PPG launches UV-Cured Primer Surfacer to boost bodyshop profitability
15/04/14
The latest development from PPG uses advanced UV Primer technology enabling a rapid cure of the primer using UV light to deliver significant process efficiency benefits and reduce costs for bodyshops versus a conventional primer.
The new UV-Cured D8082 technology from PPG requires no flash off between coats and can be cured in as little as 4 minutes under a UV lamp; offering significant time and costs savings for bodyshops.
Using this new UV-Cured Primer Surfacer from PPG can dramatically reduce the cycle time of a vehicle repair with a 1 visit application, resulting in greater productivity and profitability. Further to this, the unique clear characteristic of the UV-Cured Primer Surfacer offers complete visibility of the repair below the primer meaning the repair area is kept to a minimum; saving material usage and time. D8082 is also very easy to sand minimising additional work and providing further time savings to the bodyshop.
UV-Cured D8082 offers a route to achieving an extremely fast and easy throughput of high quality small repairs, whilst also achieving substantial energy and material savings, ensuring greater bodyshop profitability.
