FAQ about our UVA Topcoat System

UVA TOPCOAT – THE NEXT GENERATION IN SURFACE TECHNOLOGY

Our UVA Topcoat System is not an ordinary paint system. This revolutionary ceramic coating and paint system combines advanced technology developed exclusively by NANO CERAMIC with the special properties of surface cleaning Nano Technology to deliver superior performance.

WHAT IS UVA TOPCOAT?

UVA Topcoat is an advanced ceramic-based coating developed by NANO-CERAMIC®. It forms an ultra-thin, transparent protective layer with exceptional resistance to UV light, chemicals, heat, and dirt. Unlike traditional polyurethane, epoxy, or acrylic coatings, UVA Topcoat remains clear, flexible, and crack-free for up to 24 years—without yellowing or surface degradation.

WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS?

UV Protection – blocks UVA radiation to prevent fading and surface aging

Permanent Water Repellency – resists water, dirt, dust, and grime

Extreme Chemical Resistance – protects against acids, oils, fuels, and harsh cleaners

Self-Cleaning – anti-stain, anti-algae, and low maintenance

High Heat Tolerance – withstands temperatures up to 550°F

Hardness – up to 9H scratch resistance

Ultra-Thin – performs at just 6 microns per layer

PFAS-Free – safe and sustainable formulation

Easy Application – by spray, roller, or wipe

WHAT SURFACES CAN BE COATED?

UVA Topcoat bonds to almost any hard, non-porous surface, including:

Glass, acrylic, plexiglass

Natural stone (marble, granite)

Stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, zinc

Varnished wood, HPL, melamine, PVC, vinyl

Pre-painted surfaces (epoxy, acrylic, PU)

It is also fully compatible with our professional-grade primers:
SIX1 (Epoxy), SIX3 (PU Wood Filler), SIX4 (Water-Based Acrylic)

WHICH INDUSTRIES USE IT?

UVA Topcoat is trusted across many sectors:

Architecture & Construction

Marine & Offshore

Interior Design & Furniture

Hotels & Hospitality

Automotive & Aviation

HOW IS IT APPLIED?

Application Methods:

Spray: HVLP spray gun (1.0–1.3 mm nozzle at 20–30 psi)

Wipe: With cotton pads on flat surfaces like counters

Roll: 6 mm short-nap microfiber roller for walls and ceilings

Preparation Steps:

Clean and degrease the surface

Wet sand with 1500–2000 grit

Final clean with 100% acetone and tack cloth

Apply 1–3 ultra-thin layers (wet-on-wet allowed)

Flash-off time between coats: 5–15 minutes

Fully cured in 5 days (or faster with IR heating)

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

8 years from a single 6 µm layer

16–24 years with two or three layers (wet-on-wet method)

DOES IT COME IN COLORS?

Subtle transparent shades (smoke, champagne, bronze)

Full RAL colors

Metallic or frosted effects

You get modern color with no loss in clarity or performance—ideal for glass, metal, or decorative finishes.

WHICH FINISHES ARE AVAILABLE?

UVA Topcoat is available in multiple hardness levels and finish types:

Gloss / Matte Options:

H9 – Very hard, low flexibility

H6 – Balanced hardness and flexibility

H3 – Softer, maximum flexibility for moving or expanding surfaces

Special Finishes:

Anti-Slip Texture (H9) – for floors and bathrooms

Eggshell White (H6) – for interior walls or ceilings

Colorized Versions – transparent or opaque finishes with colorants

Coverage: Up to 860 sq. ft. per 32oz (one layer)
Sizes: 160z or 32oz, ready to use

IS UVA TOPCOAT FOOD SAFE?

Yes. UVA Topcoat is non-toxic, PFAS-free, and complies with FDA food-contact regulations. It’s made with high-molecular-weight polymers that do not degrade into harmful substances and are considered Polymers of Low Concern (PLC) under OECD standards.

CAN IT BE USED UNDERWATER?

Yes. UVA Topcoat is an excellent antifouling top layer for marine applications—reducing drag, resisting marine buildup, and improving fuel efficiency. Ideal for boats in motion or stored on land.

IS IT EXPENSIVE?

No. UVA Topcoat replaces complex multi-layer systems with a single-layer solution. It reduces labor, material costs, and maintenance—making it the most cost-efficient high-performance coating per year.

WHAT’S THE WARRANTY?

UVA Topcoat comes with an 8-Year Limited Warranty, valid when:

Applied by certified professionals

Used on newly built concrete wall surfaces

Maintained using SHRE Pure Shine Reactivating Shampoo only

Registered via our online warranty form at www.nano-ceramic.com

HOW DO I MAINTAIN THE COATING?

To keep UVA Topcoat performing at its best:

Wash the surface at least twice per year

Only use SHRE Pure Shine Reactivating Shampoo

Avoid abrasive or unapproved chemicals

Inspect the coated area annually for damage

This keeps the hydrophobic, glossy, and self-cleaning properties fully active.
