What's GLATION  ?

We have stores in all over of Japan, specializing in various coatings including Glass Coatings. We stock coating materials from various manufactures around the world, so we can propose coating materials to meet your needs.
Currently, the main treatment is glass coatings, but it was originally applied to the technology of bulletproof glass, and it is used for window glass, exteriors, interiors sheets and car tires.
Glass coating has impact resistance, hardening, water repellent, electromagnetic wave cut, fire resistance, antibacterial effect, deodorizing effect. Recently, it has become popular to install various of accessories for maintenance,beautification, and regeneration.
We coat glass for smart phones, tablets ( iPads), glasses, sunglasses, watches ( Rolex, applewatch), wallets, shoes, bicycles, fishing rods, gold, business card cases, diaries, etc. Regardless of color of your item, they are all be coated by glass.
In our stores, customers can send their items, directly bring it to one of our stores, or If you have a large numbers of items want to be coat or your item is really big like a car, our staffs can go to their place and do construction there.
Our staffs are trained to do Glass Coating, so we are always welcome you to come and use our service.

What is '' Coating''?

Coating is originally used in the automotive industry, but the specializing is moving larger from polymer to glass and then to ceramic. As purpose of use, by covering a surface of the paint with a film, It was the main construction for protecting the paint on a car from oxidation and scratches and maintain the luster.。Originally car paint is painted from 3 layers to 4 layers, it is giving a gloss by applying the clear paint on the outermost side。By further applying a glass coating on this clear paint, it is possible to "stronger the gloss" and "protect the paint from oxidation and scratches"。

Differences between Glass coatings and Polymer-based coatings

Polymer-based coatings have become very popular because of their ease of construction and strong gloss. However, because of the film is soft and contains a lot of oil components, so it hard to keep the film for a long time. And regularly maintenance or re-construction is be required.Glass coatings form is a hard coating materials, so they are less deteriorate than polymers, and they have be kept for a long time.

Advantages and disadvantages of Glass coating

The glass coating is said to be wax-free, but the biggest advantage is persistence of the gloss by the hard coating.And it is not only resistant from scratches, it is also difficult to cause chemical changes, the hard coating is also prevent the product from water and wash away the dirty easily.A great advantage for users who do not have enough time to clean things because the dirt can be easily taken away just by some movements. In addition, maintenance the beautiful status for a long time is the good thing if you decide to sell your product with high price. In the contrast, one of the disadvantages is the construction fee is high. It takes time to apply the hard glass coating , and if you ask for a professional, it means that is costs more than the glass coating material purchased on the market.
It will be up to users to see is the price worth for the results or not. And wearing a hard glass coating it means it can not be replace easily. Recently, glass coating is available on markets, it means glass coating can be done by themselves, but the results may vary depending on of the method of construction.
Glass coatings have two categories : glass- based coatings and glass coatings.
There are various types of car coatings. Currently there are body coatings such as glass based coatings, Glass coatings and Ceramic coatings.
Before explain about Ceremic coatings, let's get some information about glass coatings first.
There are 2 types of Glass coating. They are Glass coatings and Glass based coatings. The difference is Glass coatings use a glass agent ( inorganic solvent) free of organic matter. But Glass-based coatings are characterized by the inclusion of '' organic solvent'' such as fluorine, silicon and oil.
Because of the difference, glass- based coatings are easier to install and the price is cheaper than glass- coatings. But glass- coating has a higher degree of difficulty in construction and higher durability.

Which one is better: Glass coatings or Glass-based coatings?

Firstly, What is the difference between them?
The difference is Glass coatings use a glass agent ( inorganic solvent) free of organic matter. But Glass-based coatings are characterized by the inclusion of '' organic solvent'' such as fluorine, silicon and oil.

