Ceramic Pro created the original 9H ceramic coating that permitted installers to stack multiple layers to provide maximum protection and longevity. Advancements in manufacturing technology have allowed Ceramic Pro to once again revolutionize the ceramic coating industry with the launch of Ceramic Pro ION and ION Top Coat.

Ceramic Pro ION is a two-component ceramic coating system that utilizes revolutionary ION Exchange Technology to fuse multiple coating layers into a single, durable, and robust protected surface. This coating technology increases the strength of the atomic bond within the two coatings, and the original substrate once applied. On a basic level, it can be described as a replacement of ions in the initial substance by larger ions from a secondary substance which reduces the free space between molecules and strengthens the chemical bond. This technology is used in the manufacturing of ultra-hard screens for modern smartphones.

The result is a ceramic coating that produces twice the durability, integrity, and longevity of traditional nano-ceramic coatings.

This Next Generation Ceramic Coating is exclusively available only at Ceramic Pro Elite Dealers.

Ion Base Coat

This is the first stage of the ION coating. It provides thickness to the coating, which is responsible for many protective qualities of the product such as resistance to oxidation and corrosion, resistance to abrasion, protection from UV, and so on. However, its performance is greatly reduced without the second stage. This is a permanent coating that can only be removed by intensive polishing.

Ion Top Coat

This is the second stage of the ION coating. It activates the ion exchange reaction and provides hydrophobic property which is responsible for such qualities as dirt and contaminants repelling, self-cleaning effect, improved gloss, and many others. Unlike its predecessor from the 9H generation, ION Top Coat is a full-bodied coating, which means that it has its own thickness which greatly improves its protective properties. To top it off, it features an advanced more durable, and effective molecular structure responsible for hydrophobicity.

Hardness

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.

Hydrophobicity

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.

Abrasion resistance

This is a unique feature unavailable in previous generations of nano-ceramic protective coatings. While it’s not bulletproof, ION helps to increase the resistance to abrasion and marring on painted surfaces.

Thickness

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.

Density

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.
