Borophene
Coating
Pioneering 2D borophene nanoflake technology — the next generation of surface protection beyond conventional ceramic coatings.
What isBC?
ADEXO Borophene Coating is the world's first commercially available automotive surface coating based on borophene — a two-dimensional nanomaterial consisting of single-atom-thick sheets of boron. Developed through years of materials science research in Munich, this coating surpasses conventional SiO₂ and TiO₂ ceramic coatings in hardness, hydrophobicity and gloss enhancement. Applied as a liquid nanoflake dispersion, it cures to form an ultra-thin, ultra-hard protective matrix that bonds permanently to paintwork, wheels, trim and other surfaces.

Advantages
Unparalleled Hardness
Achieves a 9H+ pencil hardness — significantly exceeding conventional SiO₂ coatings — making the surface resistant to fine scratches, swirls and marring.
Super-Hydrophobic Performance
Water contact angles exceeding 115° ensure water, mud and grime bead and roll off instantly, keeping surfaces cleaner between washes for longer.
Deep Gloss Enhancement
Borophene nanoflakes fill microscopic surface imperfections to create a flawlessly flat, mirror-like reflective surface with +15–25 GU gloss improvement.
Broad Chemical Resistance
Resistant across pH 2–14, providing robust protection against acid rain, bird droppings, tree sap, insect acids and harsh cleaning agents.
Extreme Temperature Stability
Maintains full integrity from –40 °C to +250 °C, making it suitable for engine bays, exhaust components, brake calipers and industrial environments.
Simple Single-Step Application
Wipe-on, cure-off application requires no specialist equipment or curing lamps — making professional application fast and cost-effective.
