The local collision repair industry has missed out on high productivity seam sealing options for too long. By curing in a matter of minutes, not hours, SEM Products’ high-tech Dual-Mix 2K Seam Sealers give repairers all-new opportunities to reduce cycle-time and increase productivity without compromising quality. Where slow cure times of traditional 1K seam sealers forced repairers into inefficient, stop-start practices, the Dual-Mix 2K Seam Sealer range is about breaking this ‘it’s-always-been-done-this-way’ mould by taking advantage of the super quick drying, two pack technology, says Kurt Way, PPG Category Manager, Associated Products.
“These time savings are real – during extensive local testing we found that after just 10 minutes, the Dual-Mix 2K Seam Sealers are fully cured. This means that, for just a small shift in the way we think about the seam sealing process, there are big benefits on offer. SEM Products’ 2K technology is used in the same places and in the same way as you would with the company’s 1K seam sealers. However, after application there is no need for the job to sit around, taking up workshop space and putting cycle-time on hold. Forget technicians having to switch to another job while the seam sealer dries – they can actually continue with the job, complete it more quickly and get it out the door and back to the customer so the shop can get paid for it.”
Colours, finishes and applicators to mimic factory appearance
As well as producing a quality seal, the seam sealing process is about reproducing the original factory appearance, thus creating an invisible repair that doesn’t devalue the customer’s vehicle. In order to make it easy for technicians to get the OEM-style look just right, SEM Products has created a variety of cleverly designed applicators, nozzles and accessories. There is also a number of sealer colours designed to match OEM colours, as well as options including a heavy bodied version, a self-levelling type and a high-build self-levelling variety. Crucially, the entire Dual-Mix 2K Seam Sealer range can be applied direct to metal with no adhesion promoter required.
