BORN IN THE USA
A new PPG / Dynabrade partnership is giving consumers across the region access to a wide range of iconic tools, complete with outstanding backup support.
The Dynabrade brand is so famous for its rock-solid reliability, lon- gevity and industry-leading performance, the name Dynabrade has actually become the default workshop term for sanding and grinding. People commonly refer to ‘Dynabrading the job’ whether they are us- ing a Dynabrade tool or not. Keen to expand the premium brands on offer to Australian and New Zealand consumers, the local PPG team has established a special partnership with the iconic American brand. Dynabrade’s range of precision engineered tools combine perfectly with modern processes to produce real productivity gains, says Kurt Way, PPG Category Manager, Associated Products.
“Dynabrade is an incredibly strong name with a very traditional USA-built philosophy and history of innovation. The company has built its reputation on a very simple mind-set – producing very well engineered tools that are made to do a job and do that job very, very well. That story of innovation goes right back to the beginning in

1969 when the Dynafile was released and it’s still the best-selling tool the company makes. It helped Dynabrade develop a reputation for problem solving where they listen to the issue’s customers are having and come up with effective solutions. Local customers will now be able to choose from a range of Dynabrade models aimed at boosting productivity and reducing overall cost.”
FULLY SUPPORTED
Via the partnership with PPG, Dynabrade comes with the full backup and support expected of a premium offering. Along with extensive stock of spare parts, there is a comprehensive network of repair centres strategically located to deal with both warranty and post warranty repairs. In addition, there will be training programs available, as well as access to best practice processes.
MADE TO LAST
Every Dynabrade air tool package proudly carries the words ‘Made in USA’ because each one is still manufactured at the company headquarters in Clarence, New York. Rather than simply design tools and have them made overseas, Dynabrade has maintained its quality and extraordinary attention to detail. It’s something you can appreciate as soon as you use a Dynabrade tool, says Kurt Way.
“Dynabrade products are not cheap but they are definitely not throwaway items like some cheaper brands that get swapped out every 12 months or even less. It’s a very strong brand with very strong mechanicals that are built to last. The design and quality of the air motors means they generate excellent torque which gets the job done quicker and easier. Calculate the overall costs and a Dynabrade tool is going to save you money in the long run. Operator comfort is also excellent thanks to lower vibration and noise level, lightweight and superb balance compared with con- ventional pneumatic tools.”

The new Spies Hecker Permasolid®HS Race Clear Coat 8700 is not only easy to work with, but also cures very quickly and delivers high-gloss results.
Spies Hecker launches Permasolid HS Race Clear Coat 8700, a clear coat that is particularly fast and reliable. The simple application starts with the mixing ratio: it is adjusted 2:1 with the Permasolid Race Hardener 3470 and with ten percent of Race Additive 9070. The clear coat is applied in two coats with a short flash-off time. Thanks to its low viscosity, it is particularly easy to work with, which provides excel- lent wetting of the surface resulting in very smooth flow and good holdout.
“Permasolid HS Race Clear Coat 8700 is a powerful all-rounder with impeccable staying power,” Jim Iliopoulos, Product and Technical Manager for ANZ. “It’s reliable and the right choice for every repair, from minor damage repair to full resprays. The brilliant results speak for themselves.”
FLEXIBLE DRYING
With the Permasolid HS Race Clear Coating 8700, Spies Hecker provides bodyshops with a reliable and flexible way to adapt the drying of the clear coat to individual needs. For bodyshops looking for speed and efficiency, the Race Clear Coat can be dried at 60oC object temperature in 15 minutes. It is also possible to dry at 40oC.
Permasolid HS Race Clear Coat 8700 can be processed with all Spies Hecker Hi- TEC Performance System and the Classic System products.
