GLEN MILLS, Pa., Oct. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Axalta, (NYSE: AXTA) a leading global supplier of liquid and powder coatings, today introduced Spies Hecker® Permahyd® 2K Sealer 5650 in North America.
Spies Hecker Permahyd 2K Sealer 5650 is a two-component waterborne refinish product that reduces sealer application time by up to 75%. With just a single-visit application and blowers to dry, total application time is reduced to five minutes or less compared to approximately 20 minutes with traditional products. The fast application time can help busy collision centers get more cars through the booth in less time, resulting in improved productivity, cycle time, and cash flow.
"As a leader in the Multi-Shop Operator (MSO) space, we know a primary key performance indicator (KPI) of collision center performance is cycle time," said Troy Weaver, Vice President, Global Refinish for Axalta. "Customers must move vehicles through their shops quickly to maximize profitability and this sealer is another tool to help them do that. When 5650 is used as part of the super-productive Spies Hecker refinish system, including basecoat and clearcoat, total repair time is nearly half of competitive brands. There is just no better system on the market for shops that value productivity."
Spies Hecker Permahyd 2K Sealer 5650 is available in two colors, light and dark gray. Current Spies Hecker customers will appreciate 5650 for its ability to reduce the overall product system set by two SKUs, resulting in reduced inventory and more cash in hand.
Customers interested in ordering Axalta-branded products for refinish can contact their distributors or call Axalta North America Refinish at 1-855-6-Axalta.
