Koch Chemie Ceramic Body Cb0.01 Long-Lasting Ceramic Coating

Koch Chemie Ceramic Body Cb0.01 Long-Lasting Ceramic Coating comes in a 30ml bottle. The thin layer bonds chemically with the paintwork, providing hydrophobic water beading and an easier-to-clean surface. The product information lists a hardness of 9H. Once cured, the coating offers acid and alkali resistance, helping to protect against oxidation, salt, acids and insects. It is positioned as a long-lasting coating of around 36 months, with expected durability of 36 months or more, and can also be applied in two layers for enhanced protection. Compared with 1K-Nano, which offers around 1 year of protection with a single-step application, Cb0.01 places greater emphasis on longevity but also requires more rigorous paintwork preparation.

Preparation: Before polishing and sealing, wash the vehicle thoroughly with an alkaline solution, such as Green Star diluted at 1:10. Do not use a shampoo containing sealants. First remove heavier contamination such as resin, iron particles and bitumen using red or blue detailing clay, Teerwäsche A Tar and Bitumen Remover or similar products. Depending on the paintwork condition, machine polish with Heavy Cut compound or Fine Cut polish, then thoroughly remove polishing residue with polishing and microfibre towels. Gently wipe all surfaces with a clean towel soaked in silicone oil and wax remover or Panel Preparation Spray, then immediately wipe dry with another fresh towel to remove surfactants, drying agents and oils that could affect adhesion. Check under suitable lighting that there are no scratches or holograms, then avoid touching the paintwork with your palms or fingers. Gloves are recommended.

Application: Apply a suitable amount of Cb0.01 to a coating sponge and quickly spread it evenly over the paintwork. After two crosswise passes, a thin, complete liquid film should form. Allow the product's iridescent sheen to evaporate, generally around 5-8 minutes; the actual time depends on temperature and humidity, with higher temperatures and humidity shortening the evaporation time. Then wipe with a coating towel. Crystals may form around the bottle opening when opened. Do not allow crystals to contact the application towel, as they may scratch the surface being treated.

Precautions and aftercare: Read the warnings on the container or outer packaging before use and take appropriate protective measures. Gloves are recommended. Apply indoors or in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight and dust. After washing, Hydro Foam Sealant S0.03 diluted at 1:50 to 1:200 can be used as a wet sealant, or Spray Sealant S0.02 can be used as a booster after 24 hours.

• Thoroughly pre-wash or wash the vehicle with an alkaline cleaner, such as Green Star diluted at 1:10; do not use a shampoo with a sealing effect. First treat stubborn contamination such as resin, rust and tar with detailing clay or Teerwäsche A.
• Machine polish with Heavy Cut or Fine Cut according to the paintwork condition; treat lightly weathered paintwork and holograms left by heavy polishing with Micro Cut and a dual-action polisher; completely remove polishing residue with a Polish and Sealing Towel.
• Gently wipe all surfaces with a clean cloth dampened with Silicon- & Wachsentferner or Panel Preparation Spray, then immediately wipe dry with another clean cloth before it dries completely; when using the former on sensitive solid-colour or single-stage paintwork, dilute with water at 1:4, preferably distilled water. Check that the surface is free of scratches and holograms; wear gloves thereafter and do not touch the surface with your palms or fingers.
• Apply sufficient Cb0.01 to an Application Sponge (an application block with an Application Towel can also be used), and quickly spread it over one body panel at a time in two crosswise passes to form a thin, continuous liquid film. Once the solvent has evaporated, use a Coating Towel to remove excess product, then use a clean side to level it with circular motions without pressure; inspect under suitable lighting to ensure there is no residue build-up.
• Evaporation time depends on temperature and humidity: the higher both are, the shorter the time required; the official example is around 6 minutes at 20°C and 43% relative humidity. Use around 15–30 ml per vehicle, depending on its size.
• If applying two layers, allow the first layer to dry for around 30 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity. Weather resistance is achieved after at least 24 hours; the first wash must be no earlier than day 9, and curing takes longer below 15°C. After 24 hours, Spray Sealant S0.02 or Hand Wax W0.01 is recommended to protect the coating while it has not yet fully cured.
• Store for a maximum of 6 months after opening, and check for crystallisation before use. Hand washing is recommended; use Green Star (1:10) for alkaline cleaning, Gentle Snow Foam for neutral cleaning, and Reactivation Shampoo for deep cleaning of mineral contamination; after washing, use Hydro Foam Sealant S0.03 (1:50–1:200) or Spray Sealant S0.02 for aftercare.

• Exterior paintwork on passenger cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, motorhomes, touring caravans and boats.

• Flammable liquid and vapour; harmful if swallowed; causes severe skin burns and eye damage; may cause an allergic skin reaction; may be fatal if swallowed and enters airways; harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.
• Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks and open flames. No smoking; do not breathe vapour or spray; wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye protection and face protection; avoid release to the environment.
• If swallowed, immediately contact a poison centre or doctor. Do not induce vomiting; if on skin or hair, immediately remove contaminated clothing and rinse with water; if in eyes, rinse cautiously for several minutes, remove contact lenses if easy to do, then continue rinsing.
• Store in a cool, well-ventilated place; dispose of contents and container at an approved waste disposal facility.
• Read the hazard warnings on the container or outer box before use and take protective measures; check the bottle opening for crystals and prevent them from contacting application tools and scratching the surface; avoid cleaners with a pH below 3 or above 12.
• Keep out of reach of children; if medical advice is needed, have the product container or label at hand.
