What is Traffic Film?

Traffic film is a film that builds up on the vehicle over time & can consist of any number of the following:

  • Contaminants from other vehicles;
    • Unburnt fuel, Fuel Additives, Vanadium, Iron, Sulphur, Soot & Coke, Oil & Brake Dust
  • Contaminants from the road itself;
    • Tar, Grease, Bitumen & Cement Dust

Why is Traffic Film Hard to Remove?

Many of the contaminants in traffic film are not water soluble – this means that no matter how much rain or general washing the vehicle is subject too, only the water soluble elements will be removed. Resistance to water is increased when the contaminants cure to the vehicle paintwork though UV rays from the sun, heating up the paintwork, creating a ‘baked on’ effect. Finally, due to the nature of the contaminants being positively charged particles and the vehicle bodywork being negatively charged, a magnetic bond is created between both surfaces creating a ‘shield’ impenetrable from water and any other standard cleaning solutions.

How Do Traffic Film Removers Work?

Traffic Film Remover (TFR) uses a type of chemical known as a sequestrate. This chemical actively removes any metallic particles – creating a small number of microscopic holes to allow further compounds in the TFR to penetrate the traffic film.

The additional compounds hold an extremely powerful positive charge, which attracts them to the surface of the vehicle negating the magnetic hold that the TFR and bodywork hold. This allows the remaining film to be removed using a pressure washer.

What does a TFR contain?

  • Water softeners – these prevent water hardness from interfering with the traffic film removal process. Hard water often contains metallic elements such as calcium and magnesium
  • Emulsifiers – great for removing grease and other oily residues
  • Alkaline components – these can include caustic materials, silicates and amines, which break down any other stubborn soiling
  • Corrosion inhibitors – these protect both the vehicle and pressure washer from oxidization effects
