New Spies Hecker Permahyd Hi-TEC

Spies Hecker Permahyd Hi-TEC represents
the latest in waterborne technology for the
automotive refinish market.

Spies Hecker has introduced Spies
Hecker Permahyd Hi-TEC, a basecoat
formulation that represents advanced
waterborne technology. Featuring a
paint chemistry that allows water and
pigment to work together, Spies Hecker
Permahyd Hi-TEC gives refinish techni-
cians greater control under varying con-
ditions. With a high pigment ratio Spies
Hecker Permahyd Hi-TEC delivers
exceptional coverage in only 1.5 coats
without losing the ability to adjust color.
Based on internal application testing,
shops can expect to save up to 31 percent
in material consumption versus shops
using competitors’ systems. The unique
resin architecture of this new-generation
finish helps keep time in the booth to a
minimum because there is no need to
flash between coats and surfaces harden
to touch and tape in minutes. Based on
internal testing, shops can anticipate
their process time being up to 56 percent
faster versus shops using competitors’
systems. The special pigments in Spies
Hecker Permahyd Hi-TEC allow body
shops to create several thousand new
colors, variants, and special shades.
Additionally, to help refinish technicians
achieve the perfect color match, Spies
Hecker offers the most advanced visual
and digital color matching tools avail-
able, including the largest fan decks in
the industry. Organized in chromatic
order by manufacturer, these fan decks
are produced using Spies Hecker
Permahyd Hi-TEC.
