Mexico. Axalta introduced the innovative FCLE (Fast Cure Low Energy) automotive paint technology, which promises to transform the paint drying process and significantly reduce energy consumption.
This new solution, part of Spies Hecker's Speed-TEC system, uses an advanced chemical process that optimizes ambient temperature and humidity to accelerate drying, achieving up to a 58% reduction in gas consumption in paint booths.
"At Axalta, we consider our customers to be strategic partners. That's why we develop technologies that not only optimize processes in the workshops, but also comply with environmental regulations and guarantee high-quality finishes," said Daniel Salcido, president of Axalta Latin America North and vice president of Refinish for Axalta Latin America.
FCLE technology, developed in Europe in response to volatile energy prices, promises a significant reduction in operating costs for workshops, by enabling the effective drying of paint at room temperature and even at low temperatures. This solution also aligns with the growing demand for sustainability, helping workshops to decrease their carbon footprint.
In addition, during the CESVI Expo (Center for Experimentation and Road Safety), Axalta presented its advanced transparent systems for matte/satin OEM finishes and received nine approvals from CESVI Mexico for its Cromax, Standox and Spies Hecker lines. These approvals recognize the quality and performance of Axalta's products in the automotive refinish market.
Axalta reaffirms its commitment to the development of sustainable and efficient technologies, investing more than $200 million annually in creating products that benefit its customers and the environment.
