A new EC800 Ultra Fast Clearcoat by PPG is a high-production, 2.1, low-VOC, air-dry clear for use with the PPG Envirobase High Performance system.
The new clear is intended to support high-volume collision repair centers focused on cutting refinish cycle times while still delivering premium quality finishes.
According to Deb Nucciarone, product and marketing manager for PPG Refinish Canada Inc., EC800 offers an array of benefits that production-oriented repair facilities will find attractive.
EC800 affords exceptional cycle time performance while meeting all VOC regulations. The new clearcoat also provides excellent gloss and appearance. It's suitable for single- and multi-panel repairs and requires no flash time between coats. It also dries dust-free in as little as 10 minutes. In addition, EC800 does not require bake time in the paint booth, thereby allowing shop owners to save on energy consumption and costs.
