BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGY
DCUK Self-Heal Coatings - are game-changing nanotechnology coatings that revolutionizes surface protection. These heat-activated, hand-applied wonders come packed with self-healing properties, drawing inspiration from a blend of organic and inorganic decazane materials used in various cutting-edge industries. With applications spanning high-temperature resistance in aerospace, salt corrosion resistance in maritime vessels, and potent acid and alkali resistance in semiconductors.
Our sophisticated formulas showcase the pinnacle of vehicle surface defense, featuring exceptional bonding strength that enables DCUK coatings to adhere to a diverse range of surfaces, including paint, glass, plastic, metal, and ceramic. Setting itself apart, REGENERATE coatings outshine traditional SiO2/SiC ceramic coatings, providing five times the resistance against corrosion, oxidation and 100% UV resistance.
Developed through extensive R&D and the incorporation of advancements in automotive paint protection coating technology, DCUK unveils a range of heat-activated, self-healing coating serums that boast unparalleled gloss and hydrophobic properties.
RENEW Self-Healing Coatings are a cutting-edge nanotechnology coating system proudly developed right here in the United Kingdom. These innovative coatings offers a range of impressive features and applications that set them apart in the field of Nano surface protection:
-
Self-Healing Properties: One of the RENEW serie's standout features is there self-healing capabilities. When the coating is exposed to heat, it can repair minor scratches and imperfections on its own. This property makes it highly resilient against wear and tear over time.
-
Diverse Applications: RENEW coatings are versatile and can be applied to various surfaces, including paint, glass, plastic, metal, powder coating, vinyl and paint protection film. This versatility allows them to protect a wide range of materials in different industries and on many types of surfaces.
-
High-Temperature Resistance: In accordance with industry standards, RENEW coatings can withstand high temperatures, making it a valuable choice for protecting against extreme heat, engine bay compartments, wheels and brake calipers, high friction areas and surfaces exposed to many types of extreme heat.
-
Salt Corrosion Resistance: DCUK coatings provide robust resistance against salt corrosion, helping to extend the lifespan of your vehicles and reduce maintenance costs.
-
Acid and Alkali Resistance: In just about all applications, the coating offers strong protection against potent acids and alkalis, ensuring the longevity and reliability of critical components.
-
Si0X Technology: RENEW coatings feature revolutionary Si0X technology, which enhances its bonding strength to surfaces. This technology enables it to adhere effectively to various materials, ensuring long-lasting protection.
-
Superior Performance: Compared to traditional ceramic coatings, (SiO2/SiC), RENEW coatings boast twice the resistance against corrosion and oxidation. It also provides 100% UV resistance, which helps preserve the appearance and integrity of coated surfaces.
-
Gloss and Hydrophobic Properties: RENEW coatings not only protects surfaces but also enhances their appearance. It offers unparalleled gloss and hydrophobic properties, making surfaces easier to clean and maintain.
-
User-Friendly Application: The formula of the RENEW coatings, similarly to our 'traditional' ceramic and graphene non RENEW coatings, have been designed for ease of application, and reducing the chances of uneven application, known as "high spots." This simplifies the application process, making it accessible to a wider range of users.
BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGY
OUR SELF HEALING COATING
DCUK has taken a different approach to the traditional "harder is better" mindset that many other companies apply to their ceramic coatings. Instead, we have developed cutting-edge technology that focuses on finding the perfect balance between the necessary hardness required for protection and a silicone resin, flexible surface that sets us apart from other ceramic coating products on the market today.
To illustrate this point, let's take a look at Paint Protection Film (PPF). While may be softer and more flexible than traditional ceramic coatings, it offers unbeatable paint protection that outperforms any other coating out there. This is due to its thickness, which is about 20 times greater than a single layer of our coating.
What sets DCUK's innovative coating technology apart is its ability to demonstrate the ideal mix of being "hard enough" to resist minor scratches while remaining "flexible enough" for self-healing action when light scratches do occur. This results in a level of protection that goes beyond the limits of most traditional ceramic coatings.
As customers become more aware that the 9H rating attached to most ceramic coatings currently available is related to a pencil hardness scale rather than the Mohs Scale, it's essential to rethink the products we provide and apply to our clients' cherished vehicles. Despite this, traditional ceramic coatings still remain prone to light scratches, wash-related marks, and environmental challenges.
An Amazing Alternative To
Paint Protection Film (PPF)
The comparison between DCUK RENEW ceramic and graphene coating systems and Protection Film (PPF) is interesting topic to explore. While PPF is known for its excellent protection, it is also recognized for its thickness and the fact that it can be more visible on the surface compared to today's liquid coatings. On the other hand, RENEW's ability to provide similar protection while maintaining a thinner, more inconspicuous coating could be a significant advantage for those who want protection without the appearance a film, the unsightly edges of film, and the slight loss of clarity some films create.
It is important to recognize the significance of the 9H & 10H ratings, which many customers might not fully understand the meaning of and how it relates to hardness. Educating our DCUK customers about the real-world benefits of our RENEW coating technology, such as self-healing, resistance to light scratches, wash-related marks, and environmental challenges, can be a key selling point. It's crucial to communicate that the RENEW coatings offer a practical solution that goes beyond the marketing hype and offers our customers peace of mind while keeping their cosmetic values of their vehicle's full potential.
In the competitive world of hand-applied, liquid coatings, innovation and differentiation are crucial, and it seems like RENEW has a unique value proposition. Highlighting the simplicity of application, exceptional performance, cosmetic appeal, and customer satisfaction helps with DCUK's ambitions of owning a strong foothold within the UK market in the long run, while also leaving 'traditional' ceramic coatings behind. Furthermore, DCUK's continued efforts in research and development to improve and expand our product offerings, create more protective products, and ensure our customers vehicle's get the protection they deserve is what the DCUK Brand is all about.
RENEW Self-Heal Coating's are at the cutting-edge of nanotechnology coatings, developed right here in the United Kingdom. These innovative coatings offer a range of impressive features and applications that set it apart in the field of surface protection. RENEW's similar list of characteristics of vehicle protection to PPF mean that RENEW's liquid application can be applied in many areas that PPF cannot, such as front grilles, wheels and calipers, and many other tight and hard-to-reach surface protection areas. In addition, RENEW's ability to compete with PPF and reject dirt and debris, as well as its ability to self-heal, is accomplished with the addition of two or three layers of our DCUK product. This ranking it as one of the top most productive and protective hand-applied, liquid coating products sold on the UK market today.
