Zinsser Bondz Maximum Adhesion Primer
Low odor, low VOC, water-based formula
accepts all topcoats for a smooth, even
sandable finish that resists peeling, cracking
and blistering.
Rust-Oleum Corporation has launched
Zinsser Bondz Maximum Adhesion
Primer, specifically formulated to bond
any topcoat to difficult to paint surfaces.
The fast drying urethane modified
acrylic formula provides adhesion to
hard, dense interior and exterior surfaces
such as fiberglass, tile, glazed brick, aluminum, laminate and galvanized steel. It
creates a permanent bond with any topcoat including two-part epoxies and solvent-based paints. Bondz has exceptional
flow and leveling and superior sag resistance, according to the company, and
it exhibited eight times better resistance
to wet adhesion loss than XIM UMA
Bonder in ASTM D2486 and D6900 in
independent lab tests, so it’s ideal for use
in damp or humid exterior conditions,
where ordinary primers can soften and
lose adhesion. Bondz has a fast-drying
formula that dries to the touch in 30
minutes and can be lightly sanded and
topcoated in as little as two hours, saving time and money.
Spies Hecker presents
Permahyd Silver Star base coat
for fine metallic finishes
Spies Hecker presented a new innovative
solution for the painting of rims and add-on parts, new Spies Hecker Permahyd Silver Star base coat for fine metallic finishes.
New Spies Hecker Permahyd Silver Star
base coat contains extra-fine effect pigments
which is ideal for the painting of rims and
add-on parts such as mirror housings.
“Such vehicle parts are usually coated
in extremely fine shades of silver. With Silver Star base coat, Spies Hecker now has
an excellent material for paintwork repairs and original finishes,” said Frank
Barduna, technical manager at Spies
Hecker. “There’s a trend towards shades
of silver. New Silver Star is our response
to bodyshop demand for a bright and fine
shade of silver.
“The microscopic metal pigments
yield a smooth, aluminium-like gloss,”
Barduna said. “Refinishers achieve the
brightest effects if they spray a film of
clear coat straight onto the surfacer be-
fore base coat application and then
lightly sand the surface to prevent the ef-
fect from being marred by variations in
substrate texture.”
The VOC-compliant base coat can be
recoated with any Permasolid clear coat
applied in 1.5 coats. Fine, noble and
bright, new Permahyd Silver Star Base
Coat from Spies Hecker is the ideal re-
finish solution for vehicle parts with spe-
cial requirements.
