Ceramic varnishes are among the most resistant specific protective varnishes today. Indeed, we have not found better currently, that is to say products that are as hard and resistant to both scratches and shocks. There are varnishes as hard or almost as hard as ceramic varnishes, but these are not easily applicable (baking or powder varnish), or else they turn yellow when exposed to the sun (epoxy varnish).
Chemically speaking, it is mainly a designation, because there is nothing in the composition of the few products already available on the market, which comes close or far, to ceramics, the one found on our sinks for example !
We refer to this term, for this shiny effect resembling enamel, of a very high hardness. The components that go into the composition of these ultra-hard coatings are essentially resins. Admittedly, these are very special resins, which make it possible to reach levels 1.5 to 2 times higher than products made of acrylic resins (classic car varnishes).
It is not possible to reveal in an informative article the name of these special resins, due to secrecy of formulation. These innovative resins provide these exceptional levels of hardness to these clear and glossy, liquid and sprayable finishes in a completely classic way. We can say that there are two types of ceramic varnish, the difference of which is the formulation and in particular the type of special resin. One of them hardens under the effect of the hardener, or of the heat, or of the humidity, and forms glass. Yes, we are talking about glass, silica, logically with a very high level of hardness, compared to a large number of materials. Ceramic varnishes are therefore a product with a very promising future, which opens up superb possibilities and innovations in a multitude of fields. Nano-ceramic varnishes are not simply usable in the field of car painting ! Manufacturers of household appliances, kitchens, tools, boats, will quickly take advantage of the progress made by these coatings which seem to have all the qualities !
Usually, we are used to saying that we have the faults and weaknesses of our qualities. Well in the case of ceramic varnish, the rule does not apply. Surprisingly, we realize that ceramic varnishes have and combine all the qualities that we can ask of them : speed of drying, economy, finesse, shine, ease of application, chemical and UV resistance, flexibility...

Polysilizanes are extraordinarily hard and resistant protections. These nano-ceramics varnishes, developed by Stardust, are differentiated into two types : the rapid air-drying versions, Linaquartz type, and the slow-firing versions. Both form real silicon films, ie glass. Resistance tests with the punch test (buchholz test) for impact resistance or the pendulum test (persoz test) for the scratch test show results far superior to all existing paints and varnishes
