Pursuing the four pillars of workshop success speed, efficiency, sustainability and profitability is front of mind for many repair businesses and one output that can affect all four is energy costs.

So, delivering the ability to slash paint shop energy costs and reduce CO² emissions without added investment, is one of the strong attractions’ of PPG’s new LVP-565 Air-Dry Primer

The advanced primer technology in the new LVP-565 Air-Dry Primer boasts an opportunity to boost profitability through the flexibility in being used to meet a workshop’s individual priorities and production processes

LVP-565 Air-Dry Primer’s ability to air-dry in as little as 30 minutes at  20°C, lets the workshop save energy, power costs and get on with the next steps in the repair process. Alternatively, using Infra-red technology or conventional baking can accelerate the drying time.

PPG says the LVP-565 Air-Dry Primer delivers superb adhesion and priming characteristics in either scenario and does not rely on humidity conditions to enhance the speed of drying.

It also has impressive outright application speed and excellent sanding properties and PPG cites the example of where the application is achieved in a rapid, singles visit mode where no flash-off is required.