Organic and Inorganic solvents

In general, glass coating and glass-based coatings have a low concentration of coatings and easy to apply. Because the reason is we use organic solvent in coatings.
Coatings containing organic solvent are slow to dry, easy to wipe and easy to apply so you can do it by yourself at home. However, the effect is reduced compared to the inorganic solvent glass coating.

Film structure with high self- cleaning ability.

Glass coating is also used in exterior walls of ships or buildings and flooring. Because of the high self-cleaning ability, so after a rain the light dirty such as dust can be cleaned easily and become beautiful without much care. In addition, the glass coating exhibits excellent adhesion, so it can be applied to accessories, wallets and PCs.
One of the attractiveness is the high self-cleaning ability can reduce the frequency of cleaning.
※Of course, Cleaning is necessity in some case.

Features of Glass-based Coatings

As we said below, glass-based coatings contain organic solvents, and there are many cases where the concentration of the coating agent is low. It causes the coating film to be thin. As the result, dirt easily penetrates the painted surface, and dues to ultraviolet light and acid rain tends to be severe. After applied the glass coating in half a year it has lost its effect! Such things are also considered to be the cause of the glass-based coating. On the other hand, the good things of glass-based coating are easy to install and the material is cheap, so the cost you have to pay it might be cheaper.

Features of Glass Coating

Glass- coating is an inorganic solvents, so it resists UV rays and protects the paint film strongly. Compared to glass-based coatings, it is more resistant to acid rain and thicker coatings, so it is difficult for dirt to penetrate the painted surface and maintain is easier. The high concentration of coatings makes the install more difficult, and required skilled workers, knowledge and equipment. So it is difficult for mass retailers and individuals to install.

Features of Resin coating.

We also have resin coating. Resin coating is a coating agent with excellent gross because it is mostly an organic solvent. However, scratch resistance performance also tends to be very weak due to poor UV resistance and soft coating. In addition, resin-based coatings have the disadvantage that oil-based organic stains and other organic stains are easily fixed.

About Ceramic Coating

Recently Ceramic coating has become more popular. There are numbers of people never heard about ceramic coating but in fact it is more durable than glass coatings which is becoming a branch. Ceramic coating is hard coating, it can make a excellent gloss. And because of a superior body coating agent it is strongly recommended for cars with any colors.
Ceramic is a compound consisting of metal, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, etc. In addition it is very strong, abrasion resistance performance, high rain stain resistance performance, and it is characterized by luster due to specular gloss. There is also have feature that protects from chemical resistance and ultraviolet ray resistance and graffiti etc. Fried pans are typical for products that are used ceramic materials and have been used in various field such as dentists. However for vehicles ceramic coating is used for the performance that defeats conventional wisdom.
Coating hardness is high, and by using it for vehicles, the coating agent can protect the body strongly and reduce scratches. By overlaying several workers of ceramic coating, you can protect your car from scratches and keep its brightness longer.

What is the differences from Glass coating??

The difference is that the solvents used is completely different, and the fact that it is possible to reduce the deposition of the rain stains, which is also a disadvantage of glass-based coatings for ceremic.
Even with a great performance but have many people never heard about ceramic coating.
On the other hand, ceramic coatings are more difficult to apply than glass coatings made of inorganic solvents, and even experienced technicians have difficulty in applying them. So do not have many stores can handle it, that why the name of ceramic coating is not be heard often.
So it is no exaggeration to say that ceramic coatings only can be applied to a limited number of specialty stores.

The reason why our store handles many coating agents.

The reason for applying the glass coating may be vary depending on the person!
Some people want to be water repellent, or want to improve the gloss, or want to return the deteriorated, or want to keep a new state longer, etc. We want to solve many needs so we decided to do glass coating. Also, depending on the color and the material, one kind of coating agent is not enough to provide to the customer's needs in consideration of the hardness of the surface.

Feel free to ask us anything!

We will strive to achieve the effect we are seeking from the motto of providing the coating we encountered. In addition, we will give you all imformation about coating agent according to the product, so please feel free to ask any questions.
