Axalta Coating Systems recently introduced Imron Elite 8460S Clearcoat – its
newest premium clearcoat for commercial vehicle customers in North America.
Imron Elite 8460S is a two-component,
low volatile organic compound (VOC),
high solids polyurethane clearcoat.
Designed to improve vertical sag
stability, Imron Elite 8460S clearcoat is
formulated to deliver a high-quality appearance while reducing cycle time due
to its fast cure rate. Imron Elite 8460S
clearcoat can be used over all approved
commercial finish base coats. Suggested
applications for the coating include fire
and emergency vehicles, heavy duty
trucks, and other commercial vehicles.
It is also ideal for customers with air-dry or force-dry capability that desire
a premium appearance without sacrificing robustness.
“Axalta’s Imron Elite 8460S will
build on our leadership position in the
commercial vehicle market because the
coating’s technology offers reduced cycle
time resulting in increased productivity,” said Joseph Wood, vice president of
Commercial Transportation Coatings at
Axalta. “This clearcoat has been developed with our customers in mind. We are
confident they will value the improved
appearance and productivity of Imron
Elite 8460S combined with the superior
durability and performance in which they
already trust.”
PPG Introduces
SPECTRACRON
ADVANTEDGE HPP primer
PPG has introduced SPECTRACRON
ADVANTEDGE HPP primer, a patented
polyurethane primer for use in heavy-duty equipment, general finishing and
transportation applications. The new
primer provides extended overall corrosion protection, better performance on
sharp laser-cut edges, and superior chip
resistance compared to traditional two-component epoxy primers.
Because it incorporates proprietary
resin and anticorrosion pigments and
is formulated with no heavy metals,
Spectracron AdvantEdge HPP primer
offers customers a more sustainable solution for achieving superior corrosion
resistance and sharp-edge performance.
The new primer also offers compatibility with common hardeners, shorter
wet-on-wet application time and a wide
application window to help increase
process efficiency.
