Technology Once Reserved for Automakers
Our story begins with Mr. Ota, a Japanese materials visionary who spent decades developing advanced coatings for the automotive giants like Lexus, Mazda, and Toyota, where his high-performance glass coating protected the lights on some of the world’s most iconic cars.
But he saw a bigger opportunity. If this technology could withstand years of heat, weather, and road abuse, what else could it protect? Today, his patented formula lives on through Tauren Coats, created to bring the same level of durability and convenience into everyday life.

What is silazane?
Think of Silazane compound as a smart, invisible shield. Made from silicon and nitrogen, it starts off as a liquid but transforms once it meets air and moisture. As it cures, it locks itself onto the surface and forms a hard, glass-like protective layer that repels water, resists heat, chemicals, UV rays, and everyday wear.
The result? A thin yet tough coating that protects without being seen. Perfect for surface-protection applications where long-lasting performance is needed.
SILZANE SETS US APART from competitors.
Most businesses don’t use silazane compounds because it comes with higher barriers to entry.
1. Cost
High-quality silazane formulations are more expensive than conventional coatings, and reputable suppliers often sell in controlled quantities. For many businesses, cheaper ceramic or polymer coatings are simply “good enough.”
2. Handling and know-how
Silazane is moisture-reactive, which means storage, mixing, and application have to be done correctly. Exposure to air or humidity at the wrong time can ruin the product. This requires trained staff, controlled environments, and tighter processes something many coating businesses aren’t set up for.
3. Integration challenges
Silazane coatings don’t behave like traditional waxes or ceramics. Cure times, surface prep, layering, and compatibility with other products must be precisely managed. Without proper knowledge, results can be inconsistent or fail prematurely.
4. Education and risk
Silazane is still relatively niche. Many businesses stick to familiar systems because they’re easier to sell, easier to train, and carry less risk if something goes wrong.
In short: silazane is harder to do right. That combination of cost, expertise, and discipline is why fewer businesses use it. Which makes our Silazane edge, gold.
