Why Rocklear?
Icon Rocklear is the most cutting edge surface protection technology in the world today that’s 75x Stronger than other coatings. The only coating to achieve sheer strength, brilliance and depth correction capabilities – Making it the world’s best all in one system.
Whether you have a new or pre-owned car or boat, Icon Rocklear is the only protective and corrective transparent coating that is engineered to stand up to any and all climates and conditions worldwide. By adding up to 1-2 mils of infused depth, Icon Rocklear guarantees the thickest, deepest, most protected shine the industry can offer.
And this protection for your car or boat is also backed up by up to a lifetime warranty against defects.
75x Stronger
25x Thicker
30% More Gloss
Rocklear is 75 times stronger due to the 9H hardness and the thickness of the coating. 25 times thicker than professionally installed ceramic coatings. Rocklear is roughly 1-2 mils (25-50 microns) in thickness compared to ceramic's 1-2 microns of thickness.
Rocklear vs Ceramic
Rocklear
- Icon doesn't require paint correction
- Icon “fills in” the clear coat scratches with the new coating, eliminating the need for paint correction in most cases.
- Eliminates the need to “remove” clearcoat in the paint correction process. Anytime you paint correct or polish, you are removing thickness from the factory clear coat.
- No annual Maintenance Required
- Does NOT require any annual maintenance because its strength isn't in its hydrophobic properties
Ceramic
- When ceramic is applied, paint correction is highly recommended and necessary if there are swirls or scratches, otherwise the ceramic coating will HIGHLIGHT the imperfections.
- Most ceramic coatings require an “annual maintenance” (cost of $200/yr) where we will reapply a top coat layer to keep it hydrophobic, and to keep the warranty valid. If a ceramic coating loses its hydrophobic properties, it will deteriorate fast. It relies on this to keep the contaminates off of the surface.
Accelerated Testing Data
Impact Resistance
-
- 50% more impact resistant than Ceramic
- Lab tested using ASTM D-2794. Impact resistance at 120 in. Ibs.
- (Premium Professional Ceramics) tested at 80 in. Ibs
Salt Spray Testing
-
- 3x More longevity in salty/humid environments
- ASTM B117 Withstood 1000 hours with no visible change
- (Premium Professional Ceramics) withstood 350 hours
Adhesion Testing
-
- ASTM D4541 Aluminum was epoxied to the coated surface and pulled off to test adhesion. It took 540psi to separate the car paint from the metal. The coating did not separate from the car paint.
- (Premium Professional Ceramics) uses ASTM D3359 which tests for adhesion using tape.
Mandrel Bend Test
-
- ASTM D522 A ⅛ in Bend at 180 degrees was made in the coated panel with no cracking.
- (Premium Professional Ceramics) passed the same test
UV Weathering
-
- ASTM D4587 No change in appearance after 1000 hours of extreme UV and condensation exposure
Solvent Resistance Testing
-
- ASTM D4752 MEK was used on a cotton cloth, wrapped around a ball peen hammer and “double rubbed” onto the coated surface. Slight burnished mark was visible after 50 “double rubs”. The same test was completed without MEK, with no visual marks after 50 double rubs.
Scratch Test was completed (non standard test)
-
- A key was rubbed against a 50/50 coated panel. The scratch was started on the non coated area, then to the coated area. The key left a very clear scratch on the non coated area, but the scratch left on the coated area could barely be seen.
Icon Rocklear History
The development team, with a history in coating science since 2012, has consistently provided coatings superior to those of their competitors. However, the emergence of ceramic coatings and robust sealants highlighted a need for significant improvement to maintain a competitive edge.
They resolved to embark on a venture of total commitment, exploring entirely new avenues and researching optimal materials to develop an innovative coating system.
In 2016, Icon Rocklear introduced its initial prototype. Immediate field testing was initiated on over 100 vehicles in one of the most climatically diverse regions on the planet, where temperatures fluctuate between -58°C(-72°F) and 45°C(113°F). The area’s road conditions are exceptionally challenging, featuring gravel, ice, sleet, heavy rain, and intense UV, among others.
Icon Rocklear demonstrated formidable protection in these extreme conditions without any failures. Nonetheless, it was crucial to secure the future of this extraordinary coating system to ensure continued reliability.
Subsequent accelerated lab data testing of Icon Rocklear yielded impressive results, providing undeniable evidence of its ability to offer comprehensive protection against various hazards for an extended period. This confirmed the system’s capability to provide peace of mind through its protective qualities.
