Color PPF
Black Matte
Black Matte is the stealth finish with a protection film's build underneath it. Flat, non-reflective, and self-healing — which matters more on matte than on gloss, because matte cannot be polished if it marks.

Why this film
What Black Matte is for
The blacked-out look, done as protection rather than as a wrap.
Matte that can heal
A marked matte panel normally stays marked. A self-healing matte film does not.
Even, flat, no hot spots
Consistent sheen across large panels — the test any matte finish either passes or fails at a glance.
Specification
Black Matte by the numbers
The specification this film is made to — thickness and finish — and its warranty. Performance values publish here, with the ASTM method beside each, as the US laboratory report for this film comes in.
| Finish | Matte black |
|---|---|
| Warranty | 10 years |
Thickness and finish are the specification each film is made to. Performance values — transmittance, tensile strength, elongation, adhesion, hardness, weathering — are being measured on the film sold in the United States at a US laboratory, to the ASTM methods listed on the test-methods page. A value is published for a film only once that film's report is in hand, with the method beside it. Until then the row is left out rather than filled in.
How Black Matte differs
The film closest to Black Matte in the range is Specter. Black Matte is Matte black; Specter is Tinted gloss — Grey (60% VLT) or Black (35% VLT). The blacked-out look, done as protection rather than as a wrap.
Every HAUT film carries a 10-year limited warranty against cracking, delamination, blistering and premature yellowing when it is installed by a certified shop. Registering it online is free and turns a claim years later into a record lookup — the full terms say what is covered and what is not.

An em-dash means that film carries no specified value for the column, not that it performs badly. Thickness and finish are the specification each film is made to. Performance values — transmittance, tensile strength, elongation, adhesion, hardness, weathering — are being measured on the film sold in the United States at a US laboratory, to the ASTM methods listed on the test-methods page. A value is published for a film only once that film's report is in hand, with the method beside it. Until then the row is left out rather than filled in.
