U-POL PLASTX 5 is a high-performance specialty topcoat designed specifically for the refinishing and restoration of automotive plastics. Unlike standard paints that can crack or peel on flexible surfaces, PLASTX 5 features a unique, flexible resin system that bonds deeply into plastic substrates. It is engineered to replicate the original OEM satin finish on bumpers, trim, and mirror housings.
Key Performance Features:
- Direct-to-Plastic Adhesion: Formulated to bond aggressively to most automotive plastics (ABS, PP, PP/EPDM, PA) without the absolute necessity of a separate primer in many cases.
- OEM Texture Retention: Designed to be thin enough to follow the existing grain of textured plastic trim, allowing you to restore the color without "burying" the factory texture.
- Flexible Resin Technology: The paint film is highly elastic, meaning it can withstand the expansion, contraction, and minor impacts that bumpers face without cracking or flaking.
- Fast Drying: Optimized for SMART repairs, it flashes off quickly, allowing for rapid reassembly of the vehicle.
- Weather & UV Resistant: Highly durable against sun-fading (chalking) and industrial cleaners, ensuring the "Medium Grey" remains crisp and consistent.
