Good Points of Applying Glass for Bicycles

Carefully Applying Glass one by one!

Our service is a service to apply nano glass coating which applied bulletproof glass technology.
The hardness of nano glass coating is three times stronger then normal high-grade tempered glass film, so it could be called “ painting glass”.
By applying glass coating for your game machine, not only the screen becomes difficult to crack, but various effects can be obtained.

There are Six Advantages of Applying Glass for Bicycles!

Durability

We hold film for 14 years with vehicle parked outdoors, and keep film in severe environment. The first advantage is that you can prevent the paint from being scratched because the coating is made in the form of glass on the surface of the frame. Also, unlike wax, it adheres to the surface as an individual, so it does not flow due to moisture such as rain.

Lightweight Construction

The coating thickness of the glass coating is a very thin thickness of about 0.03 mm or less. The weight of the application can be increased to 1 g even if the entire road bike is coated.

Rust Prevention (Oxidation Prevention)

Do you have any experience that accessories have become dark or rusted?Metals will rust due to sweat, condensation or rain on the surface. Gold, platinum and silver is difficult to rust, but the components of human sweat is different, so can not make sure that things will not be rusted. Nano glass is liquid glass before application, the liquid enters the invisible small unevenness on the metal surface of the accessory and hardens it to vitrify the surface。After applied, the accessory body will not be in direct contact with oxygen and moisture, and rust can be prevented.

Gloss is Up

The nano glass is the liquid so they can enters form in the uneven gap on the surface, so the glossiness is increased by the surface.

Scratches Prevention

Because the liquid glass can be applied to all materials other than stretchable rubber, it can be applied regardless of the color, materials such as track pad, controller, resin part of the appearance as well as liquid crystal part. And the surface is covered with nano glass, so it can anti-scratch surface of scratch-resistant resin part。

Water Repellent

One of the features of the Glass Coating is high water repellent. Water resistance is provided in the case of iPhone 7 or higher generation , but there is a risk of being submerged because it is not waterproof, but because glass coating solvent has a feature that can repellent water so it is really difficult to be submerged.

About Price

What is Glass Coating?

Italy, America or Canada have various prices of road bicycles depending on each maker, and if they are cheap, they will cost 50,000 yen or more, sometimes they even cost nearly 700,000. And if only the frame they can gets scratched.
And Glass Coating can helps you protect your bicycle.
Glass Coating is the thinnest coating ( about 0,003mm) by applying a special liquid glass to a smartphone. The glass coating completely hardens in about 20 days after application and reaches a hardness of about 9H.
The surface of the accessory is protected by tempered glass, which makes the accessory less to be break or scratched.
Besides, there are various things such as discoloration, rust prevention and metal allergy prevention.
The installation time of the glass coating is as short as about 5 minutes to 15 minutes, and once it has been installed it will last for over 3 years, so it can be used for a long time.
(※In GLATION brand, we are allowed to assume 1 year as a guarantee period。)
In addition, liquid glass technology used for this glass coating is recognized as authorized material such as exterior of F company which is famous for sports car and the proud S trunk of Japan because of its high curing performance and water repellent.

Is It Okay if There are Scratches Before Applying Glass?

Dirty bicycles are often accompanied by sebum and sweat as well as hard dust and other matter, and when wiped with a dry cloth they will be dragged on the surface of the coating and scratch the coating.
By applying a glass coating in our shop, it is possible to fill existing scratches with nano units, so minor scratches will not be noticeable.
The glass coating agent used in GLATION uses the same thing as the world-renowned F company as a high-class sports car, and the coating agent that major domestic carriers started selling too.
The solvent has strong water-repellent and hydrophilicity, so light washing with water will make oil stains be floated and make it possible to clean normally without damaging accessories.

About the difference with "Wax"

"A feature of the wax with the duration is in about one month.
Waxes can not play a role in protecting them from scratching.
It is easy to get dirty by the rain, and sometimes it gets more dirty due to the oil content。And Wax only can keep its feature in one month. Iron powder is easy to adhere and stains are easy to occur. And the biggest drawback is that there is almost no effect to protect the painted surface."
The material used for "Wax" is made out of shiny with the vegetable resin "natural carnauba wax" taken from palm leaves.
Wax itself is solvent-based oil-based, so it has the property of repelling water and preventing dirt. The volatilization of the organic solvent causes the film to deteriorate.
Therefore, repainting is necessary.

JIS-approved test data

Impact resistance test / Dupont type (JIS adopted): This product is applied to a steel plate, and a test of dropping a 500-gram weight from 50 cm.
Pencil hardness test (JIS adopted): It is a test to measure the hardness of the paint film and to check if the paint film has the specified hardness.
This product will have a hardness of 4H after construction, but will have a hardness of 9H after about 20 to 30 days (water repellent → hydrophilic) 9 9H is the maximum hardness ※ By the way, baked ceramic resin coating is 7H, so more than that It is a result that hardness is high.
Electron Microscopy Test: A single solvent application and water catalysis will result in 6 glass layers. And if the construction is done 3 times, 6 layers x 3 times = 18 layers of glass coating. ← 4 times 5 times construction is also possible
It is very safe when using experimental data.
Glation's guarantees the effect of glass coating for one year.
If you do not have time, are busy, and can not usually do cleaning or maintenance, please use them.
