Instant Self Healing PPF Film :

While the instant self healing coating of a vehicle protection film product may seem like the more attractive option due to its convenience and high-tech features, is it better one ? For finding out the truth . It is important to analyze the underlying principles behind its effectiveness.
The reason why the instant healing coating heals so quickly is that its molecular density arrangement is low and its structure is loose. Once external force is applied, the molecules will quickly shift and then quickly return to their original positions. However, once the molecules exceed their activity space, they cannot return to their original positions.
Therefore, the service life of the instant repair coating is relatively short. Moreover, the loose arrangement of molecules leads to poor anti-fouling and hydrophobic properties of the car ppf wrap coating. Therefore, the instant self healing automotive protective film is more prone to water stains, water marks, and yellowing.

Heat Self Healing PPF Film:

The reason why the heat self healing film coating cannot heal scratches instantly is that the molecular arrangement of the coating is very tight. When external force is applied, the molecules cannot return to their original positions in time. Heat treatment is required to automatically repair scratches, and the triggering temperature is generally around 60 degrees Celsius.
After the self repair is completed, the coating will restore its original high-density structure. Therefore, the self-healing function of the heat repair car clear bra is more durable, and the overall anti-fouling and hydrophobic properties of the car ppf wrap are also superior.

Using heat self healing ppf film is not a very troublesome thing. When the temperature is high in summer, it is equivalent to instant self -healing ppf film. In winter, it only requires a kettle of hot water.
