DuPont Refinish plans a March 2012
introduction of two new products designed to
improve the coverage of traditionally poor hiding
solvent-borne basecoat colors.
The company will launch DuPont™ ChromaPremier
62155F™ and 62165F™, a new binder package designed
to improve the coverage of poor hiding colors. The
package can be utilized with both ChromaPremier®
and ChromaBase® basecoats.
DuPont reformulated several hundred of the worst
hiding OEM colors with an option to use the new
binders. DuPont ColorNet® color retrieval software
will automatically flag poor hiding colors and
provide the option to select the new, improved
hiding formula, the company said.
For collision shops in regulated or soon-to-be
regulated areas, or for shops that want the
advantage that waterborne paints offer, the
company offers DuPont Cromax® Pro. For customers
who do not plan on changing to waterborne in the
near future, DuPont said it will continue to
invest in solvent products to support and improve
their business.
“These new binders reinforce our commitment to our
valued customers who choose to use National Rule
products,” said Harry Christman, DuPont Refinish
brand manager.
