Spies Hecker Reactive Thinner 4076: description, benefits and characteristics :
Spies Hecker Reactive Thinner 4076 is an advanced technical component specially developed for use in 2K Clearcoat and Primer systems. Unlike conventional thinners, 4076 is not simply a thinning agent: it plays an active role in the polymerisation process, hence its name "reactive Thinner". It is formulated to optimise both the viscosity of application and the mechanical properties of the final film, guaranteeing an aesthetic finish that lasts under the conditions found in car body workshops.
Product 4076 is a solvent-based reactive Thinner designed for use in 2K (two-component) paint systems from the Permasolid range from Spies Hecker. It is mainly used in 2K Clearcoats (High Solid) or Primers, in order to:
- Regulate viscosity for a fluid and homogeneous application
- Accelerate or stabilise the chemical reaction between resin and Hardener
- Optimise film tension, gloss and resistance.
What are the advantages of 4076 Professional Reactive?
1. Active role in polymerisation :
Unlike traditional Thinners which evaporate without being involved in cross-linking, 4076 plays an active role in the formation of the polymer network. It improves the molecular cohesion of the dry film, resulting in :
- Improved final hardness
- Increased chemical and mechanical resistance
- Long-lasting, stable gloss
2. Excellent tautness :
Clearcoat 4076 provides a smoother application of Clearcoat, even in varying weather conditions. It helps to achieve a smooth, orange peel-free, mirror finish, reducing the need for post-application Polishing.
3. Versatility of use:
It is compatible with many Spies Hecker products, including:
- Permasolid High Solid Clearcoats
- Certain 2K primers
This product is therefore ideal for bodybuilders looking for a versatile Thinner, capable of adapting to different types of work (one-off repairs, complete interventions, fitting).
4. Product stability :
Product 4076 offers excellent pot stability, allowing professionals to work with peace of mind without fear of premature hardening or variations in application. This is an asset in an environment where precision is essential.
5. Adapted to workshop conditions :
Its reactivity is particularly effective in temperate to cool conditions. It promotes controlled evaporation, allowing perfect positioning of the pigments and an even finish, even when ambient temperatures vary.
For use in car body workshops:
1. Prepare the resin + Hardener mixture in the recommended proportions.
2. Add Thinner 4076 in the correct proportions.
3. Mix thoroughly
4. Apply the product according to the spray gun settings given in the technical data sheet.
5. Observe drying time and between coats
Spies Hecker's Reactive Thinner 4076 is distinguished by its advanced formulation technology, which enables it to act actively in the drying and curing process of Clearcoats, Primers and Lacquers. It is a real performance booster for professional workshops that want to combine finish quality, process efficiency and repair durability.
