What is Nanotechnology?

To quote the legendary Jedi Master Yoda – “size matters not.” This epic quote from The Empire Strikes Back has been used in and out of context to describe a fundamental concept that holds true – just because something is small, doesn’t mean it’s not powerful. Except for a microfiber towel for drying – then bigger is always better.

This describes the power of nano technology. It is an engineering science that was introduced as a concept during a conference at Caltech in 1959. It became practical in 1981, and today, it’s used in defense aerospace, communications, and of course, the car care industry. Nanotechnology develops solutions for items smaller than 100 nanometers.

So, how big is a nanometer?

A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. That size is hard to comprehend, so here are some visual cues. An inch measures 25,400,000 nanometers. One piece of paper is nearly 100,000 thick. Or how about this one, let’s say that one marble measured (1) nanometer. On that scale, the planet Earth would measure (1) meter. Nanotechnology is infused in a professional grade and some DIY coatings, but also high-quality paint protection film like Kavaca.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”2″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h2″ text_color=”#ea316f” button_color=”default” button_border_thickness=”0px” link_type=”regular” alignment=”center” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” text=”Find Out How Affordable Ceramic Pro Can Be!” link_text=”Get Your FREE Estimate Here!”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”2″ divider_color=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”9594″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]

What is a Nano Coating?

A nano ceramic coating, a scientifically formulated solution meant to penetrate microscopic imperfections, fill those gaps in the top range of the nanoscale, and provide a layer of protection that’s nearly as strong as solid quartz. 9H ceramic coating work by bonding with the existing surface to form a protective nano-ceramic shield on the surface.

Nano polymers bond with the surface and create an invisible shield with extreme hardness. It’s this hardness and protective coat that permits the car’s exterior to look great with minimal maintenance.

This paint coating allows the sub surface to remain better protected and minimizes preventable damage from staining and damaging protected surfaces.

Nano ceramic coatings are ideal in preventing and minimizing damage including chemical stains, UV damage and oxidation with easier cleaning requirements and an enhanced gloss.

What Are the Benefits of a Nanoceramic Coating?

Applying a coating like Ceramic Pro is a proactive way to protect your vehicle from harmful agents that can damage it, lead to oxidation, corrosion, and eventually the development of rust. Once it’s cured, it provides multiple benefits including the following.

Blocks Chemical Stains

Chemical Stains are both unsightly and quite difficult to remove from a paint‘s surface. With the addition of a nano ceramic coating, your car adds defense against most common chemical stains that otherwise stain unprotected surfaces.

In the event a strong chemical meets a protective coated surface, the coating blocks it in its tracks. This resistant technology helps alleviate costly paint correction procedures and enables otherwise harmful chemicals from penetrating into the clear coat and damaging the beautiful paint that lies underneath the protected surface.

Reduces UV Damage & Oxidation

Preventing UV damage and premature oxidation are ceramic coatings bread and butter. These coatings are specifically formatted to reflect ultraviolet rays and enable the coats to both look better and stay better protected from the harsh rays of the sun.

UV damage typically occurs because of lack of maintenance or upkeep especially in coastal areas that have high salinity in the air. The salt, sun and humidity all contribute to harmful damage over time. However, with the addition of ceramic coatings, the coat acts as an invisible shield between contaminants penetrating to the clear coat.

After paint correction, the vehicles paintwork is flat, free of debris, and scratches. Essentially, it in tip-top shape and ready for a sealant that cures at 9H hardness. That’s what Ceramic Pro 9H accomplishes. This protective coating comprised of silicon dioxide reflects UV damage and in turn prevents oxidation from occurring in a properly maintained nano ceramic surface. Think of nanoceramic coatings as a layer of sunscreen that resists UV damage on the vehicle.

Improves Cleaning Ability

If you’ve spent long hours meticulously cleaning your vehicle, raise your hand. The ritual of car care is truly an appreciated task that’s embraced by passionate car enthusiasts everyday across the globe. But there comes a time when this process becomes tedious, daunting, and quite frankly – frustrating.

With the addition of a nano-ceramic coating to a vehicle, the paint adds the super hydrophobic effect of reduced cleaning times. Thanks to the high gloss hydrophobic finish of the ceramic nanoparticle formulation, dirt and grime easily wipe off a protected surface far easier than a non-protected surface.

What once took scrubbing and harsh chemicals to remove built on dirt, now easily washes off with water from a hose.

