Features of Sikkens Autosurfacer UV
Autosurfacer UV uses ultraviolet (UV) light curing technology, which allows for extremely fast drying. This revolutionary technology dramatically reduces drying time compared to traditional methods, improving efficiency and productivity in body shops. This surfacer is applied as a primer to prepare the surface before final painting. It fills and masks small imperfections, creating a smooth, even base for the Topcoat.
Autosurfacer UV is formulated for easy application with a spray gun. Once applied, it is exposed to a UV light source to cure in minutes, reducing the waiting time between the Preparation and Paint stages. Once cured, it is easy to sand, allowing technicians to obtain a perfectly smooth surface ready for final painting. It is compatible with a wide range of paint systems, including solvent-based and water-based paints, making it adaptable to a variety of situations and types of repair. Using UV curing technology, Autosurfacer UV can reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, contributing to a safer and greener working environment. It is important to follow the manufacturer's safety recommendations, including wearing adequate protection when exposed to UV light. Thanks to its fast drying and ease of use, Autosurfacer UV helps to reduce repair cycle times, increasing the productivity of bodyshops. It can also help reduce operational costs by optimising the use of time and resources.
