You may have heard about that magic ‘self-healing paint’ (a.k.a Scratch Shield Paint). This praiseworthy product of the collaboration among Nissan, University of Tokyo and Advanced Softmaterials Inc. is licensed to NTT Docomo for use in its mobile phones for Japanese market.

NISSAN’S AMAZING “SCRATCH SHIELD” PAINT TO BE APPLIED TO MOBILE PHONES
- NTT DoCoMo to license “Scratch Shield” paint technology in Japan -

YOKOHAMA (November 10, 2009)–Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., today announced it will license its breakthrough “Scratch Shield” paint to NTT DoCoMo, Inc. for mobile phone application 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 Inc.

The Scratch Shield, a world first in paint technology, was commercially introduced in December, 2005. The Scratch Shield paint self-heals 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.

This unique self-heal quality of the paint is ideal for mobile phone application, which is susceptible to scratches over daily use. NTT DoCoMo, Inc. will license the Scratch Shield for its mobile phones to be introduced in Japan, which will be a value-add feature for customers.

Nissan has been licensing its unique technologies for various non-automotive applications since 2004. Other technologies that have been licensed include the around-view monitor and far infrared image sensor. Nissan will continue to research and develop breakthrough technologies that can benefit other industries, and promote these non-automotive applications globally.
