Sikkens Autowave Optima delivers full hiding with just 1.5 coats of paint thanks to its high pigmentation. The one-stop application without flash-off between coats only requires the technician to go into the spray booth once, saving up to 50% process time compared to a conventional basecoat. This way, you can increase productivity and boost your bodyshop’s revenues.
Sikkens Autowave Optima does more than reduce labour and repair costs. The one-stop application also reduces energy consumption and CO2e emissions significantly with savings of up to 60%*. Material consumption is also reduced by up to 15% on average, as well as producing VOC levels of 380g/l, which is 10% below legislation.
Bodyshops can rely on Sikkens Autowave Optima to deliver the highest OEM quality standards. Its complete toner assortment covers a wide range of solid, metallic, pearl, candy, and special effect car colors in the market, as well as dedicated radar transparency approved formulas. The 100% digital color process with AkzoNobel’s Automatchic® spectrophotometer and the MIXIT® color retrieval software ensures the highest color accuracy and a reliable color match.
*Calculation of Process times, energy consumption and CO2e emission reduction values:
The reduction values are calculated with AkzoNobel’s CO2eRepairCalculator comparing Sikkens Autowave Optima data from internal testing to a conventional Sikkens Autowave basecoat TDS data.
The CO2eRepairCalculator has been certified by Carbon Neutral Repair (CNR). CNR certified the first Accident Repair Centre to PAS2060 Carbon Neutral in the UK.
