ABOUT KMKZ PPF
"Solution PPF Created by a Coating Manufacturer"
KAMIKAZE COLLECTION, which has been focusing solely on polishing and coating in the overseas market, developed the initial "KMKZ PPF" after several years of research and verification of existing PPF, driven by the increasing demand for PPF both domestically and internationally.
Several years have passed since then, and the improved version of PPF, which has undergone repeated refinements, is the current KMKZ PPF.
THEORY
The CEO's primary focus was on the texture, specifically the "applied feel." The goal was to achieve a texture that barely alters the orange peel or skin feel of the painted surface, combined with a smooth, non-vinyl-like touch. Furthermore, the aim was to provide water repellency and antifouling performance that belies its PPF nature, thanks to our specialty top coat. From a detailing perspective, we guarantee a finish that is distinctly different from other companies' PPF in terms of "beauty."
KPU PERFORMANCE
In the conventional film market, window glass film materials are mainly classified into TPU and PET.
PET is extremely clear and has minimal distortion, but it requires heat forming during installation. Therefore, there are cases where the types of vehicles that can be installed are physically limited, and a certain level of skill is required for installation. Even with skilled technology, installation takes time, and heat forming becomes very difficult when the glass molding of special cars is made of rubber or resin.
Also, the hard top coat on the surface starts to peel off in about a year, and the visibility and water repellency drop sharply after a certain period.
TPU is a TPU film for windows produced by changing the adhesive and molding method during production from the PPF for bodies.
Although installation is easy, there are problems such as distortion in visibility and poor visibility during nighttime driving. Also, water stains and yellowing are more visible on transparent window glass, and the durability is considered to be less than one year.
KPU is a new generation material that uses Japanese materials, similar to EPU, but with a harder surface closer to PET, while enabling easy installation comparable to TPU with steam installation.
Also, regarding surface distortion, although it does not reach the level of PET, it has reached a level close to it through improvements in the production process for more than two years.
Also, the water repellency of the surface has sufficient water repellency to function for a long period of time.
Like other KMKZ PPF, we release solutions and improved products for existing market products.
KPU has the potential to change the future market as a new material.
PRODUCTION
Our PPF was previously manufactured in Japan. However, due to the Japanese manufacturing system where each layer is produced in different factories, leading to multiple transports and deployments that compromise quality, we now manufacture entirely within China at a factory capable of integrated production (only three such factories exist in China). We export Japanese-made TPU and top-layer coating components, use the same US-made ASHLAND adhesive as a well-known brand, and employ resin from the leading manufacturer BASF.
We use only the highest quality materials and conduct all production in-house through our custom manufacturing process. This results in a protection film designed in Japan and produced overseas for the global market, considering world-standard performance and per-roll cost. We have a track record of installation and delivery to select stores in the Japanese market and 40 stores in the overseas market.
PROTECTION & MAINTENANCE
While many film manufacturers consider coating and maintenance products as mere accessories, KMKZ places significant value on them. KMKZ PPF COAT, released as a PPF surface-specific coating to maximize our PPF's performance, is the result of development by us, who released the world's first PPF-specific curing film agent eight years ago. For maintenance, we offer KMKZ ACID SHAMPOO or KMKZ WATER SPOT, acidic chemicals to manage "stains," the biggest enemy of PPF, and KMKZ AMAZING GLAZE, which removes oxidized films and yellowing. For those who want to maintain the most beautiful condition and ensure reliable maintenance, KMKZ PPF's comprehensive aftercare is a key attraction.
ABOUT DATA CUT SOFTWARE & PLOTTER
Looking at the current market, cutting data is shared within the B2B market, except for companies like X and S. We plan to release software that shares data with a well-known brand shortly. It will support features like deleting or adding parts, enlarging edge areas, and increasing wrap-around. Annual: 330,000 yen (excluding tax) unlimited. Annual: 120,000 yen (excluding tax) up to 250㎡2. We are also evaluating multiple plotters specialized for PPF cutting in practical use, aiming to provide them for under 400,000 yen.
- Size: 48 inches = 121 cm x 15 meters
- Production Country: China (Adhesive: US-made, Resin & Top Layer: Japanese-made)
