Clear Paint Protection Film
Master Plus
Master Plus is Master with more of the layer that does the work. It runs 8.3 mil — above the 8 mil where most premium films stop — and the extra 15 microns are all in the energy-absorbing polyurethane, not in the topcoat where they would only add haze. The mechanical numbers sit within a few percent of Master; the thickness does not.

Why this film
What Master Plus is for
For cars that get driven hard, parked outside, and take the impacts a thinner film would pass straight through to the paint.
8.3 mil, measured
Thicker than the 8 mil that has been the premium standard for a decade. The extra 15 microns sit in the energy-absorbing layer, where they do work — not in the topcoat, where they would only add haze.
The thickest film we make
30.6 MPa tensile strength and 328% elongation at break to ASTM D882. Both are within a few percent of Master — same platform, same polymer. The difference you are buying is 15 microns more impact layer, and that is a real, measurable 8%.
Self-healing topcoat
The topcoat is an elastomeric, lightly crosslinked surface. Warm it and the polymer chains regain enough mobility for the network's own elasticity to pull a light swirl back out — the deformation was stored, not removed. Wash marks close instead of collecting into a season of haze.
Still 92.4% clear
Extra thickness normally costs clarity. Master Plus measures 92.4% luminous transmittance to ASTM D1003 — statistically the same as Master rather than worse, which is the result you want from an extra 15 microns.
10-year limited warranty
The same coverage as every clear HAUT film: cracking, delamination and blistering.
Specification
Master Plus by the numbers
Production-lot values from the HAUT technical data sheet for this film, each with the ASTM method it was measured against.

Values are from the technical data sheet for each film. Testing is carried out at the production line to the standards listed — national methods that are adoptions of the ISO standards named on the test-methods page. Where an ASTM method is equivalent it is given there for reference; no value on this site has been re-run to ASTM, and we do not print an ASTM code as though it had been. Where a film has no measured value for a property, the row is left out rather than filled in.
How Master Plus differs
The film closest to Master Plus in the range is Master. Master Plus runs 8.3 mil against Master at 7.7 mil — 15 µm more, and all of it in the impact layer. For cars that get driven hard, parked outside, and take the impacts a thinner film would pass straight through to the paint.
Every HAUT film carries a 10-year limited warranty against cracking, delamination and blistering when installed by a certified shop and registered online.
Durability
What Master Plus still measures after the lab has finished with it
Every production batch goes to an independent accredited laboratory. It is measured new, then measured again after 1,000 hours of continuous UV and after fourteen days in direct contact with oil, gasoline and high-alkaline shampoo.

- Who runs it
- Independent accredited laboratory, on every production batch
- The UV exposure
- 1,000 hours of continuous UV — the sheet equates this to a car's ownership lifetime
- The chemical exposures
- 14 days of direct contact with oil, gasoline or high-alkaline shampoo — the sheet equates this to 5–7 years of average ownership

An em-dash means we have not measured that property on that film yet, not that it performs badly. Values shown as “≥” are guaranteed minimums from a released data sheet; values shown as “up to” are the highest recorded across tested lots. Those are different kinds of number and comparing them directly will mislead you. Values are from the technical data sheet for each film. Testing is carried out at the production line to the standards listed — national methods that are adoptions of the ISO standards named on the test-methods page. Where an ASTM method is equivalent it is given there for reference; no value on this site has been re-run to ASTM, and we do not print an ASTM code as though it had been. Where a film has no measured value for a property, the row is left out rather than filled in.
