At Liquifel, we closely follow every innovation that impacts professional automotive care. One of the most talked-about technologies internationally is SPP (Spray Paint Protection) , a system that promises to replace traditional PPF film with a sprayable, flexible, and completely transparent liquid film .
Although it is not yet available in the Chilean market , its concept is revolutionizing the way paint is protected in countries where it is already being tested.
🔬 What is SPP?
Spray Paint Protection is a liquid protective film that is applied to the car body using a spray gun or HVLP system.
When it dries, it forms a transparent, peelable membrane , similar to PPF, but without visible cuts or seams .
This layer acts as a physical barrier against micro-scratches, insects, resin, acid rain and UV radiation, keeping the original paint intact and with its factory shine.
⚙️ How does it work?
Its technology combines elastomeric resins and high-performance polymers that, when cured, generate a continuous and self-healing film.
Depending on the manufacturer, the thickness can vary between 150 and 300 microns , achieving real protection against abrasion and contaminants.
Main technical features:
- High transparency and deep shine.
- Hydrophobic properties (beading effect).
- Resistance to solvents and neutral detergents.
- Removable without damaging the paint .
- Compatible with automotive lacquers and varnishes.
⚖️ SPP vs traditional PPF
| Aspect | PPF (Film) | SPP (Spray) |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Manual, adhesive | Sprayed, self-leveling |
| Visible edges | Yeah | No |
| Repair | Partial, requires cutting | Locally reapplied |
| Installation cost | High | Potentially lower |
| Innovation | Consolidated technology | Expanding |
🌎 Current situation in Chile
To date, there are no local manufacturers or distributors that officially market SPP.
However, their arrival seems only a matter of time: the global trend points towards professional liquid protection solutions , faster to apply, with less waste and an OEM finish.
At Liquifel, we believe that this type of technology can complement professional detailing and open new opportunities in automotive workshops and aesthetic centers across the country.
🚗 Our vision
Liquifel is characterized by exploring and adapting international innovations to the Chilean context.
We will continue to investigate the advancement of SPP and similar technologies, with the aim of offering advanced coatings in the future that combine ease of application, durability and professional aesthetics .
