Vision-Protect Automotive Coating
Vision Protect was the first product utilizing this technology for the easy use on windscreen applications and all automotive applications including marine and military vehicles.
With its inorganic composition, the product exhibits remarkable UV resistance, ensuring its durability for up to 5 years on glass surfaces. The product can handle extreme high salt spray environments like found on cruise ships , high water pressure, brushes from automated car washes etc. The target markets for this product includes any vehicle glass , land sea or air including military, mining and marine applications.
Old coatings vs Nanovations new technology in Vision Protect
Vision Protect™ represents a groundbreaking nanotechnology innovation specifically developed for the protection of automotive glass. This advanced formulation boasts an extraordinary ability to resist water and dirt, ensuring long-lasting performance on automotive glass surfaces. The globally recognized brand, ‘Vision Protect’, offers this exceptional product in various countries. Nanovations’ inorganic sol-gel technology serves as the foundation for this nanotechnology, resulting in the creation of a solid and resilient water-repellent monolayer coating.
Unlike traditional glass coatings that cover the surface structure of the glass with a thick layer of non-stick and water repellent chemicals, the Nanovations glass treatment ‘Vision Protect’ follows the contours of the glass surface right down to the nanometer level. The use of a silica sol gel creates a hard and nanometer thin layers that is enormously durable, and as one would expect from a inorganic material , completely UV resistant. Vision-Protect with a Mohs hardness of 6.5 – 7.0 is considerably harder than any of the so-called 9H coatings, which are only equivalent to a 3 Mohs hardness rating. In reality, Vision Protect stands out as the toughest windshield coating available.
Vision Protect is designed to improve vision and driving safety in bad weather conditions and for windscreens and side windows that are exposed to rain, snow ,ice dust and dirt. It represents the latest technology for driving safety, as proven by research institutes, which concluded that a hydrophobic coating applied on a glass surface can improve a driver visual perception by over 30% and his response time by 25%.
At a speed of 70 km/h ( 43 miles/h) this means one can stop 20 m ( 60 ft.) earlier than without Vision Protect.
An independent and accredited laboratory in the USA successfully conducted durability testing, which involved an astonishing 500,000 windscreen wiper cycles. This figure corresponds to the average usage of windscreen wipers over a 5-year period. What is particularly noteworthy is that, even after the testing process, the coating maintained its excellent water repellent effect and did not require re-application. It is important to highlight that Vision-Protect is currently the only windshield coating globally that offers such a comprehensive test report.
Out of all coatings, Nanovations Vison-Protect stands out as the only one that has been through this accredited testing procedure, setting it apart from the rest.
While Vision-Protect is effective for up to 5 years on the side windows and glass roof of a car, this test confirmed that quite an extensive service life can be achieved on windscreens also. Nanovations, with its “Vision Protect’ is the first windscreen coating manufacturer that has undertaken such a realistic test, simulating real life situations.
Driving in bad weather is now safer than ever, because the coating is set on your windscreen when you need it most, long after it has been applied. It not only improves night vision and wet weather visibility as good as, or better than conventional products, but adds to the durability segment as well.
Vision Protect can be applied with a cloth, by spraying and with other small volume application methods. For manufacturing uses, the product can be customized for automated application methods.
