What is PPF?

PPF stands for Paint Protection Film. Paint Protection Film was not originally intended for automobiles or civilian use, but was developed as a tool for military operations. It consists of an ultra-thin polyurethane, or polymer, which when properly applied by a Carr Tech professional, forms a transparent protective surface layer. Due to its ability to conform to almost any surface, and then form a tight bond with whatever it was allowed to cure atop, this film became commonly referred to as helicopter tape, or “heli tape” for short.

What Does it protect from?

This “skin” protects a car’s clear coat and the paint beneath it from things like Surface Scratches, UV Exposure, Hard Water Deposits, Acid Rain, Oxidation, and much more.

A few Smart PPF facts …

  • Since PPF started life as a military application, there was no need originally for it to create a glossy, or completely clear appearance, therefore early versions were either completely opaque, or a dull, hazy-looking sheen.
  • The top layer of the PPF is comprised of an elastomeric polymer substance that helps the material maintain a natural shape once it’s been stretched or applied to something like a painted or clear-coated surface. This allows the PPF to “self-heal” when light scratches occur.
