AkzoNobel lowers VOC emissions with introduction of an updated basecoat offer

Bodyshops looking to lower the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emissions produced in their repair process can now do so with ease thanks to the introduction of the new Lesonal Basecoat WB GT E-Line. 

A simple switch from the Lesonal Basecoat WB GT to the new E-Line alternative, can help bodyshops bring their VOC emissions to a figure 10% below the allowance set out in the current EU legislation. Not only can it be easily integrated within their existing Lesonal system, but it can also, in certain scenarios, significantly reduce energy consumption in the application process.

Basecoat WB GT E-Line is available in the full current color range, via the MIXIT color database, and delivers the same premium color accuracy and perfect end results with which painters have become accustomed to with the existing Basecoat WB GT. It also has the same simple application process, blends easily without using additional special additives, and delivers a smooth even finish for all types of repairs.  

When converting to Basecoat WB GT E-Line bodyshops can be confident in the product performance but with additional benefits, says Rob Lagendijk, Commercial Marketing and Product Management Director of AkzoNobel’s Automotive and Specialty Coatings business: “Lesonal Basecoat WB GT is already a very successful product in the market, one that is trusted by Lesonal customers worldwide. Basecoat WB GT E-Line will therefore be an easy swap, one that has an impact on improved conditions for the health and wellbeing of employees in the spraybooth and minimizing the release of unnecessary harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

“And for bodyshops that are looking for new ways to reduce their overall energy consumption, Basecoat WB GT E-Line can assist by lowering CO2 levels within the repair process”.
