ARMORIUS GLOSS & MATTE - Coating for glossy PPF & vinyl
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a transparent thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film designed toabsorb impacts, defendagainst micro-scratches, and shield against UV rays. Thanks to its elasticity, it adheres perfectly to the bodywork and creates an invisible protection, also suitable for the mostcomplex surfaces.
Precisely because of its thermosensitive, elastic, and chemically more “open” nature compared totraditional paint, PPF is particularly exposed to the accumulation of environmental contamination.
The main enemy istraffic film: an invisible but insidious mix of oily, carbonaceous, and mineralroad residues such as fine dust, smog, hydrocarbons, and organic pollutants which settleseverywhere, penetrates the film’s microstructure, and over time compromises its uniformity andaesthetic appearance.
Cleaning a PPF contaminated by traffic film requires targeted treatments, depending on the type ofdirt. That’s why Labocosmetica has developed technical solutions designed to act selectively butcomplementarily:
- RENOVA: an acidic Traffic Film Remover, ideal for deep decontamination. It preciselydissolves mineral residuesand limescale stains, restoring the film to a uniform visualcondition.
- LIBERA: an alkaline Traffic Film Remover, perfect for removing greasy dirt, organiccontamination, and industrial residues.
- LIMPIA: a deep cleaner designed for intensive cleaning, bothlocalized and on largesurfaces. Essential when the goal is to restore uniformity, gloss, and visual cleanliness onworn or neglected surfaces.
These products are effective but they’re used when the situation is already compromised. Thesmart move is toprevent the problem before it arises.
That’s why applying a coating likeArmorius Gloss(on gloss films) orArmorius Matt(on matteor satin films) is a far-sighted choice: it creates an invisible and hydrophobic barrier that shields thefilm from trafficfilm, preserves its original aesthetics, and drastically reduces the frequency andintensity of corrective treatments.
It’s not just extra protection—it’sprotection for the protection.
Those who choose a protective film (PPF) or car wrap do it to preserve the paint or to change itsstyle. But in turn, that film is exposed to everything: sun, rain, smog, limescale, insects, chemicals.In other words: it protects, but it isn’t protected. This is where ceramic coating comes into play.
Armorius Gloss and Armorius Matt were developed precisely for this: to provide an additionalshield to a material that, alone, is not enough.
1. More hydrophobicity, less dirt adhesion The first thing you’ll notice is water sliding off. That’s becausethe surface becomes much morehydrophobic: droplets bead up and roll off, taking dirt with them. The result? Dirt adheres less,limescale leaves fewer traces, and dust is easier to remove. The film stays clean longer and requiresless effort, fewer products, and less time to wash.
2. Real protection, not just theoretical We’re talking about a real barrier against:
- UV rays, which over time yellow and dull the film
- Environmental contamination like tree sap, insects, industrial dust
- Mild chemicals (like oilsor harsh shampoos)
- Corrosion from acid rain and urban smog
- Traffic film we all know how hard it is to remove once embedded in the film
Armorius Coating protects the film and slows down its natural deterioration, preserving its originallook for longer.
3. Measurable durability, not vague claims This isn’t about generic “long-lasting effects.” Armorius Gloss and Armorius Matt provide realprotection for up totwo years, with stable, measurable, and repeatable performance. Fewertreatments, less stress, more long-term value.
4. Compatible with all film types Glossy or satin, clear or colored, PPF or wrap: Armorius adapts.
-
Armorius Gloss enhances the visual depth of gloss surfaces without making them lookfake.
-
Armorius Matt protects while maintaining the matte or satin finish intact—without shiningor altering.
Both are compatible with self-healing films and do not hinder their function.
5. Enhances without altering The coating doesn’t change the protective film it enhances it. It respects and improves it. On glossfilms, it delivers better uniformity and deeper reflections. On matte or satin films, it maintains theoriginal finish, avoiding noticeable differences between treated and untreated areas.
6. Less maintenance, more time for you Cleaner surfaces,fewer contaminants, quicker washes. With Armorius Coating, the time between cleanings extends and the care time decreases.
Those who have already invested in a film know how important it is to keep it in perfect condition.
