SiRamik Advanced Protection Technology (APT) Coating System

Deluxe Detailing are proud and honoured to be part of the SiRamik Glasscoat accredited detailer network, as part of this network we have access to the SiRamik APT coating system. This system consists of three parts, each part is designed to work together however in their own right can be utilised on certain applications on their own depending on the level of protection and/or finish required.

SiRamik SC-HR

Heat Resistant Hard Glass Coating.
Price: £125.00

This is the base layer, containing the highest silica content of the two professional coatings available. SC-HR has been formulated to withstand heat to the extreme temperatures of exhausts and engine components which makes it ideally suited for alloy wheels and brake callipers. As a base coat for the paintwork SC-HR is the toughest and strongest SiRamik offers and alone will provide in excess of 2+ years of protection.

SiRamik SC-Ultima

High Gloss water repellent Glass Coating.
Price: £125.00

SC-Ultima is the upper coating that will provide the extreme gloss and crisp clear look that will create a unbelievable hydrophobic layer adding further protection and superior cleaning abilities. SC-Ultima along with SC-HR suitable for plastics where the durability is again excellent. Coatings with this kind of technology normally require info red drying times same as used in bodyshops, however SC-Ultima has a 60 minute fast cure meaning no info red is needed. The vehicle will need to be cured overnight indoors for initial curing full hardness will not occur until 60 hours have lapsed.

Diamas Professionali

Price: £150.00

SiRamik Glasscoat has introduced a new liquid protection technology for vehicle paintwork, glass, wheels and plastic. Diamas Professionali, has never been done before and SiRamik Glasscoat are proud to be the first paintwork protection brand in the world to introduce a true diamond coating for vehicle paintwork. Over 12 months of research, testing and development came to fruition and followed with the unleashing of the ground breaking technology of Diamas Professionali.

Diamas Professionali contains Aggregated Diamond Nanorod’s sometimes referred to as ADNR’s, with this liquid protection has been taken to the highest possible place where crystal clear paintwork is the result of an optically clear coating that will not mute any candy’s, flips, flake or pearls meaning the paint you see.

With diamond, well known as the hardest material known to man and the most precious Diamas Professionali utilises ADNR’s in sizes no greater than 3-4n meaning on a nano scale these are used as an anchor for the coating which in turn strengthens the layer applied giving a more stable protective barrier, as a whole ADNR’s have a combined strength of which has been measured at stronger than diamond itself.

Why is Diamas Professionali different to other coatings?

Diamas Professionali differs to other coatings not only due to the chemical makeup and blend, but its water contact angle and receding contact angle. With a water contact angle of up to 112 degrees water moves rapidly over the surface giving superior self cleaning, somewhat similar to a lotus leaf, contrary to beliefs a lotus leaf is not as smooth as you may think, it has a rough surface where tiny air pockets beneath the water droplet create a high water contact angle and the appearance of a super smooth surface. Diamas Professionali is of the same vein, look at it under a microscope and you will see the same style of rough surface where air pockets again are utilised to create the water contact angle.

This may not be the only aspect that sets it apart as the receding contact angle is extremely low where the water will begin to slide at 20 degrees or greater which when reading back at the above doesn’t seem possible if a rough surface is the result of application, harking back to the lotus leaf and its low sliding angle of just 10 degrees and is thus known as a ‘king plant’ due to its excellent non wettability, again this is where Diamas Professionali is breaking barriers within paintwork protection, excellent hydrophobicity and sliding angles combined.

With the above regarding contact angles breaking all barriers Diamas Professionali and its ingredients have an oxidisation temperature greater than 850 degrees in air giving greater UV protection ability, we are talking about liquefied Nanocrystalline Diamonds so expect this figure to be reduced accordingly.

In short you could say Diamas Professionali is using clever technology and becoming a mimic by using rough surface geometry to give an appearance of being ultra slick when in fact it’s a natural occurrence.

Diamonds have a high reactive index meaning light doesn’t pass directly through it bounces back and forth. Diamonds also exhibit fluorescence giving an appearance of multiple light sources that give the ‘prism’ effect, this results int the paintwork whether that be any of the afore mentioned flake, pearl, candy or flip coming to life, whilst the dispersion of light is only moderate the refractive index allows light to hit the paint particles, bounce back and around not straight through making that particular paint type become outstanding in class, enhancing the particles and allowing the owner to see the true value of the paintwork beneath the protective layers.

With the refractive index in mind Diamas Professionali has been tested on satin wrap where the wrap in question was flake infused, the wrap colour itself was unaltered yet the flake was producing the kind of sparkle expected. On a standard matt and satin no additional gloss or depth was added making Diamas Professionali the all round surface protection product.

*All prices quoted are applicable to the product per layer of application; additional costs are applicable for this product. Additional costs applicable are to ensure correct surface preparation for bonding properties, durability and longevity, other services can be added on to this including any correction required, this can be discussed and costs agreed. All services are bespoke to each customer’s individual requirements.
