Excalibur NanoFilm
The world’s first liquid NanoFilm coating: a new category beyond ceramic and PPF.
NanoFilm is not just a coating; it is a protection system that transforms the surface at the molecular level. Unlike PPF it needs no cutting or stretching, saves around 90% of application time, carries zero material waste, and does not bubble, peel, cloud or wear. When removed, it does not damage the paint.

What it is
Excalibur NanoFilm is a liquid-applied surface protection system built on advanced nanotechnology and rheological smart chemistry. It forms a seamless, invisible film over automotive paint that hardens on impact, heals fine scratches with heat and is designed to overcome the shortcomings of ceramic coatings and the drawbacks of PPF.
The technology
Excalibur draws inspiration from advanced engineering such as the laser-assisted surface treatment used on NASA spacecraft, boron carbide ballistic armor coatings and the water- and dust-repellent systems of astronaut helmet visors, and integrates these ideas into its own formulation. Silicon carbide technology, known for high-temperature and impact absorption performance, gives Excalibur its strong UV resistance.
How it differs from ceramic and PPF
- No cutting or stretching like PPF
- Around 90% time savings in application
- Zero material waste during application
- No bubbles, peeling, clouding or wear
- Removal does not damage the paint
- Cost advantage over film systems
Key features
85× thicker protection
Forms a protective layer 85 times thicker than ceramic coating, with a lasting barrier effect against abrasion.
Hardens on impact
A polymer matrix with a thixotropic agent and an energy-absorbing agent stays flexible yet hardens instantly on impact, protecting paint and bodywork.
Heat-activated self-healing
Sunlight, hot water or a heat gun activates the formula, which closes fine scratches over time. Deep scratches and damage that reaches the paint are not covered.
9H+ scratch resistance
Hardness above the 9H level makes the surface highly resistant to scratching and abrasion.
Photocatalytic cleaning & UV resistance
The titanium dioxide formula activates in sunlight to help the surface clean itself and stops UV rays from damaging the paint.
Thermally adaptive
Adapts to extreme heat and cold, adding resistance to impacts, weather changes and temperature swings.
Fluorinated polymer structure
A water contact angle above 125° creates an ultra-hydrophobic surface that water, oil and dirt cannot cling to.
AquaFlow technology
Water runs off quickly instead of pooling, so water spots do not form and drying is faster.
Oleophobic
Repels oil, fuel, dirt and chemical liquids as well as water, preventing stains from forming.
Chemical resistance
Resists acids, road salts, bird droppings, tree sap and petroleum-based chemicals, extending the life of the paint.
Membrane effect
Keeps road salt, bird droppings, tree sap and organic contaminants from etching into the paint.
Pressure-wash resistant
Withstands pressure washing with water and air, lowering long-term maintenance costs.
Antistatic, easy to clean
Prevents electrostatic charge so dust and dirt do not stick, and mud runs off before it builds up.
Flexible, micro-crack resistant
An elastomeric structure moves with the expansion and contraction of the surface, preventing micro-cracks.
Cross-linked polymer network
A spider-web-like matrix fills micro-scratches and helps prevent new cracks.
Nano-crystal gloss
Deepens the natural color of the paint for a showroom-quality gloss.
Stone chip & hail impact
Increases resistance to stone chips and small impacts, keeping the surface smooth and clean for longer.

Frequently asked questions
A liquid-applied NanoFilm that forms an invisible protective film over automotive paint. It hardens on impact, heals fine scratches with heat, repels water and oil, and resists UV, chemicals and corrosion.
Compared with ceramic coatings it builds a protection layer 85 times thicker. Compared with PPF it needs no cutting or stretching, saves around 90% of application time, does not bubble or peel, and comes off without damaging the paint.
Professionally applied Excalibur carries a 2-year protection warranty. After the second year, the warranty continues each year the vehicle receives an Excalibur Care Serum treatment at an authorized center.
Heat-activated self-healing closes fine surface scratches on the film over time. Deep scratches and damage that has already reached the paint are not covered; they should be corrected before application.
Excalibur is applied only by trained, authorized application centers on prepared paint, in two steps: the Xelvin NanoFilm bonding layer followed by Excalibur NanoFilm.
