50 Series Aqua+
PPS Pro Clear 5050

The CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 is the foundation of the CARDIP-developed and patented Multi-Layer Process™ for liquid automotive foiling and the core of the CARDIP Peelable Paint System - PPS.

The innovative Easy-Peel-Polymer™, by applying the spraying method, forms a colorless and permanently elastic film coating, which can, if required, be easily removed without leaving any residues. The product is compatible with all common water-based and solvent-based automotive paints and can thus be overpainted as required in any desired color and effect.

The special feature of this state of the art peelable paint is its focus on efficiency and performance. Special wetting agents ensure easy wetting of all substrates (paint, plastic, metal, chrome, etc.), which means that the BaseCoat can be applied to almost any substrate. The low-VOC, high-solids formulation ensures extremely high coating layer-thicknesses with few spray passes and very easy removability even after years. The leveling agents integrated into the product ensure a smooth surface texture, as is known from modern automotive coatings.

The CARDIP® Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 is developed and produced in Germany.

Crystal clear.
Ultra-transparent.

The Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear BaseCoat 5050 enables impressively high layer thicknesses of up to 300 µm without affecting the original color of the vehicle. This outstanding property makes it the ideal solution for partial coatings where paint protection and transparency are paramount. Perfect for demanding applications that combine the highest quality and appearance.

Designed to the smallest detail

The development of the innovative easy-peel polymer of the CARDIP Aqua+ BaseCoat is based on our know-how from 10 years of peelable paint and over 3,000 coated vehicles in 12 countries.

50s Drop-In Tints

5070 Deep Black and 5060 Pure White make it possible to tint the transparent Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050. The BaseCoat can therefore be applied directly in the target color or as a base tone from black to grey to white, thus helping to save application time and paint material.

The pigment concentrates are optimally matched to the Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 and do not impair the function of the film due to the low addition of less than 5%.

Compatible with all paints

CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 can be overcoated with water-based and solvent-based automotive basecoats and thus makes it possible to create any conceivable color effect in the form of a film that can be removed without residue. In principle, any 1K-paint can be used. The following systems of the leading paint manufacturers are particularly suitable:

Hi-TEC 480
Standoblue
ENVIROBASE
REIHE 90
AQUABASE
SIKKENS

Fields of application

CARDIP has been developed for the temporary coating of surfaces for protective and decoration purposes to be applied to exterior vehicle bodies. The process is considered an innovation in the field of vehicle foiling and offers users and customers the possibility of seamless foiling with the option variety and quality of a paint finish by applying the spraying method.

CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 is a system component of the CARDIP Peelable Paint System and not a stand-alone product. For a proper functioning the use of additional products is necessary. These include:

Frequently asked questions FAQ - Peelable Paint BaseCoat

1. What does the CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 consist of?

The core of the CARDIP Peelable Paint System, Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050, consists of a mixture of special high-end polymers dispersed in water. The CARDIP Peelable Paint is therefore chemically considered a plastic dissolved in water, which forms a film with the final properties by adding various additives. Since CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 is water-based and low-VOC, it is also particularly environmentally friendly, harmless to the user and easy to handle.

2. Which spray gun / nozzle size should be used for CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050?

CARDIP CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 can be applied with a commercially available basecoat gun such as a SATA 5500B RP / HVLP. The optimum nozzle size is 1.3mm.

3. Can a design also be applied on top of CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050?

CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 is transparent and can be coloured using the drop-in tints 5070 Deep Black and 5060 Pure White. In addition, the BaseCoat can optionally be overpainted with standard water-based or solvent-based automotive paint. Since the surface of the Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 becomes solid after drying, a design can also be masked and painted on as with a classic paint job.

4. Can CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 also be painted with nitrogen air?

CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 can also be painted with nitrogen. In this case, care should be taken to ensure that the temperature (preheating) is not set too high. Ideally, this should be 20-25°C.

5. On which substrate can CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 be applied?

CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 can be applied to almost any solid and non-absorbent substrate. This includes high-quality plastics (ABS, PE, PP, etc.), glass, and all metals. Since CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 is water-based, it does not attack even unpainted surfaces. By the use of special wetting agents, CARDIP Aqua+ PPS Pro Clear 5050 can even be used to coat textured surfaces, such as e.g. textured plastic.
