Sikkens has launched Autosurfacer HB, a new cost effective VOC compliant sanding primer. The product complements the existing Sikkens primer range to offer bodyshops flexibility and choice.

With a high build of 100µm per coat and fast drying times, Autosurfacer HB can be either air dried in 3 hours or force dried at 60˚C in 30 minutes. The high build of the product covers surface irregularities and the good flow gives a smooth finish which is easier to sand.

Ed Hilborne, Sikkens Product Manager commented, “this is a highly cost effective primer which also reduces the repair process time through its excellent sandability. It’s ideal for customers who are looking to cut costs without compromising the quality of the repair.”

Autosurfacer HB can be over coated with all Sikkens topcoats and is also tintable up to 10 parts with Autocryl LV Toners.
