Architecture
EXOCOAT® Ceramic+ protects anodized aluminum against environmental attack and makes dull surfaces look vibrant again. It is also a perfect solution in protection against graffiti; spray paint simply does not stick and can be removed easily.
Glass, Stainless and Chrome are protected by EXOCOAT® Clearview. The Sol-Gel based solution penetrates in the surface and creates a very durable water repelling invisible layer.
The self-cleaning coating EXOCOAT®151A helps architectural surfaces to stay cleaner for longer by either breaking down dirt or preventing it from adhering in the first place. Rain or rinsing water can easily wash away contaminants thanks to smart coatings, reducing visible staining and preserving the building’s appearance. These coatings cut down maintenance frequency, lowering cleaning costs for large façades and difficult-to-access structures.
They also support long-term durability by minimizing pollutant accumulation that can degrade materials over time. Overall, they enable cleaner, more resilient, and more sustainable architectural surfaces with minimal upkeep

Key Application Areas
Smart and functional coatings add advanced capabilities to surfaces, such as self-cleaning, corrosion resistance, or energy efficiency, helping products perform better and last longer.
They also support sustainability by reducing maintenance needs and environmental impact, making them a smart choice for modern industries and consumers.





Protecting anodized aluminum profiles
Architectural and Industrial Applications Because It Combines High-Quality Metallic Appearance with Strong Durability, Corrosion Resistance and Color Stability.
The anodic layer is not a paint layer on top of the aluminum; it is an oxide layer grown from the aluminum surface itself. This is one of the reasons why anodizing is valued in façade construction, design, transport and demanding industrial environments.
In practice, however, some environments place additional stress on the surface. Coastal areas with salt deposition, industrial locations with airborne pollutants, aggressive cleaning procedures, concrete run-off and long exposure to moisture can all influence the visual appearance and long-term cleanliness of anodized aluminum. In these situations, additional protective treatment can be valuable, especially when the aesthetic appearance of the surface is critical.
In collaboration with Alucol, a Dutch specialist in aluminum anodization, AXCENTIVE has developed EXOCOAT® Ceramic+ as an additional protective treatment for anodized aluminum and other substrates. The objective is not to replace anodizing, but to enhance the performance of the anodized surface in demanding environments and to make the surface easier to maintain.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel is extensively used for applications like outdoor kitchens and public bathrooms. But even stainless steel loses its luster after some time. EXOCOAT® Clearview is an excellent solution to maintain the luxury appeal. It chemically binds to the surface and creates an invisible micron thick inorganic ceramic layer.
Glass & Smooth Surfaces
Cleaning facades and windows from high buildings is sometimes difficult and expensive. EXOCOAT® 151A is engineered for glass and other smooth, non‑porous surfaces where clarity and aesthetics matter. It forms a transparent, ultra‑thin protective layer that improves resistance to water spots, limescale buildup, dust, and everyday soiling without changing the look or feel of the surface. The smooth, low‑adhesion finish helps break down dirt with the support of UV from the sun. Suitable applications include architectural glass, stainless steel and smooth tiles in both residential and commercial environments.
EXOCOAT® 151A will keep your façade clean and bring down your cleaning costs.
Anti-graffiti on non-porous surfaces
EXOCOAT® Ceramic+ creates a hard, invisible ceramic shield with ultra-low surface energy, allowing graffiti to be wiped away effortlessly without damaging the substrate.
Unlike conventional polyurethane coatings, it actively repels paint, markers, grime, and street dirt thanks to its hydrophobic and oleophobic chemistry.
Certified to top international anti-graffiti standards (NF31-112 and ASTM D6578), it achieves the highest anti-graffiti ratings, enabling full graffiti removal with only water or a dry cloth.
Its UV-resistant, chemical-resistant, and abrasion-resistant ceramic film restores and preserves dull surfaces while ensuring long-term durability in demanding urban environments.
EXOCOAT® Ceramic+ offers a cost-effective, long-lasting alternative to frequent repainting and surface restoration.
Restoration of faded or damaged glass
Over time glass windows get dull or are sometimes chemically attacked by, for instance, concrete residue. This can be resolved by polishing with appropriate pastes.
To protect against future wear and attack EXOCOAT® Clearview can be applied. EXOCOAT® CV delivers unmatched scratch resistance and keeps glass surfaces crystal clear even in harsh environments. Its advanced hydrophobic technology ensures water and dirt roll off effortlessly, reducing cleaning and maintenance. Application is quick and economical, with proven durability.
