Is one of the most important properties of a nanoceramic coating. The thicker it is the more powerful the protective action is. However, if it’s too thick, it becomes brittle, so a balance is necessary. ION is perfectly balanced: 1 layer of ION Base equals to 2+ layers of 9H and performs correspondingly.

This is a unique feature unavailable in previous generations of nanoceramic protective coatings. Abrasive damage is the Achilles heel of such coatings. However, ION lacks this weakness, which makes it almost invincible to any damage.

Is the ability of a coating to repel liquids and various contaminants that may be contained in them. Such effect is explained by the presence of specific microscopic structures on the surface that look like tiny hairs and force the drops to maintain a spheric shape, which prevents them from obtaining a grip on the surface. Unlike the “hairs” used in 9H technology, ION Top features structures that look more like tiny pyramids, which makes them substantially more durable, efficient, and long-lasting.

Is important for protection against chemicals and etching by contaminants. High density guarantees that there are no pores or other imperfections that may leave a way for an unwanted substance to reach the surface underneath the coating.

Governs the ability of a coating to resist scratching and similar damage. For one object to scratch another object, it has to be harder. So, high hardness means fewer objects that can damage the coating. Ceramic Pro 9H got its name from the pencil hardness scale where 9H is the maximum. ION is harder than 9H, so, its hardness is off the chart on the pencil hardness scale.
