In tensile strength tests, Icon Rocklear demonstrates superior resistance to heavy damage compared to other coatings. Its hard protective layer, measuring up to 63 microns, provides over 75 times the strength of alternative coatings, Making it the only coating to help with resistance to heavy damage such as real world perils, rock chips, & actual car key scratches.

Icon Rocklear stands out in the market with its depth efficiency, allowing certified technicians to apply a coating of 2.5 mils (63 microns) in just one layer, compared to Ceramic Coatings that are only 1-3 microns thick. This is significantly thicker—over 35 times—than Ceramic or Graphene Coatings. Unlike these other coatings, which often require diminishing the clear coat for paint correction, Icon Rocklear adds substantial protection without such reduction, thereby preserving the integrity of the original surface.

Icon Rocklear’s performance in spectrometer testing is indeed impressive, registering a 97% reflective quality over an 85° angle on a five-year-old automotive painted surface1. This level of reflectivity surpasses what has been previously achieved by any other coating. Furthermore, Icon Rocklear’s brilliance is 30% greater than what Ceramic or Graphene coatings can achieve, even when applied in multiple layers2. This exceptional clarity and reflectivity make Icon Rocklear a standout choice for those seeking the highest quality in surface protection technology.

Icon Rocklear has shown remarkable resilience in ASTM D4587 testing, maintaining its appearance after 4000 hours of intense UV and condensation exposure. This test result indicates that it offers up to 20 times the UV protection compared to Ceramic Coatings, highlighting its superior protective capabilities against UV radiation.

Icon Rocklear has proven its superior longevity in salty and humid environments, outperforming other coatings by 300%. In ASTM B117 testing, it withstood 1000 hours without any visible changes, while premium professional ceramics lasted only 350 hours. This demonstrates Icon Rocklear’s exceptional durability and resistance to corrosive conditions.

Lab tests on Icon Rocklear show its exceptional scratch resistance. A test involving a key scratch on a panel half-coated with Icon Rocklear revealed a stark contrast: the uncoated side displayed a clear scratch, while the coated side showed barely any mark. This indicates that Icon Rocklear maintains its integrity after such incidents, unlike other coatings that would require removal and reapplication.

Icon Rocklear showcases a remarkable impact resistance, surpassing ceramics by over 50% in lab tests using the ASTM D-2794 standard. It has been tested to withstand impacts up to 120 inch-pounds, while premium professional ceramics typically test at 80 inch-pounds. This level of impact resistance indicates that Icon Rocklear is a robust choice for protecting against rock and stone chips.

Icon Rocklear offering a unique advantage. It permits the adhesion of vinyl wrap and PPF on top, enhancing the finish with its underlying brilliance and serving as a protective layer against paint peeling when films are removed. Additionally, Icon Rocklear supports paint refinishing over its coating, eliminating the need for removal. For comprehensive details, it’s best to consult with an Icon Rocklear installation facility.

In the ASTM D4541 adhesion test, Icon Rocklear was subjected to a rigorous evaluation where aluminum was bonded to the coated surface and then forcibly removed. The test required a substantial force of 540psi to detach the paint from the metal, yet the coating itself remained firmly attached to the paint, showcasing its exceptional adhesion properties1. This method contrasts with the ASTM D3359 tape test used for Premium Professional Ceramics, which measures adhesion by applying and removing tape over cuts in the coating.

Icon Rocklear’s ICE technology (Interlocking Coating Enforcement) allows for corrections by a certified technician if the coating is damaged. Its depth and strength enable such repairs, and in extreme cases, it can be reapplied over itself without removing the basecoat. This feature positions Icon Rocklear as a long-term solution, ensuring a renewed finish for the lifetime of a vehicle or boat. It’s not merely a coating; it’s a comprehensive system designed to last.

Icon Rocklear has successfully passed the ASTM D522 test, which involves bending a coated panel at a 180-degree angle to a ⅛ inch radius without any cracking. This test is crucial for determining the flexibility and durability of coatings on various substrates. Premium Professional Ceramics have also passed this test, indicating that both products maintain their integrity under extreme bending.

Icon Rocklear has a zero-maintenance feature, eliminating the need for regular washes or annual reapplications that are common with other coatings. This hassle-free approach not only saves time but also reduces long-term costs. While no routine maintenance is necessary, following the manufacturer’s care recommendations can help ensure optimal performance and longevity of the coating. Icon Rocklear Certified Shops can provide guidance and services if any damage occurs, maintaining the coating’s pristine condition.
