REFINISHING E N A M E L 85% of original gloss after 2 4 months' weathering
Photovolt gloss meter reading of car repainted with new Isophthalic-based refinishing enamel. After repainting, the cor was not waxed —hos never been garaged, polished, and was washed only occasionally. Reading shows 8 5 % of original gloss after 24 months' weather exposure—a wide margin of superiority in gloss retention, hardness and durability over conventional high quality commercial grade enamels.
Still another test conducted under severe Florida weather conditions compared an Isophthalic-based automotive r e f i n i s h i n g enamel to several high quality Phthalic Anhydride based auto refinish enamels. The result? After 6 months of rugged weather exposure the Isophthalic-based enamel had over twice the gloss retention of the PA based products. What improvements are you looking for in surface coatings? Hardness of finish. Better resistance to film checking or cracking. Better adhesion to
metal surfaces. Longer life in coatings. Greater flexibility. Better through-dry. Whatever property or properties you need in protective coatings — Oronite* Isophthalic can provide them. If your paint supplier can't provide Isophthalicbased coatings to your individual needs, Oronite can show him how to make them. Resin samples are available as well as data on their formulation and instructions on their preparation. Just contact the Oronite office nearest you.
