Glasurit® launches first NEV Repair solutions for body shops

When repairing new electric vehicles (NEVs), BASF Coatings’ premium brand, Glasurit, reminds body shop painters to strictly adhere to the OEM repair standards. To protect the car's battery life during the repair process, Glasurit provides the most advanced quality portfolio for NEVs, which allows for drying temperatures under 60ºC for no longer than 45 minutes. This can be achieved using innovative Air-Drying and Low Bake solutions from Glasurit’s AraClass and ProClass undercoats and clearcoats.

Glasurit offers a digital NEV e-book through REFINITY and the Know-how learning platform to help body shop painters identify and evaluate the impact and process on automotive refinish solutions for safe, easy and fast repairs. Body shop customers can also make use of a marketing toolkit to increase the awareness of the most sustainable refinish repair processes with Glasurit for NEVs in their body shop network.

With the increasing number of electric vehicles on the road today, the use of multiple materials and their combinations necessitate that OEM body shops and aftersales networks ensure efficient repair standards. Glasurit continues to be the partner of choice for body shop customers to lead the automotive refinish repair standards with the latest eco-efficient and sustainable processes.

Glasurit 100 Line together with AraClass help body shops increase their overall performance with up to 40% less process time, making a significant difference in the throughput and profitability of every body shop, compared to standard basecoat lines offered in the market today. Glasurit 100 Line’s advanced formulation also reduces material consumption by up to 30% for every application.
