Mercedes Benz's to get Scratch Resistant Nanotech Paint
Mercedes Benz will start producing a new scratch-resistant clear lacquer at the end of 2003. The new ground breaking lacquer benefits from nanotechnology developments
The new scratch resistant lacquer will be used on Mercedes Benz’s E, S, CL, SL and SLK models starting in Spring 2004, which will be the first production cars in the world to benefit from the technology. It will be used on both metallic and non-metallic paint finishes.
The lacquer contains ceramic nanoparticles which offer a three fold increase in scratch resistance over conventional clear coats. This will help the paintwork retain its gloss for a longer period of time.
Mercedes Benz evaluated the new lacquer both in the laboratory as well as in the field using some 150 test vehicles before committing the technology to production. They also used laboratory car wash tests according to European DIN standards.
The new paint as also subjected to chemical resistance testing and ultraviolet exposure testing. In all cases it performed well and proved its readiness for production.

Mercedes-Benz To Use Nanotechnology In Paint
Four years of development are set to pay off for Mercedes-Benz with nanotechnology being used to produce a new clear lacquer. The lacquer uses nano-sized ceramic particles to make it more scratch-resistant than conventional paint.
The paint will initially be used on the E, S, CL, SL and SLK-Class model series. The ceramic nanoparticles harden in the paintshop oven to form an extensive cross-linked network. This network provides a three-fold improvement in the scratch resistance of the paintwork and with a 40 % improvement in paint gloss when compared to conventional clear lacquers.
The paint system is suitable for both metallic and non-metallic paints and also meets Mercedes environmental standards.
Varmasti on, jos kyse on samasta nanotekniikasta, josta taannoin oli juttu TM:ssä. Hiilipohjainen aine on aivan poskettoman kestävää, kovempaa kuin timangi (noin karrikoiden ja käytännössä). Mutta hinnan mainittiin olevan luokkaa 1 milj.€ / kg, tai sinne suuntaan (saa tarkentaa), eli DB:n versio maalissa käytettynä ei taida olla aivan samaa kuin tämä lehdessä esitelty täysprosenttinen
