Market Introduction
Automotive coatings are protective materials applied to the exterior of an automobile. The main purpose of these coatings is to protect the vehicle’s paint and other surfaces from damage. They can be made from a variety of materials, such as glass, ceramic, and polymer. Ceramic paint coatings offer greater protection, though they are more expensive. Paint sealants, another common type of automotive coating, are used to fill pores to prevent damage.
Automotive coatings are typically made of three layers: primer, basecoat, and clearcoat. The primer is the first layer applied to the car’s body. The basecoat provides the car’s color and finish, whereas the clearcoat protects the paint system from external elements and adds gloss. Automotive coatings are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water and make it easier to clean the automobile. Besides, automotive coatings help maintain the car’s shine.
