Spies Hecker has introduced a new Plastic Putty that offers an efficient solution to repairing plastic part surfaces even without a primer.

The company says that its new  Raderal Plastic Putty 2015 Black offers high elasticity, great adhesive power and secure build-up and is particularly useful for smoothing out imperfections in plastic parts because it can be applied directly to the car part without a primer.

Kevin Welling, Training Academy Manager for Axalta Coating Systems says, “Thanks to its high elasticity, Raderal Plastic Putty 2015 Black can adapt to the movements of the plastic part.” He adds, “At ambient temperature, the putty dries in about 30 minutes. Forced drying cuts the drying time to 15 minutes and the low-pore putty is also easy to sand.”

Kevin also points out that to comply with certain OEM requirements, the already strong adhesion of the putty can be further increased by using a primer, such as the Priomat Elastic Primer 3304 Transparent, when preparing the substrate.

The Raderal Plastic Putty 2015 Black is supplied as a set in a 1.4kg tin, which includes the relevant hardener in a tube fitted into the lid.
