Nissan Motor announced that it will license its “Scratch Shield” paint to NTT DoCoMo for mobile phone in Japan. The self-healing paint, currently applied to certain Nissan and Infiniti vehicles worldwide, was developed in collaboration with University of Tokyo and Advanced Softmaterials.
The Scratch Shield was commercially introduced in December, 2005.It is able to self-heal fine scratches and is capable of restoring the vehicles’s paint surfaces overnight or up to a week’s time in more severe cases. The Scratch Shield paint is also more scratch-resistant than conventional paint, therefore, contributing to a more durable and long-lasting paint coat.
