What is the Difference Between Coating and Crystal Coating?
1 Answers
Automotive crystal coating and regular coating differ in the following aspects: Time Required for Application: Crystal coating typically takes about 5 hours to apply; regular coating takes about 3 hours. Composition of Materials Used: Crystal coating consists of a dense and stable high-molecular inorganic compound; regular coating is made from glass cellulose, silicon polymers, fluorine polymers, and high-purity water-based non-petroleum eco-friendly materials. Duration of Effectiveness: Crystal coating can last up to 3 years; regular coating lasts between half a year to a year. Use a clay bar to remove contaminants from the car's paint surface; apply the material evenly with a sponge; after drying, wipe off excess material with a specialized towel. Types of Materials: Regular coating products are more complex, with three different categories (resin, fluorine, and glass-based), broadly divided into organic and inorganic coatings, where inorganic coatings are significantly more effective than organic ones. The material used in crystal coating is currently less clear, as its crystalline properties classify it as an organic material, meaning crystal coating can be considered a variant of regular coating.
