Specifications :
The versions of the CERASTAR S-N-F ceramic coatings are adapted to the size of the project to be painted. They are very beautiful, thick and levelling, glossy and easy to paint.
Slow version S : recommended for complete cars, allowing a slow hardening and a nice "stretched" look.
Normal N version : allow moderate or rapid curing for motorcycles for example, or for colder temperature conditions.

Ceramic varnish CERASTAR X (rigid) or F (flexible) has a higher level of hardness and dries very quickly.
Both versions are based on a different type of chemistry : these very fluid coatings become harder very quickly and form dry, glossy, ultra-hard layers.
They offer a higher level of resistance than all conventional bodywork varnishes.

It is very easy to clean. It resists better than other HS or UHS varnishes, to micro scratches / scraping / mechanical friction and also to the aggression of various chemical agents.
This high quality top coat is designed for cars and motorbikes, is easy to apply, super hard, and provides maximum gloss finish. Industry and building companies also use it for pieces subjected to severe rubbing or often exposed to chemical products (detergents, petrol...)
We can note a resistance rate more than 40% higher than with standard top coats . Some car companies (luxury brands) have chosen this technology for the complete coating and outstanding protection of their latest models.
CERASTAR® ceramic top coat is completely compatible with waterborne or solvent based auto body paints. The hardener (included) allows it to whether being used for spot repairs or complete finishings.

The ST8900x ceramic clearcoat is extremely hard and dries very quickly (45 mins through)
However, it is not a clearcoat that sticks directly to the metal.
It is possible to apply the ceramic clearcoat to a raw metal rim by applying, 2 minutes before, a coat of transparent primer for metals SILAX P760.
Discover the LinaQuartz® nano-ceramic liquid glass coating. This liquid product is not a varnish. it is applied in addition, above the glossy and dry clearcoat.
Can we sand or polish "ceramic" clearcoats?
Yes, in the same way as conventional body paint.
Please note that the X version cannot be polished.

* the Persoz hardness measures the resistance to scratching using a pendulum that scratches the surface. the greater the measurement, the greater the hardness.
**The Buccholz hardness measures the resistance to an impact by perforation. The closer the measurement is to 0, the greater the hardness.
