Avery Dennison’s re-defined Paint Protection Film (PPF) series
Harsh sun; gravel-strewn back roads; salt-laden coastal air – vehicles across Australia endure a punishing mix of conditions, and every stone chip, stains, scratches, chemical stains and weathering tells the same story. This means a good paint protection is no longer an option but a necessity. This is where Avery Dennison’s Paint Protection Film (PPF) earns its reputation, vouched for by the most skilled installers in Australia and known for its exceptional installation performance, long-lasting durability and top-notch protection.
Added to this, Avery Dennison is a global materials science business, so its technology does not simply stand still, so the company’s new and re-defined PPF series has now been engineered to cater for the harshest of elements and to maintain a showroom-finish that sees vehicles looking fresh and flawless for miles.
Using only the best materials and investing heavily in research and development to stay market leading, every element of Avery Dennison’s new and improved PPF series, from the top coat and adhesive system to the film’s installability, has been refined to perform at its peak and to preserve paint vibrancy for years, maintaining that sought-after wet look year after year.

Self-Healing and Stain Resistant
Avery Dennison’s PPF series is a market leader in self-healing paint protection technology – a claim that rests on genuine engineering with 90+ years of expertise in materials science. Each film is built with enhanced polyurethane, a tough yet flexible, invisible layer that shields vehicle paintwork from scratches, chips, and everyday wear. The standout feature is its self-healing surface, where light scratches and unwanted marks simply disappear with heat, whether from a warm day in the sun or the warmth of the engine bay, preventing the need for polishing or specialist treatment.
The redefined PPF series also includes improved engineering and excellent hydrophobicity making cleaning faster and keeping vehicles looking pristine for longer. From insect strikes to chemical fallout, its superior stain resistance provides a robust barrier against the contaminants that cause discolouration, preserving the depth and clarity of the original paint.
Avery Dennison’s PPF films are also designed to provide seamless removal without damaging the existing paint or coating applied on vehicles.
Protection this advanced deserves genuine assurance, which is why Avery Dennison’s PPF is backed by a limited warranty of up to 12 years. For installers and vehicle owners, that is a decade of confidence against the elements, the road, and the everyday knocks of ownership. It is protection you can rely on and, just as valuably, protection you can forget about, knowing the film is quietly doing its job.
For anyone who takes pride in their vehicle, the PPF series represents a smart, long-term investment in appearance, resale value, and peace of mind.
