DiamondClear Hydro

DiamondClear Hydro is a 7.5 mil clear paint protection film designed to provide a balance of optical clarity, flexible handling, and reliable everyday protection. Its conformable construction supports installation across curved and complex panels, making it well suited to daily-driven vehicles exposed to low-to-moderate impact conditions.

Engineered with CT·X optical-grade TPU and a hydrophobic CRYSTALIX nano coating, DiamondClear Hydro enhances the depth and gloss of the original paint while promoting water beading and easier routine cleaning. It helps protect painted surfaces against stone chips, light scratches, environmental contaminants, and prolonged UV exposure.

Product Highlights
Combines dependable everyday protection with the flexibility and conformability required for curved and complex vehicle panels.
Enhances the gloss and visual depth of the original paint while maintaining a clear, refined appearance.
Its optical-grade construction minimizes visible film texture and orange peel, preserving the definition and character of the underlying finish.
The hydrophobic CRYSTALIX nano coating promotes water beading while allowing light scratches and swirl marks to recover with heat.
The hydrophobic surface is designed to help reduce the appearance of water spots, supporting a clean, consistent finish with regular washing and drying.
Manufactured using aliphatic optical-grade TPU for long-term clarity, flexibility, and exterior durability.
Helps protect painted surfaces against stone chips, light scratches, and environmental contaminants. Designed to withstand outdoor exposure while retaining clarity and gloss.
Pressure activated adhesive provides secure bonding to painted surfaces while allowing controlled repositioning during installation and clean removal when required.
Balanced flexibility and stretch help installers conform the film to curves, edges, and complex panels while managing tension and minimizing distortion.
Supported by the CONERGIES 10 year limited warranty, subject to its terms and applicable installation, storage, and maintenance requirements.

DiamondClear Hydro FAQs

What is the difference between DiamondClear Hydro and DiamondClear?

Both are 7.5 mil clear gloss paint protection films. DiamondClear Hydro features a hydrophobic topcoat that promotes water beading, while DiamondClear features a hydrophilic topcoat that encourages water to spread across the surface. The main distinction is how the surface interacts with water, rather than film thickness or gloss finish.

Does DiamondClear Hydro need an additional ceramic coating?

A separate ceramic coating is not required to give DiamondClear Hydro its hydrophobic finish. Water repellency is already built into the film’s topcoat. For customers considering an additional coating, contact Conergies to confirm compatibility before application.

Does DiamondClear Hydro’s 7.5 mil thickness include the release liner and protective capsheet?

No. The nominal 7.5 mil thickness includes the topcoat, TPU film and adhesive: the layers that remain on the vehicle. The removable protective capsheet and release liner are excluded from this measurement.

What types of scratches can DiamondClear Hydro self-heal?

DiamondClear Hydro’s heat-responsive topcoat allows light surface scratches and swirl marks to recover. Self-healing applies to superficial marks in the coating, not deep cuts, punctures or damage to the underlying paint. It helps maintain the film’s appearance but does not make it scratch-proof.

Does DiamondClear Hydro have an orange-peel texture?

DiamondClear Hydro is engineered for high optical clarity and minimal surface texture, keeping the film’s own orange-peel appearance to a minimum. Its clear, high-gloss finish is designed to enhance the appearance of the original paint without adding a pronounced textured look.
