A bay loses margin in four places.
None of these appear on the film invoice. All of them appear in your labour hours and your rework.
Film that changes hand to hand
A new roll from a new supplier changes how the film stretches and how it shrinks back.
Blade on paint
Cutting on the car turns a two-hour job into a paint repair.
Tools that arrive late
A missing squeegee or blade stops a booked bay for a day.
Training that ends at the first roll
The installer learns on the customer's car, not on a sample.
One coating source, one spec sheet
The grade you approve is the grade you reorder, batch after batch.
Pattern library and plotter
Panel shapes are cut flat before they touch the car.
Tools and chemistry on the same order
Film, blades, slip solution and ceramic boost ship together.
Installer support
Fitment help, video guidance and a named contact for the account.
What a bay actually needs.
Four lines, one purchase order. Mix them against the services you sell, not against a factory minimum.
TPU PPF — Type K, B, R
Three grades from 5 to 10 years, 160–300 μm, gloss and matte. The volume line in most shops.
See the grades
Patterns and plotters
A vehicle database with global model updates, plus vertical and platform cutters.
See the cutting system
Tools and chemistry
1,000+ tool SKUs and 200+ chemical SKUs, from squeegees to ceramic boost.

Warranty follows the base TPU and the coating, quoted as “up to” against the conditions in the warranty document.
| Grade | Base TPU | Coating | Warranty | Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type K | Covestro | Nano ceramic | Up to 5 years | Thickness per selected model specification |
| Type B | BASF Elastollan | Nano silica | Up to 7 years | 160–300 μm |
| Type R | Lubrizol | Nano graphene | Up to 10 years | 160–250 μm |
| Type RCX color | Lubrizol | Nano graphene | Up to 5 years | 7–8 mil |
| Type GCX color | Covestro | Nano silica | Up to 3 years | GCX table: 7.59 mil measured use layer after removing the protective and matte release films. |
From measurement to handover.
The same sequence every time is what makes a shop predictable — and predictable shops can quote fixed prices.
Measure or model
Pick the vehicle in the pattern library, or measure the panel.
Cut flat
Nest and cut on the plotter, not on the paint.
Install
Slip solution, squeegee, edge work, heat.
Aftercare
Cure window, wash guidance and a warranty record for the customer.
