Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes’ new AWX Performance Plus 3.5 VOC Waterborne Refinish System utilizes a proprietary waterborne resin that achieves 3.5 VOC compliance in all regulated areas. The new system formulation provides excellent color match, as well as blending and application characteristics. It also exhibits superior product performance in areas where high or low humidity is an issue. In addition, it features new inventory-friendly packaging and labeling designed to minimize ordering and maximize productivity. The system’s new label designs include easy-to-read formula labels and convenient QR codes that will direct smart phone users to the AWX Performance Plus website. It’s available with two reducers to accommodate various ranges in humidity, helping to ensure proper application and superior product performance. When used in tandem with Sherwin-Williams’ HPC 15/HPC 21 Clearcoat – which air dries in just 15 to 20 minutes (at 75 degrees Fahrenheit) – the entire paint process can go from prime to shine in less than 50 minutes. Furthermore, these new clearcoats require no bake cycles, allowing shops to turn booth heat off. This creates a savings not only in time, but in energy as well. It also provides select toners in gallon sizes, helping higher volume shops to minimize toner order frequency.
