India’s PPF Evolution Moves From TPU to Polycarbonate

Paint protection film, or PPF, is a clear layer placed on a car to help protect its paint.

Earlier films mainly helped guard against small stones, scratches and road dirt.

Newer films use TPU, which can bend around a car and help minor scratches disappear with heat.

Indian roads and weather can be especially demanding because of heat, dust, rain and traffic.

Aegis Films says it developed a film combining polycarbonate and TPU after three years of research.

Polycarbonate is intended to make the film tougher, while TPU helps it stay flexible and self-healing.

Modern PPF is also expected to remain clear, resist yellowing and keep the car glossy.

Careful professional installation is important because poor installation can cause bubbles, lifting or visible dirt.
