Flexible Film Coating For Matte/Satin, PPF And Vinyl Wraps

Introducing APEX: FUSION from Emporio Automotive, the ultimate nano-ceramic coating meticulously developed for the specialized protection of paint protection films (PPF), vinyl wraps, and matte/satin paint finishes. Its versatile formulation is perfectly suited for both high-gloss and sophisticated matte finishes, providing unparalleled defence against their greatest enemy: damaging UV radiation from the sun.

From its inception, APEX: FUSION was engineered with heavy-duty UV blockers. By impregnating both UVA and UVB resistant particles deep within its nano-structure, you can be confident that you're providing the absolute best possible protection for your wrapped and PPF-applied surfaces, preventing fading, yellowing, and degradation. Beyond its exceptional UV defence, APEX: FUSION also offers robust resistance to a wide range of chemicals, corrosive salt, and damaging environmental fallout. This highly specialized nano-coat enhances the appearance of the surface with a rich, deep look while delivering unbelievable water and dirt repellency, making maintenance effortless and keeping your protected surfaces cleaner for longer. Its rugged durability is engineered to last for years, safeguarding your investment.

A significant challenge with traditional ceramic coatings on matte and satin films, as well as PPF, has always been the high risk associated with applying a product to a surface that cannot be polished to correct application errors. APEX: FUSION addresses this concern with its user-friendly application process. When applied to properly prepped surfaces and used as directed, it can even be safely applied to matte and satin wraps without the risk of unwanted gloss enhancement or application marks. APEX: FUSION is designed for easy use in all climates, wiping on and off with exceptional ease, ensuring a flawless finish every time.

Directions for use:

Surface Preparation

For effective adhesion and therefore longevity, preparing the surface for the product is essential and using the coating alone without proper preparation may lead to a short-lived final finish.

The product cross-links to the surfaces that it’s applied to. Surface cleaning & degreasing is an essential part of the process to ensure that there is no contamination between the product and the surface to be protected.

Rain & Wind

As with most coating products, it should be applied in a clean, dry environment with no rain forecast for a minimum 4-hour period if application is outside. If strong winds are present we recommend coating does not take place due to the coating flashing off too quickly.

Temperature

Avoid applying in direct sunlight and where possible ensure application does not take place during the hotter parts of the day. We recommend early morning and late afternoon for best results. The coatings should be applied in an ambient temperature above 5°C and no higher than 35°C. The coating can be applied outdoors as with all our coating products. This temperature range also applies to the surface temperature of the substrate and temperature must stay within these parameters for a minimum of 12 hours following application.

Curing

Following application the coating will need to be allowed to cure. The coating must not go out into rain for the first 4 hours following the completion of application. Ideally the coating will be allowed 12 hours of curing before going into the elements. As the coating continues to cure for up to 7 days the vehicle should not be washed for the first 7 days following the coating being applied.

Application Method

• Ensure the PPF or vinyl surface is thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated.
• Apply APEX: FUSION sparingly onto a microfiber applicator pad.
• Apply evenly to the surface in overlapping strokes, working in small sections.
• Allow the coating to dwell for the recommended time (refer to professional application guidelines).
• Carefully level the surface with a clean, lint-free microfiber towel.
• Allow the coating to cure fully in a controlled environment for the recommended time before exposing to moisture.
