Massillon, Ohio -- April 25, 2011 -- Pro-Spray Automotive Finishes has introduced an alternative for meeting low basecoat/clearcoat VOC requirements; the new Pro-Spray 3.5 VOC Solvent Basecoat System. “This system is a viable option to waterborne basecoat in VOC-compliant markets, and is an affordable choice for walk-in and non-waterborne collision repair shops,” said Tom Gardner, director – business development. “It utilizes existing Pro-Spray products, so it doesn’t require a major investment.” For example, the system uses Pro-Spray solvent toners and new low-VOC binders, activators and thinners. The compliant basecoats can be used over Pro-Spray 2.1 VOC sealers and 2.1 VOC primers, and topcoated with any Pro-Spray 2.1 VOC clearcoats. These compliant basecoats also offer an improved formula featuring a new binder-to-colour ratio for optimized coverage, sprayability and colour quality. In addition, the system has more than 63,000 3.5 VOC basecoat color formulas, which Pro-Spray says provides users with one of the most comprehensive colour palettes in the industry. |

Ajax, Ontario -- December 1, 2011 -- Athletes warm up before a competition. Motorists know that engine oil becomes thicker in the winter cold.
