Paint protection film (PPF, also called clear bra, clear film or clear paint film) is a thermoplastic urethane often self-healing film applied to painted surfaces of a new or used car in order to protect the paint from stone chips, bug splatters, and minor abrasions. This film is also used on airplanes, RVs, cell phones, electronics, screens ...
Stone damage, or stone-chip, is the damage that gravel and small stones can make to a vehicle. Stone damage is most common on roads on which the allowed speed exceeds 70 km/h (43 mph; 19 m/s), since stones stuck in the tires come loose at that speed and fly away with such a speed that they can damage other vehicles.
The film thickness is selected for level of protection desired and the dimensions of the glass pane. Manufacturers recommend 100 micrometer film (2 ply) for glass up to 3 mm (1/8 in) and 175 micrometer film for glass over 6 mm (1/4 in). These films can be applied for security applications, where a delay of forced entry is desired.
