BASF’s Glasurit 90 Line introduces waterborne innovation

Eight new waterborne Color Advance Boosters enhance hiding and save time

SOUTHFIELD, MI, April 11, 2016 – BASF’s Glasurit^® 90 Line automotive refinish introduces eight new Color Advance Boosters that increase efficiency and performance for challenging red, blue and green colors. The boosters provide a higher pigment concentration to reduce the number of coats required to achieve a flawless repair.

“Our Glasurit chemists developed these boosters to significantly improve hiding and still provide a high quality Glasurit finish for many tri-coats, metallics and vivid colors,” said Shefali Cromer, Glasurit Market Segment Manager for BASF. “The boosters can reduce base consumption by up to 50 percent, resulting in lower film thickness, faster drying and reduced process times.”

The Color Advance Boosters are available in three red, three blue and two green boosters. When added to the Glasurit 90 Line toners they enable a more even application and harder curing, allowing for better ease-of-use, improved tape resistance and easier sanding.

Please see your local Glasurit distributor for more details.
