CLEAR THINKING FROM GLASURIT
Glasurit is known for having the fastest refinishing processes on the market and now quick repairs are even more efficient with Glasurit’s 923-610 HS Clear fast drying VOC.
This new clearcoat needs no flash-off time and provides an excellent finish after only a short drying time in the oven at 60 oC panel temperature. Even better, Glasurit 923-610 HS clear fast drying VOC also boasts outstanding drying properties at 40oC and at room temperature.
Glasurit’s new clearcoat has excellent polishing characteristics and can be applied to both vertical and horizontal panels and used flexibly during a single application. A perfect paint result can be produced with 1.5- 2 spray coats, regardless of whether HVLP or RP sprayguns are used.
Glasurit 923-610 HS clear fast drying VOC is perfectly suited for quickly repairing cosmetic damage and individual panels, as well as for refinishing entire vehicle sides. All in all, the clearcoat offers bodyshops higher efficiency thanks to an array of application options, shorter process times and lower energy costs.
522 MC 600
Glasurit has also launched its new mixing clear, 522-MC 600. Designed to be the perfect partner for Glasurit 22 Line High-Solid VOC, this mixing clear offers outstanding application, spray painting, drying and polishing properties.
With its optimal levelling and excellent flow, the 522-MC 600 Mixing Clear ensures exceptional application results for matte and textured colours. Spraypainters can also rely on the proven colour documentation and accuracy.
Thanks to Glasurit 522-MC 600 when combined with Glasurit 923-610 HS clearcoat, the Glasurit 923-610, the Glasurit RATIO system concept now also applies for 22 Line VOC: one system, one hardener and thinner portfolio, and one uniform mixing ratio make your work easy and reliable. The new mixing clear maintains the proven high Glasurit quality with the reliability of the Glasurit RATIO system.
NEW GOLD STANDARD
An upgrade featuring a new multi-hole configuration, ensures that nothing is as good as Gold, says MIRKA.
MIRKA Gold is the company’s most popular paper backed abrasive and now it has come in for a major makeover to further boost performance. Using customer feedback, combined with intensive research, the MIRKA team has introduced a variety of improvements headlined by new computer designed multi-hole patterns. Gold 150 mm (6”) discs are now available with the new patterns which have 37 holes for coarser grits and 121 holes for finer grits.
Superior dust extraction has long been a focus of the MIRKA team and the new Gold multi-hole patterns were specifically created to take that aim to the next level. By increasing dust extraction capabilities, compared to traditional paper abrasives and other multi-hole patterns on the market, this directly translates into improved workshop productivity and longer lifespan. A reduced chance of clogging, the abrasive surface not only increases speed of cut and durability, it also makes it easier for the operator to see the surface which improves the quality of finish. Best of all, this new MIRKA Gold abrasive works perfectly in conjunction with the MIRKA power tools range.
AXALTA REDEFINES COLOUR MANAGEMENT
Axalta is redefining what’s possible for car repair bodyshops of all sizes by helping them increase their efficiency through digital technology. Axalta’s Digital Colour Management uses a cloud-based colour management system that enables bodyshops to handle the entire colour retrieval and colour mixing processes not only completely digitally, but also 100% wirelessly – something that is unique to Axalta, the company says.
Instead of matching colours by eye, with Axalta’s digital colour management refinishers simply take colour readings of a vehicle’s paintwork using Axalta’s digital spectrophotometers, which wirelessly send the readings to Axalta’s constantly-up- dated online global colour database. The best match can be selected on a smart- phone or a tablet and sent via WiFi to an IP scale for mixing the colour formula. Labels and other print-outs can be handled wirelessly as well. A PC can still be used in the mixing room, but it is not required anymore. And thanks to the wireless data exchange between connectable devices, everything can be accessed by everyone in the same bodyshop network. There are also other online functionalities like stock management, paint shop management and e-ordering, as well as the ability to connect with many other digital management systems used in the bodyshop.
