About The Entry

X Variable Coatings is a multifunctional bodywork coating that uses special technology to render color transition, antimicrobial property and body cooling available. With colorless and transparent nano-structure color powder included as a component of the paint, X Variable Coatings imitates the structure of butterfly wings with metals and metal oxides. As a result, the car body presents assorted color effects viewed from any angle, responds to the user-specified requests, and infuses new innovative elements to the automotive exterior design. In addition, the metal ions (Zn2+) as a part of the X Variant paint film can also permeate into virus cells, which drastically reduces the survival time of bacteria remaining on the bodywork surface, kill a variety of harmful fungi, microorganisms and organic compounds (e.g.: COVID-19), and also plays a positive part in offering long-term protection and long-acting bacterial suppression. Compared with traditional black and white paints, X Variable Nano Glow White is also conferred the special character of rejecting near-infrared heat radiation, which is expected to inhibit the bodywork surface warming due to infrared radiation. This character delivers a plurality of benefits including reduced bodywork temperature and improved comfort level of occupants. As a result, the in-vehicle air conditioner will be used less with a positive contribution to reducing carbon emissions.
