Catch the wave. Be prepared.
The federal government recently announced its Climate Change Plan for reducing green house gas emissions by 18 percent by the year 2010. As part of the plan, the federal government will bring forward a regulation to limit VOC content in automotive refinish coatings in Canada. The pending low VOC legislation means the switch to waterborne basecoat and low VOC products is imminent.
A change this significant presents challenges, just like any other transition. The first thing you should do is relax. You’re not alone. We’re here to help make the transition to waterborne as smooth as one of your paint jobs.
Getting you ready
Converting to waterborne basecoat can be accomplished with a relatively low investment. In most cases, the cost of conversion will be offset by increased productivity and lower energy costs in the application process. A well-equipped shop will need only small upgrades to take advantage of the substantial benefits of waterborne basecoats.
The first step is to determine if your shop meets the minimum requirements to successfully spray and dry waterborne basecoat. This is where we get involved. Our technical sales representatives are expertly trained at assessing shop conditions and equipment. We will complete a comprehensive shop audit and report any upgrades we feel are required for you to successfully convert to waterborne. Remember: the sooner you complete your shop audit, the sooner you can begin planning your conversion.

With over nine years of global experience helping more than 20,000 shops and tens of thousands of paint professionals make the switch to waterborne basecoats, DuPont Refinish is committed to providing extensive training and support to make this transition as effortless as possible.
