APS-448
Advanced Polymer
APS-448 is a polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane copolymer designed to deliver hydrophilic and cleaning properties in automotive and marine surface care applications. It functions effectively in conjunction with nonionic and anionic detergents to produce durable wash-and-wax and ceramic coating systems. APS-448 imparts a high-lustre shine, enhances dust repellency, and maintains surface performance through multiple rain events. Its robust compatibility and weather-resistance make it especially suited for vehicle coatings and marine exterior protection.
