Malaysian Innovation in the Global Spotlight at Automechanika Dubai 2025
28 October 2025
From Kuala Lumpur to Dubai, the IGL Coatings is celebrating another incredible milestone. Our flagship coating, Arcane, has been shortlisted as a finalist for Sustainability Product of the Year at the upcoming Automechanika Dubai Awards 2025, taking place on 10 December 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
This recognition means a lot to us. The category highlights products that make a genuine difference in environmental impact, innovation, and performance, all of which are at the heart of what IGL Coatings stands for.
A Recognition Rooted in Green Innovation
Automechanika Dubai is the largest international automotive aftermarket exhibition in the Middle East region, welcoming thousands of exhibitors and industry leaders each year. To be recognised here, among the world’s top brands, reinforces our mission to deliver products that combine performance, sustainability, and innovation without compromise.
What Makes Arcane Stand Out
Arcane isn’t just another ceramic coating. It’s the result of years of research and collaboration, powered by Graphene Infinite, a breakthrough additive co-developed with PETRONAS. The formulation redefines single-layer coatings, offering up to 4 years of protection, ultra-slick surface feel, and enhanced water repellency.
But more than that, Arcane was designed with responsibility in mind. The advanced graphene reinforcement reduces VOCs and improves the efficiency of the coating’s cross-linking process, helping detailers achieve better protection with less waste. Every drop works harder and cleaner.
Arcane first made headlines in 2023, earning the SEMA Global Media Award for innovation, shortly after its global debut. This nomination at Automechanika Dubai marks another proud step forward for sustainable chemistry in automotive care.
Why Arcane Graphene Coating is a Detailer’s New Favourite
Since its launch, Arcane has quickly earned its reputation as a detailer’s best friend, and for good reason.
- Easy Application, One-Layer Simplicity – Arcane lays down smoothly and evenly, even in humid or challenging environments.
- Outstanding Slickness & Gloss – Its graphene-reinforced matrix creates a buttery-smooth finish that clients can feel instantly.
- Strong Hydrophobics – With a contact angle exceeding 110, water just slides right off keeping cars cleaner for longer.
- Durability You Can Rely On – A 4-year coating with improved resistance to chemical etching, UV damage, and oxidation.
- Eco-Conscious Chemistry – Made with our low-VOC formulation to protect both the car and the environment.
It’s everything detailers love, the performance of a high-end coating, minus the frustration.
Reflecting on this nomination, Keong Chun Chieh, CEO of IGL Coatings, shared,
“Arcane represents our belief that sustainability and performance can coexist. We’ve always been driven to push the limits of green chemistry and create coatings that are able to perform exceptionally. This recognition at Automechanika Dubai is an honour, and a reminder that innovation rooted in responsibility truly makes an impact.”
