Matt Clears

MATT FINISHING MADE EASY!

Reproducing matt finishes just got a whole lot easier with the latest Matt Clear systems from Axalta. Alongside the widest range of gloss levels in the industry, the Matt Clear system features easy handling and robust application for panel, multi-panel or overall repairs in any climate condition. 

The system consists of two clear coats – a matt clear and a satin clear that, when combined, can provide six matt levels from matt (5GU) through to semi matt (65GU). Using the Acquire spectrophotometer, in conjunction with Axalta’s advanced digital colour management software, the refinisher can quickly and easily identify the correct matt colour and the applicable gloss level within the colour formula.

When it comes to application, the clear is applied in a two-coat process, similar to that of an MS clear coat, with an intermediate flash-off and final flash-off of 15 minutes each. The clear coat system can be used over waterborne or solventborne basecoat and there is no special elastic additive required for plastic substrates.

Refinishers will not only benefit from incredibly reliable results, but will also gain from a significant reduction of up to 35% in drying times compared to existing systems, helping with energy savings.

Axalta’s new Matt Clear system technology is now available in our premium brands – Standox, Spies Hecker and Cromax.
