Posted by Permagard India on July 17th, 2021

Do you know what a car paint protection film (PPF) is? Have you ever thought of protecting your car with a PPF? Your car is among the most significant assets that you purchase and possess. Keeping the car well-maintained and making it look good with a quality PPF is essential. Different brands offer various types of paint protection film in the market.

None of us wish to see our car roughed up or dirty daily. If you want your car to look perfect with a glossy finish and plan to preserve the car’s value to the highest standard, then PPF is worth it.

PPF can be considered a modern marvel. Are you still confused about whether you should get PPF on your car or not? Here is a complete blog that will make you aware of various facts about PPF.

The different types of paint protection film have almost the same physical construction. PPF is broken into four layers.

  • Polyester Release Liner – It is the PPF’s bottom layer. Once it is removed, it will expose the material that bonds to the car’s surface.
  • Acrylic adhesive – It is a bit thinner and provides the durability of the bond.
  • Polyurethane – PPF is majorly made up of polyurethane. It provides depth and strength to the car paint protection film.
  • Clearcoat – It is like the PPF’s surface layer. It helps a ceramic coating like Ceramic Pro to bond on the PPF’s top.
