RV FEATURE
OPTIVAN IN DETAIL !

Alongside a house and cars , a new caravan represents one of life ’ s big purchases . It also represents a lifestyle , something to aspire to , to keep us motivated in our lives . It makes sense , then , that we ’ d want to protect that investment , to give it the best possible chance of remaining in as-new condition for as long as possible .
As in the automotive industry , there are a few options when it comes to protective coatings for caravans , motorhomes and
campers . One of these is OptiVAN , a graphene ceramic surface protection specifically for caravans , campers and motorhomes that has been independently tested to 9H + on the Mohs mineral hardness scale with an average thickness of seven to nine microns .
For reference , 1 is the hardness equivalent of talc , and 10 is the equivalent of diamond . According to OptiVAN , the ‘+’ refers to the fact it tested beyond a 9 . The upshot : this seven to nine-micronthick 9H + graphene ceramic coating is ‘ almost ’ as scratchresistant as diamond and two to three times thicker than other ceramics available . I wouldn ’ t mind that protecting the finish of my next RV .
