AkzoNobel has launched a new generation of fillers through its Sikkens and Lesonal brands to significantly improve productivity while lowering energy costs.

Known as Sikkens Autosurfacer Optima and Lesonal 2K Ultimate Filler, the one-stop, fast-drying filler systems have been developed to help save time and money, without compromising on quality.

Fast-drying at ambient temperatures, infrared and 60°C curing, the new products speed up cycle times, which frees up space in the spraybooth to ultimately lower energy costs by up to 85%.

Meanwhile, the one-stop application method can also result in up to 80% shorter process times when drying with infrared.

Patrick Bourguignon, Director of AkzoNobel’s Automotive and Specialty Coatings business, said: “Spiralling costs are among the biggest threats to bodyshops in the current economic climate. The new fillers have been developed to help our customers accelerate repair performance while tackling some of the major challenges they face.”
