This week’s key takeaway:
The history and the future of paint
Episode intro:
For the very first time we go out on site to record an episode of the Paint & Panel podcast. Editor Sam goes off to the Axalta HQ in Sydney to chat to Paul Poverino about all-things paint. Paul is the Technical Training Manager at Axalta and really knows his stuff about the latest trends in paint and repair.
It was very interesting to find out just how sophisticated waterborne paint has become these days, and we also get a little snapshot into what we can expect from the marketplace in the next few years.
In this week’s episode you will learn:
-Low-energy paint curing
-How to avoid using specialist drying equipment
-Waterborne V solvent paint
-How Paul now sells more waterborne paint than anything else
-Why curing speed is improving
-The training required for waterborne paint
-The Lexus sonic system
-How you can now paint at a lower temperature
-The future of clear coats
-Why you still need proper PPE for waterborne paint
-Where is paint technology going to go next?
