Aqua Seal: manufacturing technology

1. Preparing details. Regardless of which product you decide to decorate, it is first primed and covered with a thin layer of enamel of a certain color. We wrote about this in more detail in the DIY Watercolor Printing: Surface Preparation section.
2. Film preparation. The film you choose is placed in water of a certain temperature and hardness.
3. Activation. After that, a special activator is applied to the decorative coating using an airbrush, softening the film to a liquid state. As a result, a "floating" pattern appears on the surface of the water for a fraction of a second.
4. Transferring a pattern. Now comes the most crucial moment - the product fixed above the container must be immersed in water at the right angle and at a certain speed. This will allow you to transfer the image from the water to the surface of the machine part, to the phone, etc.
5. Washing, drying and fixing. Everything, after that, the product must be thoroughly washed, dried and to give it strength, durability and decorative properties - varnished, dried again in a special chamber and polished.

The process of transferring a pattern to a product is described in detail in the section Film for hydrographic printing: transferring to a detail. (see top of page).

Advantages of aquaprint technology

• Durability.

The hydrographic film applied to the elements of the car is able to withstand any external influences. She is not afraid of high humidity and dry air, she is not afraid of either low winter (up to -80°С) or high summer (+80°С) temperatures. It will not fade in the sun, will not fade with intensive use of the part (for example, on the steering wheel). It can be washed with aggressive alkaline products, solvents and other chemicals.

• Incredible decoration possibilities.

The final appearance of the item to be decorated is determined by the substrate - a layer of enamel that is applied under the hydrographic film. And by changing the base, you can get more than 1000 different decor variations with the help of one type of coating. And if you apply not a standard glossy varnish, but a matte or tactile protective coating, you can also get different textures. For more information about how the base enamel can affect the final look of the product, you can read in the section Hydrographic film: learning to choose.
