AXALTA PRODUCTS DELIVER ENERGY
WITH CONTINUED PRESSURE ON PROFIT
margins, bodyshop owners are constantly looking at ways to save money. Energy is a big cost, and with the price of gas and electricity increasing significantly over the last 10 years, saving energy is impor- tant. There are multiple ways to reduce energy consumption in a bodyshop, but how do you get started?
Whilst significant savings can be made by checking your spray booths, air com- pressors and lighting, opting for products that allow repairs to be carried out with speed and efficiency can also make a big impact. Axalta’s range of fast-cure, low- energy systems, have been specifically designed to drive these energy savings.
This latest technology is found only in select product systems from Standox, Spies Hecker and Cromax. Although each brand
has its own unique product line-up, it’s de- veloped using the same next generation, in- novative Axalta chemistry that can deliver on any requirement - increased through- put, decreased energy usage or reduced ap- plication times by up to 50%. When focus- ing only on energy consumption, these systems can cut energy use to zero during air-drying without any compromise on re- pair quality or final appearance.
When Axalta’s fast-cure, low-energy products are used as a complete system – from priming through to clearcoat - they have many benefits which can help a body- shop achieve not only energy efficiency goals, but also aid in making your body- shop more efficient overall. These include:
HIGHER VEHICLE THROUGHPUT:
Faster drying times reduce booth times
