AkzoNobel Pre-Treatment Systems Receive Chrysler Approval

AkzoNobel Automotive & Aerospace Coatings (A&AC) Americas has been informed that following an extensive review process, Chrysler Group LLC has approved two exclusive Sikkens pre-treatment systems for regulated and non-regulated markets.

The two systems are:

Non–Regulated Markets: AutoPrep (Pre-treatment Wipes)/Colorbuild Plus (undercoat)/Autobase Plus (basecoat) and Autoclear III (clearcoat)
 
Regulated Markets: AutoPrep Pre-Treatment Wipes/Colorbuild Plus 250 (undercoat)/Autowave (basecoat) and Autoclear Superior (clearcoat)
 
Unique to AkzoNobel, both systems have as their cornerstone component the recently introduced AutoPrep Pre-Treatment Wipes.

“This product innovation minimizes time, maximizes efficiency and lowers the environmental impact of the pre-treatment process," said Stefan Wieditz, director of RD&I Global Automotive Technology for A&AC Americas. “This process is critical to returning a vehicle to its pre-accident condition and its structural integrity.”
 
“We are extremely gratified to receive this acknowledgement from Chrysler,” noted Laura Costello, Director of Marketing for AkzoNobel Automotive & Aerospace Coatings Americas.  “These systems are priorities in the repair process and represent two key technological evolutions for both AkzoNobel and the collision repair industry.”
