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.

Application focus: A practical paint protection solution for daily-driven vehicles, especially those used in rainy, polluted, or high-traffic urban environments.

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.

Recommended Application Scenarios

Daily Urban Driving Helps protect painted panels from minor surface scratches, road contaminants, and routine exposure associated with commuting and frequent parking.
Rainy Environments The hydrophobic surface encourages water beading and runoff, making routine washing and surface care more convenient.
Polluted or Industrial Areas Adds a removable protective layer between the factory paint and common environmental contamination.
High-Gloss Paint Preservation Suitable for owners who want to retain the vehicle’s original paint color while adding a clear, glossy protective finish.

Key Performance Features

Hydrophobic Surface Water beads on the film surface and rolls away more easily, supporting simpler cleaning and maintenance.
Self-Healing Coating The surface coating can recover from minor surface scratches. Factory test data reports 100% self-healing at 25°C under the specified test conditions.
High Transparency and Gloss A tested gloss value of 96.8 GU supports a clear, high-gloss appearance without intentionally altering the original paint color.
Stone-Chip Resistance The TPU film helps reduce direct paint exposure to light road debris and minor stone impacts during normal driving.
99% UV Rejection Helps limit ultraviolet exposure to the covered automotive paint surface.
Resistance to Aging and Yellowing The tested sample passed 3,000 hours of QUV aging with ΔE*ab below 2.
Flexible TPU Construction Factory test results record 23.31 MPa tensile strength and 345.11% elongation for the tested ECO G15 sample.
Reduced Routine Detailing The protective surface can help maintain gloss through regular washing, reducing the need for frequent waxing or ceramic coating.

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.

  1. Clean the affected area before applying heat.
  2. Use warm water above 60°C or controlled heat from a heat gun.
  3. When using a heat gun, keep it moving and avoid concentrating heat on one point.
  4. Stop heating once the minor surface mark has recovered.
Important: Self-healing applies to minor marks in the surface coating. It does not repair deep cuts, punctures, torn film, or damage that has reached the vehicle paint. Heat-assisted treatment should be performed carefully, preferably by a trained installer.

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.
