Characteristics of Cromax XB155 Binder - Axalta :

Centari Professional Binder XB155 from the Cromax brand offered by Axalta is a high quality product used in automotive body shops to repair basecoats or undercoats in Basecoat systems. This low-emission binder is designed to optimise the adhesion and durability of paint layers, particularly in high-strength paint systems. Mainly used in pearlescent and metallic colours. Here's a summary of the different characteristics of this professional binder:

1. Excellent adhesion to your surface:

XB155 binder ensures optimum adhesion between coats of paint, which is essential to guarantee the longevity of the finish. This helps to minimise the risk of paint peeling over time, even in difficult conditions.

2. Excellent base colour stability:

The binder is particularly effective at stabilising and homogenising metallic and pearlescent pigments. It helps colours to hold up better over time, ensuring a consistent finish with no imperfections or variations in shade.

3. Easy to apply :

Centari binder is formulated to be easy to apply. This reduces working time and minimises the risk of errors, making it ideal for bodyshops looking to boost productivity.

4. Versatility in paint systems:

This Centari binder is compatible with various types of paint and Topcoats, making it flexible for many applications. It is often used in Cromax solvent-based paint systems.

5. Optimised drying time :

The product's low-emission formulation allows for fast drying time, enabling additional coats to be applied without too much waiting time. It has a number of advantages, helping workshops to speed up their process, reducing lead times for each project.

6. Increased weather resistance:

As well as enhancing the durability of the colour, this professional Centari 6000 range offers excellent protection against UV, weathering and various impacts, which is essential for the longevity of bodywork.

Steps for using the product for your spot repairs :

1. Clean your surface:

Your bodywork surface needs to be thoroughly cleaned to remove all traces of dirt, grease and oxidation. A good Degreaser will avoid disappointing results when spraying your product.

2. Mixing with pigments :

The product must be mixed with pigments or metallic and/or pearlescent bases in the proportions indicated on the manufacturer's technical data sheet.

Tech'team tip: We strongly recommend following the proportions shown on the technical data sheet to ensure excellent results.

3. Spray the base coat :

Use a spray gun to apply a first coat of binder with pigments, making sure to spray evenly and uniformly. The process is easy with the Centari range.

Leave to dry for a few minutes (the exact time depends on the manufacturer's recommendations and the temperature of the bodywork) before applying the second coat.

4. Topcoat :

Once the mixture is completely dry, apply a final coat (Clearcoat or lacquer) to protect the colour and shiny appearance of the bodywork. This professional product improves the adhesion of the coats, guaranteeing greater durability.

5. Drying and final polishing :

Remember to allow your bodywork substrate to dry thoroughly before moving on to the polishing stage. This can be done if you want smooth, flawless results.
