Finnish Material Chemist Mr. Lauri Ylikorpi is an expert in thin film technology, whose clients include the R&D departments of the world’s leading chemical manufacturers. He has over 20 years of experience in the field and extensive expertise in technology development.
Previously, Lauri sold the technology he developed to the automotive coating industry, after which he was subject to a non-compete agreement for a set period. Now, with the non-compete period ended, he is releasing the technology developed over 15 years under the 42SHIELD brand.

For Lauri, automotive coatings and detailing are not just business — they are a true passion and a calling. Thanks to years of hands-on experience in detailing combined with deep knowledge of chemistry, he has developed the technology from the ground up with practical needs in mind, enabling the products’ performance to clearly outperform competing products.
