self healing
An advanced, self-healing, flexible coating that is similar to paint protection film. REVIVIfy allows for a true healing process of minor scratches & swirl marks, unlike any other traditional ceramic (hard) coatings.
Traditional 9H/10H ceramic coatings are repaired from scratches only by polishing and reapplying the ceramic. Harsh contaminants, such as bird droppings, when neglected on the surface would permanently etch these types of traditional ceramic coatings.
REVIVIfy solves all of these issues with its self-healing capabilities. It’s a flexible coating – so if scratched or etched, it will restore back to its original state with heat! Additionally, it actively provides significantly better water-spot protection when compared with traditional 9H/10H ceramic coatings.
NO limits
By adopting advanced new polymer materials that are used in three technological industries: aerospace, ships/maritime vessels, and semiconductors.
Compared with traditional SI02 structured ceramic coatings or glass coatings, REVIVIfy Self-healing series products have 100% resistance to ultraviolet rays, and their chemical resistance is 3X that of traditional ceramic coatings.
Based on years of experience in the formulation of automotive sprayable PPF, Idée introduced its technology into the global innovative R&D of REVIVIfy self-healing products, and successfully completed the world’s first thick single application, heat-activated, self-healing nano-coating products in 2018. The gloss, hydrophobic, stain, chemical, and 100% UV resistance are not comparable to traditional ceramic products.
This advanced formulation not only allows the product to break through the protection limit of traditional coatings but the application method has also undergone a revolutionary change, which is extremely easy to apply (no mixing needed) therefore reduces the risk of having “high spots”. REVIVIfy successfully created a range of coating products that everyone in the automotive detailing and protection industry dreams of.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WILL AN IR (INFRARED) LAMP DECREASE CURING TIME?
Infrared Lamps will speed up the curing of the coating, in turn reducing the curing time.
WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE FOR AN IR LAMP?
To prevent damages to other components of the vehicle, such as plastic and rubber pieces, the suggested operating temperature for the IR Lamp should be set to 90 degrees Celsius.
For reference, the coating will achieve 100% curing in 60 seconds under 250 degrees Celsius environment. Upon curing, the coating can withstand temperatures up to 450 degrees Celsius.
WHAT IS THE MATERIAL PERCENTAGE OF SIO2?
Si02 (Silicon Dioxide) is a core compound within the ceramic coating, but due to proprietary reasons, the formula cannot be disclosed. However, one can noticed that the coating is relatively viscous compared to other types of products on the market. The product contains roughly 60% of solid content.
WHAT IS THE THICKNESS OF ONE LAYER OF COATING?
The minimum thickness of a single layer of coating would be a minimum of 5 microns (if applied correctly), up to approximately 10 microns.
WHAT IS THE IDEAL APPLICATION TEMPERATURE?
Between 15 to 35 degrees Celsius
CAN REVIVIfy COATINGS BE APPLIED TO A SINGLE STAGE PAINT?
REVIVIfy Coatings* can be applied onto any surfaces, its application is not limited by the type of material.
CAN REVIVIfy COATINGS BE APPLIED TO A GELCOAT SUCH AS BOATS?
Yes, REVIVIfy Coatings* can be applied onto surfaces that one would like to protect.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD THE COATING RECEIVE MAINTENANCE AND WHAT IS REQUIRED IN THE PROCESS?
The maintenance schedule depends on the environment the coating is exposed to. It is recommended that the coating to be maintained every 3 months for optimal performance. REVIVIfy Coatings are based out of Silicon Oxides. (SiOx), it is a type of polymer that utilizes alternating silicon and nitrogen atoms as the core backbone. During the curing process, NH3 (Ammonia) is released from the reaction and the SiOx nanostructure layer forms, This type of bond adheres to various materials extremely well including but not limited to automotive paint, Polycarbonates (PC), Polyethylene (PET), Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), metals, ceramics, and wood.

WHERE CAN I PURCHASE REVIVIfy PRODUCTS?
You can contact REVIVIfy’s distributor in your country or please contact us.
WHAT ARE THE BEST METHODS FOR KEEPING THE VEHICLE CLEAN?
Please see our maintenance guide in our warranty package for further details.
DO I NEED TO APPLY WAX AND SEALANT AFTER A WASH?
As the ceramic coating is bonded to the paint surface upon application, it is not required to apply wax or sealant to the coated surfaces.
IS THERE A NEED FOR ME TO POLISH THE SURFACE?
Polishes contain abrasive contents which will cause damage to the coating layer. After the coating has been applied to the paint surface, polishing is not recommended as it is not required.
HOW LONG WILL THE COATING LAST?
The longevity of the product will depend on the environment that the vehicle is mostly exposed to. In order to achieve optimal performance, proper maintenance is necessary. Please see our maintenance guide in our warranty package for further details.
WILL REVIVIfy COATING PROTECT THE PAINT FROM SWIRLS AND SCRATCH MARKS?
The ceramic coating is not invulnerable, but it will prevent scratches and swirl marks from hand washing using our recommended cleaning methods. Our Self Heal Pro product will self-heal on its own in the event of light scratches and swirls under heated conditions.
WHAT ABOUT BIRD DROPPINGS AND TAR?
Similar to swirls and scratch marks, the coating will minimize the damage but it is not invulnerable. Treating these contaminants correctly will ensure the surface stay slick for as long as possible. See our maintenance guide in our warranty package for further details.
