DuPont Refinish Unveils
Cromax Pro Basecoat

DuPont Refinish now offers a new range of Cromax Pro Basecoat components specifically to answer issues associated with using waterborne paint systems when low moisture levels affect evaporation and drying times. Even though bodyshops can regulate the temperature in the workshop area, it is not always easy to control extremely dry, low humidity conditions.

The range includes two low humidity controllers (WB2043/WB2045), a reduc-er (TN800W) and a blender (WB2093). They all help refinishers to control drying times and paint performance by taking into account the ambient conditions.
