AIR CANNOT BE SEEN, BUT ITS BENEFITS CAN BE FELT (ON THE BILL)

In 2022, the exponential increase in energy costs was the greatest difficulty and the main cause for concern for body shops. This is what appeared from several surveys on the sector, an assumption also confirmed by the daily interactions we have with the end users of our product.

Electricity bills and the soaring cost per metro cube of methane used for furnaces are putting a strain on automotive maintenance entrepreneurs.

Not all artisan activities were unfortunately able to successfully withstand the escalation in energy costs. However, even for those that were able to withstand it, the need to spend large amounts of money on paying bills compromised the ability to reinvest resources in the body shop (e.g., staff training, which is vital to remain competitive in the marketplace).

Unfortunately, the coming months could also see the same trend in energy material prices.
So what is the solution?

With a tripled cost of methane, one possible solution could be to convert the furnace into hybrid plants. However, this is a very expensive process for which today there are no incentives.

To overcome the issues, a growing number of companies in the repair sector are opting for ECO-AIR, the cycle designed by our laboratories to avoid the use of the furnace completely. And so, even if the air cannot be seen, its benefits can be felt on the bill (and not only)!

The ECO-AIR system was created to minimize the use of the furnace without compromising the speed of repair The cycle requires the use of wet-on-wet 100F7035 1K WATER-BASED FILLER that can be over painted after only 5 minutes with HYDROPAL120 base coat in HIGH PERFORMANCE (continuous) application. If the repair requires a filler primer that is fast and has good anti-corrosive properties, we recommend 873.SP77 SPEED FILLER, sandable after only 20 minutes of air-drying. The painting ends with the high-performance 223.0550 UHS SUPERFAST CLEAR 2:1 air clear-coat, which allows the part to be handled after only 15 minutes and clears the furnace for further processing.

There are also significant positive effects on the environment and health protection for the operator with a truly limited product VOC.