Amplifies Paint Shine

If keeping a vehicle in elite condition with a high gloss finish is important to you, then ceramic coatings are a great, low maintenance option to keep that glossy coat shining for the long run. All the Ceramic Pro standard sets finish with high gloss shines and this keeps cars looking great for months and years to come.

The thin layer of transparent glass created by the hardening of Ceramic Pro not only blocks damaging contaminants and amazing scratch resistance, but it also amplifies the luster of what’s underneath. This is a major reason why polishing, clay bar treatment, and prep work is required prior to application.

Here is a practical example. If you apply a high-quality glass coating on a clear coat that contains scratches, swirl marks, tree sap stains, and other damage, those imperfections will be amplified. However, if you have a professional detailer repair those imperfections first, that nearly perfect paint will appear glossy, deeper, and rich.

How Does a Nano Coating Compare with Car Wax?

Comparing wax with a nano coating is not apples and oranges; it’s closer to apples to a perfectly cooked Rib Eye from The Golden Steer in Las Vegas. From the hardness of the coat, the curing process and the warranties provided, the comparisons between these two paint protection options are night and day. Let’s explore a few in the info below.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkI02ZtDNTs”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]

Nano Ceramic Coating Hardness vs. Wax Hardness

One of the biggest differences between wax and ceramic coatings is the level of hardness provided. This means that, relative to ceramic coating, the wax is substantially less rigid and thus less protective. This is because of how the hardness of wax is provided.

Natural carnauba wax is the main ‘ingredient’ that contributes to the hardness that wax provides. It’s from a palm tree that is native to Brazil, that secretes on the leaves to protect it from that intense tropical sunlight. Once it cures, it provides a hardness that is rated between two and four on the reliable pencil scale (with 1 being soft and 9 being as hard as quartz).

With nano-ceramic coatings provided by Ceramic Pro, we have developed a coating that ranks on the pencil hardness scale as a 9. This incredibly hard ceramic coat thus is incredibly hard to rub off and can only be removed by thorough abrasion.

Compare our pro-grade coat to your run-of-the-mill wax and many waxes wash or wipe off after just a few months. This added harness from nano-ceramic coatings provide long term protection backed by warranties.

Warranties

Ever seen a wax with a lifetime warranty on the label? The answer – a hard NOPE. Synthetic or natural wax itself can hold up for a few months, however, there are just too many unknown variables that simply eliminate the potential of a warranty. How much wax or paint sealant was applied? Was it removed too soon or maybe the vehicle’s paintwork was not clean – which leads to poor results? Those are all legitimate questions that prohibit any warranty protection with waxes.

At Ceramic Pro, all the ceramic packages are backed by a warranty of at least six months (for introductory packages) all the way to lifetime warranties for Gold packages. This level of confidence in the product exemplifies the difference in protective capabilities over long periods of time. Plus, we offer specialized formulations like Ceramic Pro Rain, made specifically for windows and windshields.

Curing Process

Another distinctive factor that separates waxes from ceramic coatings is the curing process on car paint. One of the benefits of using a wax or sealant is the common individual can apply this wax by hand. This results in lower labor costs but also opens the door for common application mistakes that typically cause more problems down the line.

A high-quality nanocoating is applied by specially trained ceramic coating technicians and cured in a controlled environment. This controlled environment allows a perfect temperature and climate that facilitates the coat to properly bond with the vehicle’s paint. Our coating solutions can be applied to paint protection film, for the ultimate shield of protection.

What’s the Best Ceramic Coating for Cars?

If you’re read all the information above, a clear winner is obvious. We’ve designed a professional-grade ceramic coating that blends proprietary percentages of SiO2 (silicon dioxide), TiO2 (titanium dioxide) and other secrete solvents. It is only applied by certified and highly-trained installation experts and can be layered to provide protection for 10 years or more. The final top coat puts the cherry on top of protection, delivering a super slippery and hydrophobic surface that lasts longer than DIY products.

There are package options to fit any budget, any car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, or off-road vehicle. It can be purchased for marine or industrial applications and is much higher quality than cheaper DIY ceramic coatings that simply don’t work as advertised. Our professional grade nano-coat simply doesn’t compare with a car wax or paint sealants. It truly stands on its own level.

If you’re looking to upgrade your paint protection options with a ceramic coating, complete some research first. Make sure to pick one that does what it says, works as advertised, and provides the durability and high gloss features you’d expect from a professional-grade solution.
