New Pro-Spray® 3.5 VOC Solvent Basecoat System is an Economical Choice for VOC Compliance
Written by StaffPro-Spray® Automotive Finishes, a division of Alco Industries, has introduced an economical, quality alternative for meeting low basecoat/clearcoat VOC requirements – the new Pro-Spray® 3.5 VOC Solvent Basecoat System.
“This system is a viable option to waterborne basecoat in VOC-compliant markets, and is an affordable choice for walk-in and non-waterborne collision repair shops,” said Tom Gardner, director – business development. “It utilizes existing Pro-Spray products, so it doesn’t require a major investment.”
For example, the system uses Pro-Spray solvent toners and new low-VOC binders, activators and thinners. The compliant basecoats can be used over Pro-Spray 2.1 VOC sealers and 2.1 VOC primers, and topcoated with any Pro-Spray 2.1 VOC clearcoats, to meet the strictest air quality mandates.
These compliant basecoats also offer an improved formula featuring a new binder-to-color ratio for optimized coverage, sprayability and color quality. Painters can expect 25 to 50 percent improved coverage and truer color than what is offered by other compliant solventborne systems.
In addition, the system has more than 63,000 3.5 VOC basecoat color formulas, providing users with one of the most comprehensive color palettes in the industry.
