Mercedes-Benz AG

Mercedes-Benz also makes a major contribution to exemplary long-term quality and value retention with an innovative, more scratch-resistant clear paint coat based on nano-technology. This innovative paint system, which had its world debut with Mercedes-Benz, is standard equipment for the new M-Class; it is used for both metallic and non-metallic paint finishes. Thanks to remarkable advances in the science of nano-technology it has been possible to integrate ceramic particles measuring less than one millionth of a millimetre into the molecular structure of the paint binder. These nano-particles achieve a three-fold increase in the scratch-resistance of the paint finish, ensuring a visibly improved and lasting sheen. ( www.mercedes-benz.com )
