Seld Repair Coating

Self-healing paints represent a promising and innovative new class of industrial, marine, and automotive coatings that are generating considerable interest and excitement for their potential to revolutionise the field.

Dents and scratches are an inevitable part of life, but the cost of repairing a scratched phone can be higher than repainting your car.
What’s worse is that poor quality paint and application can lead to mechanical failures. For example, cracks in paint can lead to the tearing of aircraft and pose a risk of falling. It’s crucial to invest in high-quality paint and skilled professionals to ensure that your paint job is both aesthetically pleasing and mechanically sound.

Self-healing paints and coatings have the remarkable ability to fill gaps and restore surface scratches through a two-stage process. Firstly, they fill the gaps, and then they proceed to heal the damaged area, resulting in a beautifully restored surface.

There are various technologies used in the production of self-repairing paints, and we can broadly categorize them into five main types:

 1- Hollow fibre approach
 2- Reversible chemical reactions
 3- Microencapsulation
 4- Heat-activated thermoplastic polymers
 5- Micro-vascular network

While self-repairing paints are commonly used in the automotive industry, we believe that this technology has the potential to revolutionize the spray booth industry in the future.

We are certain that we will be hearing more about this innovative technology and seeing it in repair and body shops across various industries in the near future.
