Ceramic oxide is a chemical component used in coatings, while ceramic refers to a finished material or product made from non-metallic, inorganic materials.
Ceramic refers to a broad class of materials made from inorganic, non-metallic compounds, typically hardened by heat. This can include tiles, pottery, and industrial components. Ceramic oxide, on the other hand, is a specific type of compound that contains metal and oxygen. In automotive applications, ceramic oxide coatings are engineered for surface protection, offering advanced bonding and durability compared to traditional ceramic coatings, which may not utilize oxide chemistry. This difference allows ceramic oxide coatings to provide a higher degree of scratch resistance, longevity, and performance. Ceramic oxide is found in both our ProWash™ and UltimaWash™ packages.
