Heavy Vehicles: New System in Final Layers

New System for Heavy Vehicle Topcoats HMG's new CFB system offers a new solution for ACE and equipment manufacturers in the haulage sector. The new two-component, high-solids polyurethane system brings a high-gloss topcoat better suited for vehicle repair to the extremely demanding ACE (Agricultural and Construction Equipment) and haulage market. HMG Paints' new high-build 2-pack polyurethane CFB 2K System, the largest independent paint manufacturer in the United Kingdom, further expands HMG's ACE (Agricultural and Construction Equipment) product range. CFB 2K Primer can be used on wet substrates and is formulated to provide excellent sanding properties, adhesion and corrosion protection for steel surfaces used in the Agricultural and Construction Equipment market. Alongside the primer, the system delivers an excellent topcoat for both OEMs and repair paints thanks to the excellent flow properties of CFB 2K Topcoat. CFB 2K Topcoat produces a high-gloss finish with excellent gloss retention and provides resistance to chemical and atmospheric attack, ideal for demanding environments. Danny Cleary, HMG Sales Director, commented on the new development: "Our new CFB system's superior anti-corrosion properties and excellent durability prevent corrosion in all conditions, extend the time to first maintenance, and deliver major benefits to customers adopting this system." CFB 2K System can be applied with Compatible Spray Gun, Pressure Pot or Airless/Air-Assisted and delivers a range of economic and environmental benefits. As a high-solids product, CFB 2K significantly reduces VOC emissions during manufacturing and application. Additionally, the primer and topcoat use the same hardener and thinner, reducing costs and inventory for the applicator. These features enable users to gain significant advantages from this high-quality, cost-effective system. CFB 2K System will also utilise HMG's new Colour Base Colour Box, which contains 2400 colour chips displayed in chromatic sequence across 20 fan decks. The Colour Base Colour Box features cross-references to a range of colours from the ACE industry, and users can also make comparisons against a product to determine the perfect colour. Colours are produced using HMG's innovative UNIT colourants and are available in a wide range of additional colours, including popular RAL and British standard variants. HMG Paints holds an unrivalled colour library of over 200,000 colours supplied either from HMG or through a range of local, independent distributors throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland who stock a selection of products and provide colour matching services. With over 5,000 custom colour matches annually, HMG's colour matching and colour development service produces consistent results across a range of applications and systems. CFB 2K System is an ideal coating solution for use on haulage and transport equipment, trailers, slurry tankers, site dumpers, excavation equipment and other machinery and equipment. CFB 2K system is available nationwide (UK) through HMG's distributor network, which provides colour matching services and fast delivery services.     SOURCE
