12 October 2023 – Standox has introduced a new 1K-Allround Primer Surfacer U3080S as an aerosol, which shortens the repair process considerably as one full repair step is eliminated. During preparation, small sand-throughs are common. These must be primed or sealed before topcoating. The new 1K-Allround Primer Surfacer U3080S allows fast processing as it provides excellent filling power and good adhesion on both metal and plastic substrates.

Paul Retief, Training and Technical specialist, Axalta Refinish South Africa, says, “Thanks to the 1K-Allround Primer Surfacer U3080S simple and universal application and its fast-drying performance, bodyshops can be more efficient, profitable and sustainable.”

1K-Allround Primer Surfacer U3080S is suitable for use on bare metal providing very good corrosion protection, and on all common plastic substrates with required flexibility. Application is very easy with good sprayability and flow, thanks to SprayMax technology.

Retief adds, “1K-Allround Primer Surfacer U3080S delivers high filling power with easy sanding. It can be re-coated after sanding with waterborne basecoats as well as with solventborne basecoats or topcoats.”

Additional colours – black and white – will be available in due course.
