How self-healing coatings work
BionicA repairs fine scratches with heat. Here is the surface science behind self-healing nanocoatings.
Self-healing coatings use a flexible polymer matrix that can soften and re-flow when exposed to mild heat, such as sunlight or warm water. As the matrix re-flows, fine scratches and swirl marks close up and the surface returns to its original smoothness.
Combined with advanced UV resistance and hydrophobic behaviour, this makes BionicA ideal for high-gloss automotive finishes that need to look new for longer with minimal maintenance.
