1 December 2021 – Cromax® has introduced a new Ultra Performance Plastic Additive - AZ9700. It is designed to improve the effectiveness of the wet-on-wet Ultra Performance Energy Surfacers PS1081, PS1084 and PS1087 and the Ultra Performance Non-Sanding Surfacers NS2081, NS2084 and NS2087. AZ9700 Ultra Performance Plastic Additive offers both the flexibility and excellent adhesion properties required when painting the most common exterior plastic vehicle parts.

Thanks to this new, technologically innovative direct-to-plastic additive, Ultra Performance Energy Surfacers PS1081, PS1084 and PS1087 and the Ultra Performance Non-Sanding Surfacers NS2081, NS2084 and NS2087 now require fewer process steps and products for the repair of plastic parts.

Kevin Welling, Training Academy Manager for Axalta in the UK and Ireland, says, “This addition to the Ultra Performance Energy System from Cromax now allows bodyshops to boost productivity even further, by optimising the workflow of plastic repairs and increasing throughput.”

AZ9700 Ultra Performance Plastic Additive is part of theValueShade® concept which delivers the optimal undercoat for every topcoat colour, for faster coverage and reduced basecoat consumption, enabling bodyshops to speed up processes and increase profitability.
