Saves 50% of the time. (EN)
With direct-to-plastic you can save up to 50% of the time needed for plastic part repair.
Cleaning is the only preparation you need.
CLICK HERE for the video to see how much time you really gain while using direct-to-plastic primer compared to the standard plastic repair.
ADVANTAGES
Direct-to-plastic primer with excellent bonding on untreated,
solvent resistant plastics.
There is no need to sand or thermally treat the plastic part
before application of DTP primer.
At least 2 times faster priming on plastic parts than
with conventional plastic primers/additives.
The primer can be overpainted with all common base coat systems
(water-based or solvent-based) as well as other 1K and 2K coatings.
LONG OPEN TIME
The surface allows up to 24 hours for overcoating before any sanding is needed.
NO WASTE
It doesn’t need a hardener so it can be used later or next day.
