PREPARATION OF NEW PANELS

SELF LEVELLING PRIMER

Self Levelling Primer is the only primer to remove the need for sanding, both in preparation before undercoating and sanding after undercoating. Its innovative technology delivers outstanding flow, which results in excellent appearance and hold out of the topcoat when the job is complete. 

It provides a quality finish equal to a sandable primer whilst also providing the time saving benefits of a wet-on-wet primer.

BATCH PRIMING PROCESS

SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS ARE NO LONGER SIMPLY A CASE OF REDUCING BAKE SCHEDULES AND TEMPERATURES, YOU ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW TO REDUCE SPRAYING TIMES.

The Self Levelling Primer technology, which has been a key element for years in the PPG portfolio, offers the best way to cut out the expensive spraybooth “spray & flash-off mode” time. The Self Levelling Primer can be applied and air dried with the ability to topcoat the panel up to 5 days later without the need for any extra flatting or preparation. This makes it ideal to use as a batch primer.

So how does that work?
