The Automotive
refinish industry has seen significant changes
in paint technologies over the years. During it's
early years in Australia, Spies Hecker product
sales mainly consisted of synthetic resin paint,
now referred to as 1-pack technology (or 1K).
Since then we have seen a turnaround, with 2-pack
(2K) technologies based on acrylic resign now
dominant.
|
| |
| The
2K technologies include |
| |
Medium
Solid Systems
(<70%), solvent-based systems, providing high
quality results with a high level of application
reliability.
High
Solids Systems (55-75%), solvent-based systems,
with high solid content ensuring very high coverage,
using much less material
Water-borne
System - offering quality, cost-effectiveness
and eco-friendliness as many of the organic solvents
have been substituted with water. |

Medium solid technology is a
convincingly cost-effective technology, providing
reliably high quality results. Permacron Series

Solid: Your cost effective technology |
| |
|
High solid paints have been developed
to reduce solvent emissions by replacing solvents
with solids. A high solid content in the material
ensures very high coverage, which results in less
time and materials.
|
| |
| The
practical advantages of one-stage High Solid Top
coat series 270: |
|
High
coverage and opacity ensures impressive material
saving of up to 30% |
|
Fewer coats
require much less refinishing time |
|
High colour
accuracy, impressive brilliance and an excellent
paint flow |
|
The high solids
content also reduces solvent emissions |

| Water:
Your future-oriented technology |
| |
|
Currently over 210,000 tonnes
of solvents each year are released in the car
sector alone. What can be done to reduce solvent
emissions? The paint industry has been working
on a solution to this problem for many years,
and the progress already made means that many
car manufacturers have used water soluble product
systems for some time.
Spies Hecker has felt
a sense of responsibility and created a waterborne
product system that not only meets the requirements
of nature, but also those of Refinishers.
|
| |
| But
what's the difference between a conventional paint
and a water-soluble one? |
|
Ready-to-use
conventional paint consists of 3 main ingredients: |
|
Pigments which
gives the paint its colour |
|
Binding agents
which determine the properties of the paint |
|
Solvent which
keeps the paint liquid so that it can be sprayed.
Conventional base-coat has a solvent content
of around 85%. |
|
| |
|
In comparison, waterborne paint
consists mostly of water instead of solvent. The
solvent content of a ready-to-spray waterborne
paint can be reduced by approx 90%.
It goes without saying that the waterborne paint
still has to satisfy all the demands made on conventional
base coat, these being easy applications, simple
spraying and, colour accuracy.
|
| |
| The
Spies Hecker waterborne system referred to as PermaHyd
Series 280/285 is the eco-friendly solution! It
can also offer you: |
|
·Efficient
Application - many colours require just 1.5coats |
|
·Excellent
Opacity means you save up to 30% material |
|
·Greater
reduction of solvent emissions and greater
environmental protection |
