19 November 2024 – Cromax^®, a global refinish coating brand from Axalta, launches PS1420 UV High Productive Primer-Surfacer, a new 1K primer-surfacer designed to improve bodyshop productivity, profitability and sustainability, making it the ideal choice for spot repairs.

PS1420 UV High Productive Primer-Surfacer utilises next-generation 1K technology to offer refinishers an array of impressive benefits across a wide range of applications. Not only does this UV-A primer-surfacer boast an incredibly fast drying and curing process without the need for baking, but also it is easy-to-use and offers optimised corrosion resistance. PS1420 UV High Productive Primer-Surfacer also underscores Axalta’s commitment to the environment by eliminating CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic) chemicals and reducing waste drastically.

Jason Hopkins, United Kingdom and Ireland Country Manager Axalta/ U-POL, says, “This new product focusses squarely on highly-productive repairs making it the ideal choice for spot repairs. We’ve specifically developed it so that busy bodyshops can successfully and easily diversify into smaller cosmetic repairs. Minor repairs become more lucrative by increasing throughput and, because PS1420 UV High Productive Primer-Surfacer does not need to be baked like other conventional systems, there are energy saving benefits too.”

PS1420 UV High Productive Primer-Surfacer is currently available in 1L cans. Cromax recommends curing with the IRT UV SmartCure UV-LED lamp by Hedson, or any lamps with comparable specifications.
