Experience Ceramic Coatings by ClearFX

Pure Protection.

ClearFX is a range of professional solutions chemically engineered for automotive surface protection and modification. ClearFX attogenetic solutions are formulated to generate a clear, crystalline coating that impregnates and protects the substrate underneath.

ClearFX seals and strengthens surface structure using Attogenetic Surface Engineering, where the protective substance infinitesimally bonds with the surface all the way to its root and increases complete structural volume, density and hardness. The graphene infusion lends remarkable hardness, elasticity and lightness.

The science behind ClearFX is the process of attogenesis, where an aqueous chemical solution engages with a porous surface to achieve mechanical adhesion through molecular interlocking, then cohesively extends itself with a protective layer on top. The resulting structure is a denser amalgamation with increased volume from self-arranging crystallization, and increased hardness from intrinsically bonded molecules in their final state.

Tested to surpass, certified to protect

Besting global standards for testing and authenticating automotive chemical compounds, ClearFX has been rated to perform exceedingly well under overtly extreme conditions a vehicle faces when used in the harshest of environments. Coupled with more and more cars worldwide attesting to its resilience, strength and durability, ClearFX Attogenetic Surface Engineering protection gives peace of mind when and where it matters most.

• Hard: ASTM-D3363 Pencil Hardness TestNo scratches observed after testing at 10H, ensuring a hard, protective armor against scrapes and scores
• Resistant: JIS-K5400 Alkali Resistance, Acid Immersion and Salt Solution Resistance TestsNo abnormalities or changes after partial immersion in alkaline, acidic and salt solutions, demonstrating consistent protection across a wide range of pH levels

Where does ClearFX stand vs. other coatings?

ClearFX is an extremely durable protective solution with chemistry similar to nano-coating products, which are often referred to as ceramic or glass coatings. Though these nano-coatings are called "ceramic" or "glass" and the terms are used interchangeably in the industry, it is important to note that nano-coatings do not use and are not even based on ceramic technology. ClearFX is not, either.

The word "ceramic" has become an industry buzzword to describe the characteristics of nano-coatings being hard and durable, similar to a ceramic finish, and that is all there is to the term. Instead, the accurate way to describe nano-coating products is "nanotechnologies," because they use nano-chemistry to achieve their intended results of hardness and durability.

So what is ClearFX and how is it different from nano-coatings? ClearFX may be similar to nano-coatings in that they are both based on the same foundational chemistry of crystallization and hardness, but the difference is that ClearFX enhances and supersedes traditional chemical composition by using attogenetic technology to advance both resistance and longevity.

The prefix "atto" signifies the depth of scale at which the protective solution interacts with and operates on the refined substrate it is introduced to—an automotive surface in this context. Atto- denotes a factor of 10−18, or 0.000000000000000001. In contrast to nano-, which denotes only a factor of 10−9, or 0.000000001, atto-scale operates at a much tinier level than nano-scale—twice the power, to be exact, which means atto-scale is exponentially smaller by definition. This vast dive in scale is how ClearFX refines the silica oxide chemistry by using a denser raw material and formulaic base.

The ClearFX formula can penetrate deeper into a substrate and interact on an exponentially smaller, denser scale than traditional nano-style coatings. This deep-scale action is also why ClearFX has the ability to engage beyond just the top surface of an automotive finish, in contrast to coatings that operate only superficially at the nano-level. This difference in action is because automotive paint, when atomized and sprayed onto a vehicle, creates a framework/structure on a nano-molecular scale; thus, any nano-based technology is unable to penetrate below the surface because their particles are simply too large or equally dense to go down at all and do any kind of work within the underlying substrate.

The depth of scale at which ClearFX operates gives it the ability to penetrate the top surface to add and imbue chemical strength, durability and integrity to the original substrate; while still providing hard and resistant top surface coverage. This dual action increases the durability and resistance of the automotive finish permanently, because ClearFX cannot be removed once applied and saturated into the original surface structure without mechanically abrading it altogether with the paint finish itself.

Another difference that attogenetic technology brings is its denser structure, still by nature of its smaller component chemistry than nano-coatings. This property, by default, lets it produce more durability and a harder surface even with just a single application. Density brings about hardness, just as a dense brick wall is much more difficult to penetrate and damage than a soft, wooden wall, which is less dense and therefore easier to damage. ClearFX works in the exact same way—by adding a denser foundational chemistry to the vehicle, it achieves by default a more durable finish resulting in better protection and more longevity with fewer applications than traditional nano-coatings.

ClearFX further advances this attogenetic paint protection technology with the strength and lightness of graphene. Infused with a particular atomic-scale carbon lattice, the ClearFX® attogenetic formula modified with partially reduced graphene oxide takes on great stability and flexibility with a very high tensile strength, allowing it to embody properties of the material known to be harder than diamond, more elastic than rubber, tougher than steel and lighter than aluminum.

Compared with traditional ceramic coatings, ClearFX with graphene:

• Bonds better: its chemical structure exposes greater surface area to adhere to thanks to its higher resin loading
• Is less prone to water spots: its heat-diffusive structure reduces the rate of evaporation so minerals can wash off with water instead of getting left behind to form deposits;
• Slides water off easier: its lower sliding angle evacuates water effortlessly giving the surface highly dynamic hydrophobicity, unlike the static hydrophobicity of traditional coatings;
• Beads easier and self-cleans: its higher contact angle lets water roll off better like marbles, picking up and carrying away contaminants as they get moving;
• Repels stains better: its atom-tight framework means virtually no penetration of contaminants like bugs, sap, droppings, dust, fallout and others;
• Resists scratches better: its remarkable elasticity while stiffly holding its shape boosts both hardness and flexibility for greater scratch/mar resistance;
• Is slicker and glossier: its atom-sized honeycomb structure brings unmatched smoothness and even finish;
• Is universally applicable: its high level of adhesion and pan-substrate affinity allows its use on multiple surfaces beyond paint such as trim, glass, and wheels.

Multiple applications of ClearFX will still install a physically measurable, thicker layer on top of the automotive finish, just like nano-coatings. As such, ClearFX does everything a nano-coating does, but it just does them all better and then some—providing the best characteristics that nano-coatings can bring, then effortlessly delivers so much more through its superior engineering.
