MORE THAN A FANCY WORD
OptiVAN is not a DIY treatment . It is applied by professionals before the van is handed over to customers – much like in the automotive industry . In fact , the company behind OptiVAN , Protection Brands , is one of the principal suppliers of protective coatings to some of the biggest names in transport , from Boeing to Mercedes-Benz , Qantas to Mazda . However , OptiVAN is also suitable for second-hand vans and has agents around the country .
But what , exactly , does it do ? Ultimately , it ’ ll protect all exterior and interior surfaces from stains , UV and other environmental damage , oxidisation , discolouration , and much more . If you ’ ve ever tried to scrub bug guts off the front of your van after a trip , or berry-splatter that has caked on the aluminium , you ’ d know what a joy it would be to be able to clean the van with nothing more than soap , water and a wipe . Insect and other matter can be quite acidic , too , which over time will diminish the exterior finish .
As mentioned , this ceramic coating contains graphene . This isn ’ t just a fancy word to make the product sound advanced . Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms that is much – much – stronger than the strongest steel , making it a very important component of OptiVAN . Think of it as a super-material with applications that are still being discovered and imagined in industries from electronics to space travel .
