PPF Film – Paint Protection Film in TPU
Here you will find high-end PPF film (Paint Protection Film) manufactured from advanced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Unlike basic vinyl wraps, our PPF is specifically engineered to act as an invisible, impact-absorbing barrier that physically protects the paintwork rather than simply changing colour.
Our PPF is the obvious choice for professional detailers and demanding car owners who want to protect their paintwork against roadworks, gravel and daily wear without altering the car's appearance. The film is applied to exposed areas such as the front end, bonnet, front wings, door sills and mirrors, taking the hit from stone chips and scratches instead of the original paint.
By using PPF film you preserve the factory finish, reduce the need for repainting and help maintain the vehicle's resale value. For leased cars and premium vehicles, this is often the most cost‑effective insurance against minor damage and cosmetic wear over time.
Technical benefits of our PPF
- Self-healing top coat: The elastic surface layer "heals" fine wash marks and swirl marks when exposed to heat from the sun or warm water.
- Hydrophobic surface: Extremely water‑repellent behaviour that makes the car easier to wash and keeps it cleaner for longer.
- Non‑yellowing: UV‑stabilised formulation that ensures the film remains crystal clear year after year.
- Impact resistance: The thicker construction (typically 150–200 microns) effectively absorbs energy from stone chips.
- TPU technology: Thermoplastic polyurethane with high elasticity, strong memory and excellent conformability around complex shapes.
Who should use PPF?
Our PPF film is tailored to several different user groups and applications:
Detailers and Wrappers
User‑friendly film with good stretch, stable adhesion and high optical clarity, optimised for professional installation on front ends, bonnets, wings and other exposed panels. Provides predictable handling during installation and helps minimise silvering and edge lift.
Car enthusiasts
Ideal for protecting sports cars, enthusiast vehicles or daily drivers without compromising appearance. PPF film is transparent and preserves the original colour while providing tangible protection against stone chips and everyday scratches.
Transport and commercial vehicles
Suitable for heavily used load areas, bumpers, sills and side panels on vans and commercial vehicles. The film absorbs wear from loading, tools and daily use, reducing cosmetic damage and downtime for refinishing.
Leased and fleet vehicles
An efficient way to keep leased and fleet cars in good cosmetic condition throughout the contract period. Less polishing and paint correction at end‑of‑lease and a better overall impression for drivers and clients.
Specifications and properties – PPF versus vinyl
To give you a clear picture of what you are buying, here is an overview of the key differences between quality TPU‑based PPF and standard vinyl film:
| Property | PPF (TPU) | Standard vinyl (PVC) |
| Material | Thermoplastic polyurethane (elastic) | Polyvinyl chloride (rigid) |
| Main purpose | Physical protection and stone chip resistance | Colour change and styling |
| Thickness | Thicker (approx. 150–200 microns) | Thinner (approx. 80–100 microns) |
| Self‑healing | Yes – fine scratches recover with heat | No |
| Finish | High‑gloss clear or matte clear | Wide range of colours and textures |
Common Questions about PPF
Can PPF be installed by a DIY user?
Yes, on smaller areas such as door sills, headlights and boot sills it is entirely possible for a careful DIY user to install PPF with good results. Proper preparation, cleaning and the right tools are essential. For larger panels like bonnets, bumpers and full front ends, professional installation is recommended due to the higher demands on stretching, heating and edge finishing.
How long does PPF film last on a vehicle?
A quality TPU‑based PPF typically lasts 5–10 years, depending on wash routines, driving profile and exposure to sun and road contamination. During this period the film maintains its clarity, adhesion and protective function. Gentle hand washing and avoiding harsh chemicals will maximise the service life.
Is PPF visible after installation?
Correctly installed PPF is virtually invisible and allows the factory paint colour and gloss to shine through. The film is optically clear and engineered to minimise visible edges. On darker colours many owners even experience a slight enhancement of gloss while gaining significantly improved resistance to wash‑induced marring and swirls.
