Description
Metallic Glass — Advanced Nano Ceramic Coating (Spray‑Apply, Rapid Cure)
Product overview
Metallic Glass is a next‑generation nano‑ceramic coating engineered to simplify professional application while delivering durable, long‑term protection. Its spray‑and‑buff formula eliminates traditional time‑consuming cross‑hatch application methods: simply mist the surface and immediately buff with a lint‑free microfibre for an even, high‑performance film. The concentrated chemistry allows technicians to use less product while achieving consistent coverage and optimum film build.
Key performance characteristics
– True nano‑ceramic network: silica‑based nanoparticles form a densely crosslinked, low‑surface‑energy layer that resists chemicals, UV degradation and environmental contaminants.
– Long‑term protection: formulated and warranted to provide up to 5 years of protection under normal use and maintenance conditions (warranty terms apply).
– Rapid flash cure: instant flash‑off with full cure achievable in approximately 4 hours depending on ambient temperature, humidity and substrate conditions.
– Enhanced aesthetics: produces deep gloss, high reflectivity and improved color saturation on painted surfaces.
– Hydrophobic and self‑cleaning behaviour: high contact angles and rapid runoff reduce water spotting and ease maintenance.
– Economical coverage: one 50 mL bottle is designed to provide sufficient product for approximately three mid‑sized vehicles (coverage and vehicle size dependent).
Recommended application procedure
1. Surface preparation: Complete full wash, decontamination (claying), and paint correction/polishing as required. The substrate must be chemically decontaminated and wiped with an isopropanol or alcohol‑based panel wipe to remove oils and residues prior to coating.
2. Environment: Apply in a clean, dust‑free area with controlled temperature and humidity where possible. Avoid direct sunlight and hot panels.
3. Application: Shake product well. Lightly spray Metallic Glass onto one panel at a time or onto a clean, lint‑free microfibre. Immediately spread and buff the product using a fresh lint‑free microfibre towel until the surface is uniform and free of streaks. Work methodically panel‑by‑panel to ensure even coverage.
4. Curing: Allow the coating to flash and thermally crosslink. Ambient cure time to handle is typically ~4 hours; full hardness development continues over subsequent days. Avoid exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures or heavy soiling during the initial cure window.
5. Maintenance: Use pH‑neutral shampoos and routine maintenance sprays to prolong longevity. Follow warranty maintenance schedule where applicable.
Technical notes and limitations
– Proper surface preparation is critical to coating longevity and performance; poor prep will reduce durability and visual results.
– Cure time is influenced by ambient temperature and humidity; cooler or more humid conditions will extend cure times.
– Compatibility with existing sealants or coatings should be verified; when overcoating, ensure prior layers are fully cured and compatible.
pricing: 50 mL bottle — RRP £99.95. Typical economy: sufficient to coat three mid‑sized vehicles (approx. £33.31 cost per vehicle; actual coverage varies with technique and vehicle size).
