iGloss: Scratch-Resistant Clearcoat for Cars

Published on 2010-03-02. Author : SpecialChem

Fewer scratches - more brillance: The new iGloss clearcoat provides substantially better protection against undesireable and unattractive micro-scratches. The key to it is an innovative hybrid concept that combines the advantages of inorganic 'hard' materials with those of organic 'soft' materials.

MÜNSTER -- The new, extremely scratch-resistant clearcoat iGloss not only provides auto bodies with a brilliant and robust exterior, but also gives them even longer-lasting scratch resistance. To achieve this leap forward, the researchers modeled their work on nature, developing a "hybrid material" that combines the advantages of "hard" materials and "soft" substances. Over time, iGloss provides substantially better protection against micro-scratches.

In this podcast you will learn how chemical innovations from BASF help to develop a new, extremely scratch-resistant clearcoat for cars.

BASF Corporate Communications started a regular bilingual Podcast service in April 2007 to report on BASF's innovations and research and development activities in an easy-to-understand, informative and entertaining way.
