Automotive Coatings

Automotive industry components and vehicles operate in environments that subject surfaces to constant mechanical stress and environmental exposure. Abrasion, impact, moisture, chemicals, UV radiation, and corrosion can accelerate wear and compromise performance, as well as increase maintenance requirements over time. Protective coatings are used to manage these risks and improve long-term functionality.

In automotive applications, properly selected and applied coatings can:

• Reduce surface wear and abrasion in high-use areas such as cargo beds, liners, work surfaces, etc

• Protect against corrosion and moisture intrusion, particularly on metal components and structural surfaces

• Provide resistance to automotive fluids and chemicals, including fuels, oils, and cleaning agents

• Improve durability under impact and vibration, common in commercial, off-road and fleet vehicles

• Support longer service intervals and reduced maintenance

Marvel Coatings supplies polyurea-based coating systems used across automotive applications where consistent protection and durability are required.

Marvel Coatings systems include hybrid polyurea, UV stable aliphatic polyurea, primers and specialized application systems.

Hybrid Polyurea Coatings

Hybrid systems blend polyurea and polyurethane chemistries to balance performance, workability and cost-effectiveness. They deliver excellent adhesion and toughness, which is critical in automotive environments where downtime must be minimized.

• MarvelCoat Premium (M91): High polyurea content for balanced hardness, tensile strength and elongation, suitable for heavy-duty vehicle protection and versatile automotive applications.

• MarvelCoat M86: A more economical hybrid formulation with high adhesion and impact resistance, ideal for OEM and aftermarket parts where UV stability is not the primary requirement.

UV-Stable & Specialty Polyurea

• MarvelSpecialty 75 & Aliphatic 7502: These formulations provide enhanced UV stability and color retention for exterior automotive surfaces that must maintain appearance under prolonged sun exposure.

Application Systems & Enhancers

• EZ Cartridge Systems: Portable systems for controlled spray application and convenient deployment in mobile or in-shop environments.

• Adhesion Promoters & Primers: Products designed to improve bonding to metals, composites and other automotive substrates for optimal coating performance.

• Truck Bedliners & Cargo Areas: Spray-on polyurea liners provide impact, abrasion and corrosion resistance for truck beds, cargo haulers, utility bed surfaces and other similar surfaces/uses.

• Commercial & Fleet Vehicles: Protective coatings for fleet vehicles, service trucks and vans extend the life of body panels and cargo areas subject to daily wear and environmental stress.

• SUVs, Jeeps & Off-Road Protection: Exterior and interior coatings improve resistance against rocks, mud and other terrain-related wear while offering durable surface protection.

• Trailers & RV Components: Protective coatings are used on trailers and recreational vehicles to reduce surface wear and limit exposure to weather and moisture over extended periods of use.

• Boats & Specialty Vehicles: While primarily automotive in focus, Marvel's systems also apply effectively to related transportation surfaces like marine trailers and specialty vehicle components.
