Envirobase High Performance paint system. Not only is it officially the region’s most popular refinish solution, it’s also the product of choice for high volume repairers where speed, ease-of-use and reduced cycle-time is crucial. Nowadays,

At every step of the refinish process, the
Envirobase High Performance benefits are too good to ignore, says John Hristias, PPG Business Support Manager Asia / Pacific. “We are talking about a complete low-VOC system that delivers on every level. For example, in most cases application is just a single-visit mode (a light initial coat immediately followed by a full wet coat) so there is no flash-off time. At the same time, it requires about 25% less product to do it. However, what really makes a big difference to paint shop performance is the shortened booth cycle-time which frees your team up to get more jobs through the booth each day without having to work harder. Technicians can be a little worried about switching to low-VOC technology but the feedback we get is all about excellent colour accuracy, easy blending and aluminium control, fast flash-off and first-class opacity that gives great coverage. It’s why we are happy to put the
Envirobase High Performance paint system up against anything on the market. In fact, we encourage anyone thinking about switching to low-VOC technology to do thorough research, get demonstrations in their paint shop and speak to current users – there are no shortage of them when it comes to the
Envirobase High Performance paint system!”
