PPG expands its DELFLEET ONE® Paint System with a New High Performance Wash Primer

PPG today announced the introduction of the F8965 High Performance Wash Primer to its leading Delfleet One paint system following successful trials across all EMEA regions.

Developed for the commercial transportation industry using the latest technologies and raw materials, the F8965 primer delivers excellent corrosion resistance and a professional finish with no need to compromise on speed or performance.

This product can be used in conjunction with any Delfleet One topcoat; as part of a two-stage system when speed and delivery time are imperative, or a three-stage system for optimal corrosion resistance. The F8965 primer is formulated for wet-on-wet application, allowing manufacturers and bodyshops to benefit from reduced processing times and greater efficiency. This unlocks the potential for increased throughput, productivity and profitability.

The high level of corrosion resistance provided by F8965 primer also delivers significant benefits to commercial fleet and vehicle owners. Providing adequate protection for metal surfaces and components can extend a vehicle’s working life, as well as increasing long-term cost efficiency thanks to fewer expensive repairs and refurbishments being required.

Prior to launch, the Delfleet One F8965 primer has undergone extensive trials with end users in the commercial transport sector and has proved successful in terms of both performance and improved process efficiency.

One customer was a trailer manufacturer based in Poland. This business operates with strict requirements in terms of process times and performance quality, and reported that technicians “liked the application, flow and appearance of the F8965 primer” along with the benefits of a 25-minute drying time.

Feedback from a UK-based bus manufacturer echoed this, “F8965 High Performance Wash Primer helped us to reduce our process time by 45 minutes, compared with our current system.”

F8965 High Performance Wash Primer joins a range of best-in-class solutions in the market-leading Delfleet One paint system, trusted by commercial transport vehicle manufacturers and bodyshops worldwide. Delivering outstanding corrosion resistance, impressive performance and a great painter experience, the F8965 primer is available now.
