The evolutionary history of invisible car clothing: from military to civilian, from PVC to TPU

The first generation: PU material, rhino leather

In fact, many of the things we use every day may have been for military purposes at first, and the same is true for invisible car jackets

In the 1970s, this layer of rhino leather was further applied.

The second generation: PVC material, civil

In 1961, three German engineers walked into Bill's interior decoration shop and asked Bill Colgan if he could put a layer of decorative film on his Porsche 356, thus inventing the first-generation car jacket

In the following years of development, stretchable black vinyl material (PVC) film has always been the only option to protect car paint surfaces from debris and scratches

In the 1980s, the transparent protective film technology on military helicopters began to enter civilian use, and was used in the field of professional racing.

Helicopter Tape + Car Bra = Clear Bra- Paint Protection Film

Since the black vinyl material is already well-known in the industry as the car cover, the original military technical film is called the invisible car cover

Since 2004, "rhinohide leather" protective film has emerged in the European and American civilian car market, and car paint protective film has gradually become a product for luxury cars and European royal cars

The third generation: civil, TPU material

In 2009, a TPU material car paint protective film was officially born.
The TPU substrate is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer.
Its advantages are heat repair of scratches, anti-aging, anti-corrosion, yellowing resistance, and super tensile strength.
Extensibility and hardness

In the next few years, the paint protection film has been undergoing a variety of evolutions and innovations on the substrate with TPU as the base material, and the protection functions of the car paint that can be realized are becoming more and more abundant
