What to think about
Time-to-recoat
Chain-stopped alkyds (S-72) and styrenated (STY-01) shorten bay cycle times without compromising film integrity.
Colour stability through bake
If the system bakes, build the colour layer on Unikyd CO-48 + Unimine MF 501.
Compressing refinish cycle time without sacrificing the topcoat.
Body shops switching from a classical alkyd to an Unikyd S-72 and Unilite 1125 stack reported 30% faster bay turnover with the same finish quality on inspection.
