If I have to do this, the effect will be halved?Tips for demonstrating the durability and resilience of glass coating

Glass coating can be divided into two types

Glass coating agents that prevent stains on the glass surface and improve visibility by repelling raindrops while driving are divided into two types, "silicon-based" and "fluorine-based", both of which protect the glass surface. It is the same, but it is characterized by its water-repellent effect and duration. Let's take a closer look at the differences in the characteristics of silicon and fluorine.

Silicon-based glass water-repellent coating

Silicone-based coating agents have high water repellency and are sold at a relatively lower price than fluorine-based coating agents.

Due to its nature, it looks like oil is applied to the glass, and the raindrops that are running flow smoothly, so the water repellency is higher than that of fluorine. In addition, many of the construction methods have been devised so that it does not take time and effort, and it is easy to handle even for those who are not accustomed to it.

However, due to the nature of oil, the applied coating agent itself easily flows, and its durability is not as high as that of fluorine-based coating agents. The water repellent effect lasts only about 2 months at the longest and requires regular maintenance.

Fluorine glass water repellent coating

Fluorine-based coating agents, on the other hand, are not as water-repellent as silicon-based, but have the advantage of long duration. Fluorine is fixed to the glass by curing the liquid during construction. Therefore, the coating film has excellent oil-proof and antifouling performance, and the water-repellent effect is very long-lasting, from half a year to one year.

However, the price tends to be higher than that of silicon, and it may be difficult for those who want to easily coat. And because of its high durability, it is difficult to remove the paint film at the time of recoating, so it is necessary to carefully treat it with a special oil film remover.
