Liquid PPF

Icon Rocklear was forged by blending higher tensile, brilliance, and volume materials from the industries of Aviation, Automotive, and Marine making it a truly remarkable marvel for all surface protection.

Rocklear is 75 times stronger due to the 9H hardness and the thickness of the coating .25 times thicker than professionally installed ceramic coatings. Rocklear is roughly 1-2 mils (25-50 microns) in thickness compared to ceramic's 1-2 microns of thickness.

ROCKLEAR

• Icon doesn't require paint correction
• Icon “fills in” the clear coat scratches with the new coating, eliminating the need for paint correction in most cases.
• Eliminates the need to “remove” clearcoat in the paint correction process. Anytime you paint correct or polish, you are removing thickness from the factory clear coat.
• No annual Maintenance Required
• Does NOT require any annual maintenance because its strength isn't in its hydrophobic properties

CERAMIC

• When ceramic is applied, paint correction is highly recommended and necessary if there are swirls or scratches, otherwise the ceramic coating will HIGHLIGHT the imperfections.
• Most ceramic coatings require an “annual maintenance” (cost of $200/yr) where we will reapply a top coat layer to keep it hydrophobic, and to keep the warranty valid. If a ceramic coating loses its hydrophobic properties, it will deteriorate fast. It relies on this to keep the contaminates off of the surface.

ACCELERATED TESTING DATA

IMPACT RESISTANCE

• 50% more impact resistant than Ceramic
• Lab tested using ASTM D-2794. Impact resistance at 120 in. Ibs.
• (Premium Professional Ceramics) tested at 80 in. Ibs

SALT SPRAY TESTING

• 3x More longevity in salty/humid environments
• ASTM B117 Withstood 1000 hours with no visible change
• (Premium Professional Ceramics) withstood 350 hours

ADHESION TESTING

• ASTM D4541 Aluminum was epoxied to the coated surface and pulled off to test adhesion. It took 540psi to separate the car paint from the metal. The coating did not separate from the car paint.
• (Premium Professional Ceramics) uses ASTM D3359 which tests for adhesion using tape.

MANDREL BEND TEST

• ASTM D522 A ⅛ in Bend at 180 degrees was made in the coated panel with no cracking.
• (Premium Professional Ceramics) passed the same test

UV WEATHERING

• ASTM D4587  No change in appearance after 1000 hours of extreme UV and condensation exposure

SOLVENT RESISTANCE TESTING

• ASTM D4752  MEK was used on a cotton cloth, wrapped around a ball peen hammer and “double rubbed” onto the coated surface. Slight burnished mark was visible after 50 “double rubs”. The same test was completed without MEK, with no visual marks after 50 double rubs.

SCRATCH TEST WAS COMPLETED (NON STANDARD TEST)

• A key was rubbed against a 50/50 coated panel. The scratch was started on the non coated area, then to the coated area. The key left a very clear scratch on the non coated area, but the scratch left on the coated area could barely be seen.

Unlike Ceramic Coatings, Icon Rocklear‘s construction allows for the addition of wraps, vinyl, PPF, and can actually be refinished over. Making it versatile to a customers needs without ever losing your installation investment.  See your Icon Rocklear application facilities for details.

A bonafide 15 years under normal conditions is standard.
