Si-N-H Technology
The strongest hydrophobics in the Innovacar ceramic range
SiNH Top Coat H5 is built on Innovacar's proprietary Si-N-H nanoceramic chemistry - a step beyond SiO2 that forms a highly elastic, chemical-resistant barrier on your paint. Water doesn't just bead; it sheets cleanly, taking contamination with it and leaving the surface dry and slick.
Why SiNH Top Coat H5
Built for detailers who want real results
Four reasons professionals choose this coating over conventional SiO2 options.
-
Unmatched Water Repellency
The Si-N-H system delivers the best beading and sheeting performance in the entire Innovacar ceramic range.
-
4-5 Year Durability
Lab-certified at an independent facility using ISO 20566:2013 for gloss and hydrophobicity retention.
-
Fast Flash, No IR Lamp
Flashes in approximately 20 minutes at 23°C and 50% RH - full cure without specialised equipment.
-
Anti-Static Lotus Effect
Dirt and dust repellency between washes means less frequent decon and gentler maintenance wash stages.
How does it stack up?
Innovacar SiNH H5 vs a typical entry-level ceramic coating
Not all ceramic coatings perform the same. Here is an honest look at where the Innovacar SiNH H5 stands out, and where a decent budget alternative holds its own.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| SiO2-based ceramic barrier for paint protection | Yes | Yes |
| Hydrophobic water beading and sheeting | Yes | Yes |
| Si-N-H nanoceramic formula with top-tier hydrophobic performance in its product family | Yes | No |
| ISO 20566:2013 laboratory-certified gloss retention and surface hydrophobicity | Yes | No |
| Rated 4-5 year durability tested under both automatic and manual wash conditions | Yes | No |
| Budget-friendly price point accessible to first-time users | No | Yes |
No Lamp. No Compromise.
Professional-grade durability without the booth
Rated 4-5 years and verified at an independent laboratory, SiNH Top Coat H5 reaches a full cure at room temperature in roughly 20 minutes - no IR lamp required. That means the same certified result whether you are working in a controlled studio or out of a van.

So far it's good quality and makes the car really hydrophobic. Yet to see how long it lasts.
Questions
Frequently asked
What surfaces can SiNH Top Coat H5 be applied to?
The coating is designed primarily for cleared paint panels - bonnet, roof, doors, bumpers and mirrors. It is compatible with most automotive clear coats. For glass, wheels and trim, check the Innovacar range for dedicated formulations, as those substrates have different surface energies and expansion rates that can affect adhesion and longevity.
How long does it take to flash and what are the conditions required?
SiNH Top Coat H5 flashes in approximately 20 minutes at 23°C and 50% relative humidity. Cooler or more humid conditions will extend that window, while heat and low humidity will shorten it. Always work in the shade and avoid applying in direct sunlight or on a warm panel.
Do I need an IR curing lamp?
No. One of the practical advantages of this coating is that it reaches a full cure at room temperature without an IR lamp. That makes it well suited to mobile detailers and workshops without a heated curing bay - though using controlled conditions will always produce the most consistent result.
What is the rated durability of this coating?
Innovacar rates SiNH Top Coat H5 at 4-5 years. This has been verified by certified external laboratories monitoring gloss retention using ISO 20566:2013 and surface hydrophobicity under both automatic and manual washing conditions - not just a marketing claim based on controlled lab environments.
Does the surface need to be corrected before application?
Yes. Like all ceramic coatings, SiNH Top Coat H5 locks in whatever the paint looks like at time of application. Full decon (iron fallout, tar, clay bar) and paint correction to remove swirl marks and scratches should be completed before you coat. The ceramic then seals and protects that corrected surface.
Can this coating be layered or topped with another product?
Within the Innovacar Si-N-H system, layering is possible once the base layer has fully cured. Adding a second coat of SiNH Top Coat H5 or a compatible Innovacar topper increases depth and hydrophobicity. Avoid applying waxes or sealants that contain silicones or fillers before the ceramic has cured, as these will block proper bonding.
What application method and tools are recommended?
Apply with a ceramic applicator block wrapped in a suede or microfibre cloth. Work panel by panel in cross-hatch passes, allow to flash for roughly 20 minutes (adjust for your ambient conditions), then level off the high spots with a clean, short-pile microfibre. Avoid thick or pooled application - thin, even coats bond and cure more uniformly.
What finish does SiNH Top Coat H5 leave?
The coating enhances gloss and colour depth significantly - paint looks wetter and the reflections are sharper. The hydrophobic surface also causes water to bead tightly and sheet cleanly, which means less water spotting and quicker drying after a wash. The anti-static property further reduces dust settling on the surface between washes.
