Fast drying bodywork clearcoat
The aesthetics of a car are not limited to its design; the finish, in particular the paintwork, plays a major role. The car painting clearcoat, the final layer applied during the painting process, is essential to protect the paintwork from scratches, wear and weathering, while providing a shimmering gloss that's seductive at first glance. With this in mind, air dry clearcoat offers an innovative alternative to traditional clearcoat.

The advantages of fast drying clearcoat
How it works
Unlike traditional clearcoat, which requires a source of heat to dry, quick-drying fast drying clearcoat simply by being exposed to the ambient air. This technology is based on a chemical reaction that causes the clearcoat to harden when it comes into contact with oxygen.
Significant energy savings
1. Comparison of traditional drying methods
Traditional drying methods require significant energy consumption, generally in the form of heat. This energy is used to accelerate the chemical reaction that hardens the clearcoat.
2. Saving gas in the spray booth
Fast drying clearcoat , on the other hand, saves energy that would otherwise be used to heat the spray booth. This energy saving translates directly into lower costs.
Environmental benefits
As well as saving energy, air dry clearcoat offers a significant environmental benefit. By avoiding heating the paint booth, it helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It also emits fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are harmful to health and the environment.
Profitability and positive impact for BtoB companies
For bodybuilders, the adoption of air dry clearcoat means lower operating costs, greater efficiency and a more environmentally friendly brand image. This technology also offers greater flexibility, as it can be used in environments with varying temperatures.

Our advice on applying Air Dry Clearcoat
Application
Applying air dry clearcoat does not require any special techniques or expensive equipment. It can be applied with conventional paint sprayers. However, it is crucial to ensure that the clearcoat is evenly applied to guarantee optimum results. A poorly applied clearcoat can result in an uneven finish or defects such as sagging or staining.
Preparation
Preparing the surface to be clearcoated is a crucial step. It must be thoroughly cleaned and degreased to ensure optimum clearcoat adhesion. A poorly prepared surface can lead to defects such as peeling or cracking of the clearcoat.
Conditions of use
It is also important to consider the conditions of application. Air dry clearcoat can be used in variable temperature environments. However, it is advisable to apply the clearcoat in as stable an environment as possible. Temperatures that are too cold can slow down the drying process, while temperatures that are too hot can cause defects such as bubbles or blisters.
Maintenance
Once the air dry clearcoat has been applied, it requires very little maintenance. However, as with any vehicle coating, regular cleaning is recommended to preserve the shine and clarity of the clearcoat. It's also important to note that certain chemicals, such as solvent-based car cleaners, can damage the clearcoat. So it's best to choose gentle cleaning products specifically designed for car refinishing.
