Engineered for Australia

Legacy engineering, construction and validation information supporting the MOD5 wholesale proposition.

This is the engineering foundation behind every MOD5 protection film — from paint and glass to lights and tint.

MOD5 films are co-engineered with TopShield using OEM-grade materials, precision manufacturing, and validated testing — designed for Australian heat, UV exposure, and real-world driving conditions.

Co-Engineered with TopShield

A manufacturing partnership where each party brings distinct expertise.

MOD5 Defines

Film Architecture & Materials

Multi-layer construction using automotive-grade substrates and adhesive systems from established suppliers. Each layer serves a specific function in the protection system.

Lubrizol & Covestro TPU for impact resistance and heat-activated self-healing properties.

Ashland & Henkel optical-grade adhesives for consistent bonding and clean removal.

Cashew-based top coat technology enables heat-activated scratch recovery.
