Diamond Plate

Diamond Plate Nano Ceramic Paint Coating from only $690.00

'Mirror like' finish over and above the factory paint, Diamond Plate reacts with the vehicle's clear coat finish to form a second layer and thicker coating for durable protection. Increasing the car's gloss and paint film thickness by up to 10% for that lasting shine.

These highly cross-linked coatings are extremely weather resistant, provide UV protection and are wear resistant. The first line of chemically bonded defence against animal and organic matter such as bird droppings, tree sap and environmental impacts.

Tested, Proven, Verified & Certified by Independent Lab testings.

*Conditions apply. Price includes a one stage paint correction. Additional charges apply if further paint correction is needed.

Diamond Plate is a nano ceramic paint coating that is designed to give a consumer's vehicle long term exterior protection.

Designed to chemically react to the vehicle's paint, it creates a permanent ceramic barrier and increases the vehicle's gloss and paint film thickness by up to 10%.

Diamond Plate reacts with the vehicle's clear coat finish to form a second layer and thicker coating for additional protection. These highly cross-linked coatings are extremely weather resistant, provide UV protection and are wear resistant. 

Studies were performed in order to explain the molecular level and the extreme durability of Diamond Plate when applied to an automotive clear coat. By monitoring changes in intensity of characteristics bands of the clear coat, it was found that, unlike other commercially available paint sealants, Diamond Plate chemically interacts and cross links, with the clear coat to provide a tough and durable coating.

The main ingredient in Diamond Plate is Polysilazane. Polysilazane's waterproof properties are found in coatings for bridges and solar panels.

These coatings are so durable they are used widely in the automotive, aerospace and civil industries.

CAR WASH LAB TEST

Because there is no known standard to test the water shed properties of automotive waxes and paint sealers, a standardised lab test was developed to tested the durability of the Diamond Plate product.

The testing consisted of determining the range of which water shed from the surface of Diamond Plate compared to uncoated panels and panels coated with four other automotive paint sealers. The water shed rate both before and following subjections to a pre-determined number of linear wash cycles with a sponge and a detergent/ water solution were compared in order to gauge the durability of the products applied to test panels against the combined effect of physical washing in chemical detergent.

After 5000 washes, Diamond Plate exhibits little or no erosion.

ACCELERATED WEATHER TEST

An accelerated weather test was selected to assess Diamond Plate's durability. A "Weatherometer" cabinet is the equipment of choice for such a test. It is understood within the automotive coatings industry that 500 hours in the cabinet is a reasonable approximation to 2 years of coastal weather.

At 750 hours the Diamond Plate panels exhibited no reduction in water repellents.

At 1,000 hours, a clear difference between coated and uncoated sided was evident, and water repellent properties were still obtained. Exposure was continued to 1,500 where little reduction is evident.

These panels were then run to the 2,000 hour mark.

Diamond Plate's Polysilazane coating is held together by silicon - oxygen (Si-o) bonds, which are unaffected by UV. Polysilazane strongly reacts with the hydroxide (O-h) groups on the surface of the paint to anchor (chemically bond) it in place at millions of separate points across the surface.

For this reason, a true Polysilazane product is expected to perform very well on an accelerated weather test.

Diamond Plate was still intact after 7 years. All major brands tested failed within 2 years.
