Presentation of the Cromax brand

An Axalta Group brand dedicated to automotive bodywork

Cromax is part of the Axalta Coating Systems group, an international company specialising in industrial and automotive paint solutions. Historically part of the DuPont Refinish brand, Cromax has established itself over the years as a benchmark in the world of professional bodywork paint.

Today, Cromax technologies are used by numerous professional body repairers and car repair networks throughout Europe. Thanks to its expertise in colourimetry and chemical formulation, the brand develops paint systems that deliver an impeccable finish, excellent reproducibility of vehicle colours and optimised productivity in the spray booth.

The brand also relies on digital tools such as ChromaWeb and ChromaVision, which facilitate shade management, mixing of basecoats and precise reproduction of automotive colours, whether metallic, pearlescent, matt or gloss.

Innovative automotive paint technology

Cromax systems are based on innovative formulas and patented technologies designed to improve workshop performance. The waterborne basecoats, high-performance Clearcoats and professional primers are designed to offer an excellent compromise between finish quality, speed of drying and ease of application.

Cromax paints are used for the repair of all types of vehicle: cars, professionalfleets, commercial vehicles and industrial vehicles. The colour accuracy and stability of the pigments mean that complex colours such as blue, red, green, orange, aluminium or pearlescent can be achieved with a uniform finish.

Why professionals choose Cromax

Recognised performance in bodywork repairs

In a bodywork workshop, the choice of a brand of paint has a direct influence on the quality of repairs and working time. Cromax products are designed to meet the requirements of professional body repairers in terms of finish, ease of application and reliability.

Cromax paint systems make it possible to :

  • excellent tension and a long-lasting Clearcoat finish
  • reduce drying times between coats
  • improve colour reproducibility
  • optimise the vehicle repair process
  • maintain high productivity in the paint booth

This system approach facilitates the day-to-day work of workshops and helps to improve the profitability and efficiency of bodywork repairs.

High productivity in the paint booth

Cromax solutions are designed to meet the production constraints of modern workshops. Thanks to technologies such as Cromax ultra performance energy Clearcoats and waterborne Matt basecoat systems, bodybuilders can achieve an excellent finish while optimising in-booth cycle times.

Products such as Cromax ultra performance Clearcoat, Cromax basecoats or professional primers give a consistent finish even on Partial repairs or aluminium components. This performance helps to improve workshop flow management and reduce vehicle downtime.

A complete automotive paint system

One of Cromax's strengths is that it offers a complete automotive paint system. The various stages in the repair process are covered by mutually compatible products:

  • preparation of the substrate and body primer
  • painting with Matt basecoat or Cromax basecoat
  • application of the finishing Clearcoat
  • use of suitable hardeners and Thinners.

This system logic enables professionals to achieve consistent results while simplifying product management and mixing in the workshop.
