Professional Base Coat
Strength and flexibility in one ceramic layer
Most ceramic coatings are either hard or flexible, the SiNH Base Coat is engineered to be both. Si-N-H technology delivers H9-rated hardness while the resin component keeps the film elastic enough to move with the bodywork, preventing thermal cracking and allowing micro-scratches to self-repair under heat.
Why SiNH Base Coat
Protection engineered beyond the standard
Four reasons professional detailers trust SiNH Base Coat on their best work.
-
Si-N-H Resin Formula
Combines Si-N-H ceramic strength with flexible resin to prevent cracking through temperature cycles.
-
ISO-Certified Hardness
Abrasion resistance tested to ISO 20566:2013 shows twice the durability of bare, untreated paint.
-
600 °C Heat Resistance
Rated to 600 °C, making it the only Innovacar coating suitable for brake callipers and hot metal components.
-
5-6 Year Service Life
Certified external laboratory testing confirms protection that holds up for 5-6 years under real conditions.
How does it stack up?
Innovacar SiNH Base Coat vs a typical cheaper ceramic coating
Not all ceramic coatings are built the same. Here is an honest look at where the Innovacar SiNH Base Coat differs from a typical budget option, and where both products genuinely compete.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| High-gloss finish after application | Yes | Yes |
| UV, acid rain and corrosion resistance | Yes | Yes |
| Micro-scratch self-repair under heat | Yes | No |
| Certified for use on brake callipers up to 600 °C | Yes | No |
| Abrasion resistance verified by ISO 20566:2013 external lab testing | Yes | No |
| Budget-friendly entry price | No | Yes |
Built for the Long Haul
5-6 years of certified, lab-verified protection
Innovacar had the SiNH Base Coat verified by certified external laboratories, confirming its 5-6 year service life and its two-times greater abrasion resistance versus bare paint under ISO 20566:2013 test conditions. For professional detailers who stand behind their work, that paper trail matters.

Very easy application, flash-time is great and overall a great product. Highly recommend!
Questions
Frequently asked
What surfaces can the SiNH Base Coat be applied to?
It is designed primarily for painted bodywork but is also suitable for brake callipers and high-temperature metal components thanks to its 600 °C heat resistance. It can be layered on glass and wheels as well, though always ensure the surface is fully decontaminated and corrected before application.
How do I apply the SiNH Base Coat?
Work on a clean, polished and decontaminated surface in a cool, shaded environment. Apply a thin, even coat using a suede or microfibre applicator block in straight, overlapping lines. Allow the coating to flash until it becomes slightly tacky, then level with a clean, soft microfibre. Avoid working in direct sunlight or high humidity.
What is the flash time and full cure time?
Flash time varies with temperature and humidity but typically falls between 1 and 3 minutes per panel in controlled conditions. Full cure takes approximately 7 days, during which the vehicle should be kept dry and away from harsh chemicals. The coating continues to harden progressively after the initial set.
How long does the SiNH Base Coat last?
Innovacar's certified external laboratory testing confirms a service life of 5-6 years under monitored conditions. Real-world durability depends on maintenance, environmental exposure and whether a compatible ceramic top coat is applied over the base.
Can I layer multiple coats, and how many are recommended?
Yes, and it is encouraged. Two to three layers build a thicker film that begins to simulate the micro-impact absorption of a PPF protective film. Allow each layer to flash and partially cure before applying the next. Layering also enhances the coating's self-repair capability at elevated temperatures.
Does it work as a standalone coating or only as a base coat?
It can be used as a standalone ceramic coating and delivers H9 hardness and full protection on its own. Its designation as a base coat reflects its role in a system where a compatible Innovacar top coat is applied over it to add hydrophobic performance and gloss depth, but it is fully capable solo.
What machine or pad do I pair with SiNH Base Coat?
SiNH Base Coat is applied by hand using a suede or foam applicator block, not a machine. It is a coating, not a polish. The surface should be correction-ready before you apply it, with all swirl marks and scratches addressed at the polishing stage beforehand.
Is the SiNH Base Coat resistant to automatic car washes and chemicals?
Yes. External laboratory abrasion testing conducted to ISO 20566:2013 using an alkaline prewash and quartz powder simulated automatic car wash conditions. The coated surface showed two times greater abrasion resistance compared to an untreated surface. The coating is also rated resistant to UV, acids, alkanes, acid rain and limescale.
