Glasurit 151-170 and UVFastlane 2K, the Perfect Combination:

Whether your customer already uses UV primer or still uses conventional primer, the combination of the Glasurit 151-170 and the UVFastlane 2K cart has the power to revolutionize their business.

UV primer has failed to keep the productivity promise that was made in 2004 when the technology launched in the collision repair industry. Adoption have stayed relatively low throughout for a number of reasons including the following:

1. The UV primers available simply did not look like primer. It was too clear so preppers just did not want to adapt to it. Many felt uncomfortable using it or ended up using too much of it because of its transparency then were disappointed with the results. 

2. Usage of UV primer was limited to spot fixes where you could set up a lamp stand. There was no continuous motion technology to facilitate using the primer on larger repairs.

3. The UV primers had a film that had to be wiped before the product could be sanded. This added an awkward step to the process. 

The Glasurit 151-170 and UVFastlane combination eliminates all of those concerns. Unlike previous UV primers, the 151-170 actually looks like conventional primer so convincing preppers to make the switch is a lot easier. Additionally, the 151-170 needs the least amount of sanding of any primer in the industry and uses the least amount of material and no longer needs to have any film wiped off before it can be sanded. As far as repair size, since the handheld irradiator on the UVFastlane 2K can go around the car, repairs of any size can be quickly and competently completed. 

When you combine the perfect chemistry of the 151-170 with the literally instantaneous curing power provided by the UVFastlane 2K, customers will see drastic improvements in speed, productivity, and profitability. 

Continuous Motion - in spraying and in curing, the ONLY solution: 

The entire basis of static UV light curing is a flawed premise. This is what the other UV system manufacturers failed to grasp in their designs. It is not a matter of just adding power to the systems. Because of the nature of light and heat dissipation, when you are fully curing the panel right at the center of the light, you are under-curing the area around it. If you run the light long enough to fully cure the outer diameter of the repair, you are overheating the center of the panel. This leads to many people running their static lights for a period of time somewhere in between over-baking and under-curing and resulting in a panel that looks cured but has the risk of delaminating and having angry customers coming back after months. 

As you can see in the image above, even though the competitor's light is more than adequate to cure the very center of the panel, it provides barely half the necessary dosage to cure 8 mil after a full two minutes. This discrepancy is not just a symptom of the light wattage as can be seen in the image below.

The above was done with a light more powerful than the second most powerful lamp in the automotive collision repair industry and despite the fact that it does a better job of curing a repair with a 6 inch radius, it fails to provide the necessary dosage for one with a 9 inch radius. This light also brings with it the added dilemma of serious overheating of the panel.

The only solution to the UV curing problem in collision repair is continuous motion. This is why SPDI has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars developing and patenting the technology. Nobody would spray a car without moving the spray gun. It is just a result of shady sales tactics and ignorance of the science behind UV curing that has gotten us here. 

Still, we recognize that it is sometimes difficult for customers to visualize just how much of a game changer the UVFastlane + Glasurit 151-170 combination is so we have put together the following tool to help you educate customers.

We have a number of sales documents and brochures available to you. You can print them here but if you would like us to send some to you, simply fill out the sales flyer request form at this link and we will get these in the mail for you within a business day or two. 

Sales Demo Units:

We know it can be difficult to convince a customer who has been doing collision repair for years without UV primer. Having a couple of glossy flyers will often not be enough to convince someone to potentially revolutionize their business. This is why at SPDI in Delray Beach, we have a number of Sales Demo units available for BASF distributors to borrow for customer demonstrations. Unlike the UVFastlane 2K Cart, the Sales Demo Units are designed to fit in even a small trunk. The units essentially pack the technology of the UVFastlane system into a suitcase. If you would like to borrow one of these units, simply submit the form and a representative will give you a call to arrange delivery. As long as you are a verified BASF distributor and the unit comes back undamaged, there is no cost for this loan beyond the shipping charges.
