ToughGuard NHP Extreme
ToughGuard NHP EXTREME (Nano Hybrid Polyurethene)
ToughGuard NHP Extreme is a proprietary Nano-structured (bottom-up engineering), transparent, polyurethane hybrid, industrial grade, humidity curing, easy to apply, high gloss to flat military matt top / protective coating system.
ToughGuard NHP Extreme operates as a multi-functional coating which has remarkable protective properties for the most extreme operating conditions, developed for the enhancement, restoration and extended service life (10+ years longer than any conventional linear structured coating) of high value commercial, industrial, transportation, energy, and military assets.
ToughGuard NHP Extreme’s 3D molecular structured polymers results in a coating system that delivers extremely high cross-link density using DMTA (Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis).
