Spies Hecker Permasolid Speed-TEC Speed Surfacer 5560 and Speed Clear Coat

Category: Mechanical/Materials
Developers: Axalta


Product Description:Axalta's Spies Hecker line of Permasolid Speed-TEC is a collision repair paint system that reduces energy consumption by up to 49% and cutting cycle times by 50% compared to conventional systems. It is one of the fastest repair systems in the refinish market, delivering performance that meets the same rigorous standards of aesthetics, chemical durability and weathering resistance required by automakers for original production finishes. The technology features fast drying at low temperatures, 10–15 minutes at 40–45°C or 30–55 minutes at 20°C; reduced cycle times and energy consumption; and does not need a basecoat activation. The technology is backed by Daimler, BMW, and VW. The system offers excellent scratch, chemical, and weather resistance, superior adhesion, and outstanding corrosion protection. The system is suitable for air-dry or low-bake, on metal and plastics, in sanding or wet-on-wet modes—all using a single common hardener for both clearcoat and surfacer.
