Product History
Paint Protection Film or PPF was developed from a film used in Middle
East Conflict 'Desert Storm' to protect helicopter blades and propellers
against abrasion from the desert sands.
Some people still call PPF “Helicopter Tape” because of
it’s genesis but it is a different product now.
The original film was either black or clear and turned yellow with
age. This didn’t matter with the aircraft application during war
as long as it did it’s job.
Early
versions of PPF for cars were initially clear but yellowed quickly.
The surface was quite dull and trapped dirt in the pores of the film
creating a grey tint. The current production film is the latest evolution
of PPF and has an optical clarity so close to 100% it is clear as glass.
The gloss is similar to OEM paint finishes making it even harder to
detect. And, of course, it no longer turns yellow with prolonged exposure
to UV.
UPDATE 2013
In 2013 Invisible Car Bras changed to installing Premiumshield Elite PPF. Elite is superior to other Paint Protection Films with the latest technology adhesive and excellent gloss to match your OEM paint finish. This is backed with the best warranty in the industry.
