NEXA AUTOCOLOR has added an innovative new product to its range designed to give workshops a productivity boost. The new P852-1670 2K® Plastic Additive helps bodyshops to reduce process time and removes the need for separate adhesion promoters for plastics. The company says this can deliver a 40% time saving on the average repair.

The new Plastic Additive for Primers has been designed to be used with P565-5601/5605/5607 Self Levelling Primer. It replaces the thinner in the primer mix and enables it to be used directly over plastic, increasing throughput whilst saving on material usage.

The use of Plastic Additive optimises the process by reducing the time to prepare new panels, and provides a ‘holding mode’ with a re-coat window of several days. Further to this NEXA AUTOCOLOR say using P852-1670 in Self Levelling Primer eliminates the need to use a separate Adhesion Promoter for plastics, saving significant process in plastic repair, through application, flash off and equipment cleaning savings. These savings contribute to increasing bodyshop productivity and profitability.

NEXA AUTOCOLOR says that as with every product in its range the new Plastic Additive for Primer has been developed with ease of use as a focus to its design, which helps to achieve an outstanding finish result.
