduced scratching at the carwash due to lubricating surface effect
- Easier to wipe away water, leaving surface dry instead of streaky.
Paintseal says Gen 3 is unaffected by extreme temperature and is resistant to corrosives and chemical solvents.
As temperatures change, the product structure expands and contracts with the car body.
It can be applied to both new and used cars (subject to thorough prep and paintwork rectification) and is silicone-free.
The manufacturers say the smooth surface keeps dust and dirt away from the body surface for longer, and rain water and wet roads actually help keep the car cleaner for longer.
