Factors to be considered while selecting PPF FOR CARS
Warranty
Whether a 5 year or 10 Year Warranty
Country of Origin
Check for the country of Origin
Type of PPF for Car
Check the difference between TPH and TPU. TPU is High Quality
while TPH is slightly inferior on all
Paraments.
Burning a TPH leads to lots of black Smoke while a TPU will
emit a white smoke in lesser quantity.
TPU also has 2 variants: Aliphatic and Aromatic. Aliphatic has
a Stronger Bond of Molecules and hence a
higher strength.
Only Aliphatic PPF has a Non Yellowing Property
Thickness
As per Global Standards PPF shall have a thickness between 180
- 200 Microns
Thickness Lesser than 180 leads to a inadequate scratch
protection
Thickness above 200 micron leads to lesser adaptability to
contoured surfaces due to lower elongation
Gloss Levels
Visually Check the PPF applied on a Surface at Various angles
and check the reflection of the light on it.
Diffracted Light shows Lower Clarity and Gloss. Check if the surface has an orange peel effect which leads
to lower Gloss and Depth.
Hydrophobic on PPF for Car
Try Pouring water on the PPF. The water should not stick to the
surface but trickle down
Self Healing
Try using a Soft Metal Brush and create some impressions on the
PPF. Then blow hot air from a heat gun or
Hair Dryer or pour Hot water and check if the impressions Vanish
Elongation
Cut a Srip of PPF 5 inches long and 1.5" Broad. Stretch the PPF
on the Scale and to the Maximum Possible
level before it just breaks and check the elongation , Elongation of over 300% is considered to be good
Permeation
Use a Permanent Marker and write on the PPF. Then use a thinner
to remove the marker Stain. If the stain
completely Vanishes it indicates lower permeability and penetration which is good
Adhesive
If the PPF has a Very Strong and Strange smell indicates that
the quality of the PPF for cars and the Adhesive is not
good. High Quality PPF;s will not have a Pungent Smell.
