ECO G15 Hydrophobic TPU Paint Protection Film
ECO G15 is a transparent, high-gloss TPU paint protection film developed for exterior automotive paint protection. Its hydrophobic surface helps water bead and roll away, while the film provides a protective barrier against minor scratches, road debris, environmental contamination, and ultraviolet exposure.
Product Overview
The film combines BASF material with Henkel adhesive and is supplied in a standard 1.52 m × 15 m roll. Its transparent, high-gloss finish is designed to preserve the appearance of the original paint rather than change its color.
Two nominal thickness options are available: 7.5 mil and 8.5 mil. The ECO G15 factory test data shown below records a total thickness of 183 μm for the tested sample.

Self-Healing and Heat-Assisted Repair
The surface coating features a self-healing function for minor surface marks. Under suitable conditions, light scratches can recover at ambient temperature. Applying controlled heat can accelerate and enhance the recovery process, helping the film surface return to a smoother and more even state.
- Clean the affected area before applying heat.
- Use warm water above 60°C or controlled heat from a heat gun.
- When using a heat gun, keep it moving and avoid concentrating heat on one point.
- Stop heating once the minor surface mark has recovered.
Installation and Use Considerations
- Professional installation is recommended to achieve proper alignment, edge finishing, and surface adhesion.
- The paint surface should be thoroughly cleaned and prepared before installation.
- This film has a relatively firm texture and is not recommended for extremely cold regions.
- Actual appearance and performance can be affected by installation quality, vehicle condition, climate, and maintenance practices.
- Follow appropriate post-installation care instructions before washing or applying additional surface products.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ECO G15 hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
ECO G15 has a hydrophobic surface. Water forms beads and rolls away more readily instead of spreading into a continuous sheet.
Will the film change the original paint color?
The film is transparent and high gloss. It is intended to retain the original paint color while adding a glossy protective layer.
Can every scratch self-heal?
No. The self-healing function is intended for minor surface scratches in the coating. Deep cuts, punctures, and damage extending through the film require professional inspection or film replacement.
What is the difference between the listed thickness and the test result?
The product is offered in nominal thicknesses of 185 ± 5 μm and 210 ± 5 μm. The factory test table records 183 μm for the specific ECO G15 sample tested.
Where is this film most suitable?
It is suited to exterior automotive paint protection for daily-driven vehicles, including cars used in rainy, polluted, urban, or industrial-area environments. It is not recommended for extremely cold regions because of its relatively firm texture.
