For those who want a fusion of remarkable protection and supreme style in a single product, color PPF is the best option, and if it is composed of Lubrizol TPU, it stands unrivaled. This exceptional material has gained recognition as the gold standard in car paint protection. Known for its high durability and self-healing properties, Lubrizol’s advanced TPU technology shields vehicles from harsh elements in the environment, allowing your paint protection film to give long-lasting performance. Let's explore in detail the benefits of choosing Lubrizol TPU-based paint protection film.
What is Lubrizol TPU?
Lubrizol TPU is an advanced material that combines specialty thermoplastic polyurethane polymers that display outstanding physical and functional properties. A paint protection film made with Lubrizol TPU is a cut above the rest. It combines the strength of plastic with the elasticity of rubber, making it highly suitable for applications that require durability, flexibility, and resilience. Lubrizol holds the distinction of inventing TPU in 1959. Since then, it has driven continuous innovation, setting higher standards for quality
Why is Lubrizol TPU the best for paint protection film?
Lubrizol TPU is considered the best choice for paint protection film for many reasons. Peter Kirk, the Global Market Segment Manager at Lubrizol, states: “The ingredients within your film have a major influence on the long-term performance of PPF. For PPF manufacturers, the right TPU is critical to ensuring three primary performance attributes: aesthetics, durability, and conformability." Let’s see what the benefits of using Lubrizol TPU for manufacturing the paint protection film are.
Unmatched Quality and Reliability
Lubrizol TPU, used for high-grade paint protection films, is made with premier polymers that guarantee exceptional quality, improving the life of the PPF and maintaining the exquisite look of your vehicle. This is one of the main components of the TeckWrap Color PPFs, designed to proudly uphold the highest standards of performance and protection.
Versatile Application
Lubrizol TPU delivers the same high level of protection and durability in both clear and color paint protection films. When used to manufacture transparent PPFs, it maintains optical clarity and upgrades the overall appearance of your car’s OEM paint. In color PPFs, it ensures that deep, rich tones are maintained without fading or losing their vibrancy. This is why all the shades of TeckWrap Color PPF hold their depth and vitality even under harsh conditions.
Exceptional Car Paint Protection
A paint protection film made with Lubrizol TPU provides an excellent shield for your vehicle against scratches, rock chips, road debris, tar, chemical exposure through tree sap, bird droppings, bug splatter, and corrosive pollution such as acid rain, and other daily wear and tear. Your car maintains its factory finish and, consequently, its resale value.
UV and Weather Resistance
Lubrizol-based PPF withstands the toughest outdoor conditions, offering superior resistance to UV rays, heat, rain, and environmental pollutants. This advanced protection prevents yellowing, fading, and surface degradation, allowing the film to retain its strength and finish even after years of exposure. It does not get orange peel either.
Superior Flexibility in Paint Protection Film
This is the thermoplastic polyurethane with great flexibility, allowing paint protection films to adapt smoothly to even the most complex curves, edges, and contours of your vehicle. The company mentions, “Lubrizol-based PPF has consistent stretch properties for mating to the surface with ease, accommodating the most intricate vehicle geometries.” This allows flawless, bubble-free installation. By combining strength with elasticity, this TPU makes it possible to achieve a perfect PPF fit.
Advanced Self-healing Technology
The attributes of a paint protection film to self-heal and resist stains are enhanced manifold due to this material. Minor scratches and swirl marks automatically repair with heat or sunlight, keeping the film looking brand new. This regenerative quality helps maintain a smooth surface while keeping the vehicle’s exterior fresh and well-protected over time.
Ease of Installation
A paint protection film with great stretchability, excellent adhesion, and adaptability is always easy to install. You can work with it without worrying about overstretching the top coat. You will be amazed at how well it conforms, without wasting time and resources, consequently improving the profit margin for professional installers. A PPF made with Lubrizol TPU is always a reliable choice.
Lubrizol-based Paint Protection Film vs Other PPF Materials
This is the big question? Why is Lubrizol TPU the gold standard for paint protection films? What makes it different from other thermoplastic polyurethane PPFs? Standard PPF options may provide basic protection, but they often fall short in areas such as clarity, durability, and resistance to yellowing. Over time, these films can lose their transparency, develop cracks, or fail to protect against everyday damage.
By contrast, Lubrizol TPU PPF is crafted for long-lasting performance. It offers self-healing properties that repair light scratches with heat, superior flexibility for easier installation, and UV resistance that helps prevent discoloration. This combination maintains the showroom-like shine and finish of your car.
