CROMAX LAUNCHES AX9700 ULTRA PERFORMANCE
PLASTIC ADDITIVE
Cromax has introduced a new Ultra Performance Plastic Additive - AZ9700. It is designed to improve the effectiveness of the wet-on-wet Ultra Performance Energy Surfacers PS1081, PS1084 and PS1087 and the Ultra Performance Non-Sanding Surfacers NS2081, NS2084 and NS2087. AZ9700 Ultra Performance Plastic Additive offers both the flexibility and excellent adhesion properties required when painting the most common exterior
plastic vehicle parts.
Thanks to this technologically innovative direct-
to-plastic additive, Ultra Performance Energy Surfacers PS1081, PS1084 and PS1087 and the Ultra Performance Non-Sanding Surfacers NS2081, NS2084 and NS2087 now require fewer process steps and products for the repair of plastic parts.
Jim Iliopoulos, product and technical manager, Axalta Australia and New Zealand said,
This addition to the Ultra Performance Energy System from Cromax now allows bodyshops to boost productivity even further, by optimising the workflow of plastic repairs and increasing throughput.
AZ9700 Ultra Performance Plastic Additive is part of theValueShade concept which delivers the optimal undercoat for every topcoat colour, for faster coverage and reduced basecoat consumption, enabling bodyshops to
speed up processes and increase profitability.
FINIXA SHARP FOAM PADS
Hand sanding is an integral process in any repair to get into those tighter areas and surfaces that aren’t flat. The Sharp Foam Pads (SFP) by Finixa enable you to complete these intricate sections with greater speed, comfort, and precision thanks to using foam as the abrasive carrier.
SFP are a soft open-cell polyether foam coated structure with 2 sides of abrasive grit which are highly flexible, allowing the abrasive to adapt to any shape while maintaining an extreme lifespan and flexibility. The combination of a flexible binder and a foam carrier material (direct coating system) im- proves the clogging characteristics of the sharp foam pad, resulting in extreme long-life spans. These foam pads are low clogging and thanks to the solvent-free adhesive, can be used both wet or dry.
SOME APPLICATIONS WHERE FINIXA SHARP FOAM PADS ARE HANDY ARE:
• Sanding of hard-to-reach areas/shapes/contours
• Wet or dry sanding of paintwork for spot repair
• Sanding of plastic parts, bumpers, spoilers, trim,
door handles, mirror caps, etc.
• Matting of contours and edges, preparation for
clear coat or fade out
No risks of sanding through thanks to the “pressure equalising” foam that can be crumpled and stretched without creasing ensuring a high quality and even finish without leaving irregular finger marks unlike traditional apers and scuff rolls. The Sharp Foam Pad offers the user a comfortable sanding method that is perfect for every finish from primer prep (P320), primer sanding (P500), base coat prep (P800) and clear coat prep (P1000).
