Difference Between Silicone Dioxide Coatings and Graphene Coatings
Silicone coatings are often labeled as ceramic or SiO2 coatings, and they create a slick, hydrophobic layer using silicone dioxide.
Graphene coatings use graphene oxide, known for its extreme strength, conductivity, and heat resistance.
Graphene coatings tend to last longer and are more durable under extreme conditions.
Silicone coatings need reapplication more often, especially with exposure to harsh weather or chemicals.
Whilst Silicone Coatings have an amazing Water Repellent effect. Graphene coatings focus more on water sheeting (water flows off the surface in sheets), which can reduce water spotting.
Graphene is better at resisting extreme heat and environmental contaminants like bird droppings, tree sap, or hard water.
Both coatings are excellent, and it's up to the user to choose the one that best fits their needs. However, they come at different price points. Contact us today to discover which ceramic coating is best suited for your vehicle.
