Science Behind ToughGuard
The ToughGuard paint sealant product is a one-of-a-kind surface protective coating in that it incorporates a unique natural, inorganic resin that is derived from two distinct and rare minerals that are minded from the earth. These organic minerals are transposed into liquid form during the manufacturing process and then blended with eleven other components at just the right time and temperature specifications. The TG paint sealant product is an extremely complex and exact formula that sets it a part from all other competitive products.
It’s the “Resin”! The resin when cured onto to paint, clear-coat or gel-coat physically bonds to the surface. It doesn’t just lay on top of the surface like all other products – it mechanically bonds with the paint, clear-coat or gel-coat. This resin, when cured, becomes a true protective barrier layer that protects the paint, clear-coat and/or gel-coat from harmful environmental elements such as: UV Rays, chemicals, volcanic ash, pollution, bird droppings and insect splats, salt water and tree sap.
Not only does the TG Paint Sealant provide unmatched protection against harmful environmental elements, it significantly enhances the paint, clear-coat and gel-coat. Verified gloss meter readings of 98.3 (at 85 degrees). The depth of shine and gloss are greatly increased with the use of the TG Paint Sealant.
Third party testing conducted by NIAR (National Institute of Aviation Research proved that TG Paint Sealant brilliantly withstands and protects against the unforgiving and increasingly destructive Ultra Violet rays. TG Paint Sealant maintains color and gloss even in the most severe conditions on earth.
