That’s Our Paint Travelling at 200 mph
In the highly competitive, design-intensive automotive segment, Nippon Paint showcases its aesthetic superiority as well as its protective quality. It’s in coating the finest cars that Nippon Paint has consistently set new industry standards with specially developed coatings for enhanced performance and vehicle life-span.
Nippon Paint’s automotive products include surface treatment chemicals, protective base-coats, intermediate coats and sparkling top-coats.
Nippon Paint is the only company that supplies an entire paint system for cars, dominating Asian markets such as Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Nippon Paint has developed a polarised paint, Maziora, which changes colour depending on the angle from which it is viewed or from where the light highlights it. This paint is used to re-paint automobiles or used as high-design paint for new automobiles and designer racing cars. Maziora can also be used on sporting goods, cellular phones and musical instruments.
While presenting a total service solution for automobile manufacturers worldwide, Nippon Paint is also closely allied with leading car manufacturers in North America and Europe.
Nippon Paint’s research team is currently developing eco-friendly products for the next generation automotive industry.
Surface Treatment Chemical
SURF, one of Nippon Paint’s popular surface treatment chemical, works excellently for cleaning the body of contaminants, degreasing metal and plastics, surface conditioning and phosphating. The chemicals are available in both powder and liquid forms, and can be applied on aluminum, iron and steel, copper and plastic by spraying or immersion.
Cathodic Electrodeposition
Nippon Paint’s Cathodic Electrodeposition (CED) paint provides the automobile protection against diverse climatic conditions. This electrodeposition system acts as an anti-rust primer, and also works effectively as an anti-corrosion agent. Nippon Paint is one of the leading electrodeposition paint suppliers in the Asian automotive industry, supplying both anodic and cathodic electro-deposition systems.
Surfacer
Used to condition the automobile after phosphating, the surfacer gives the automobile surface anti-corrosion properties and good inter-coat adhesion. This layer enhances the automobile’s finishing by bringing out the smoothness, brightness and gloss of its colours. Nippon Paint's range of surfacers include sanding or non-sanding polyester, alkyd polyester, epoxy polyester and acrylic polyester.
Top Coats
This is the layer that provides the first level of protection against the elements. At the same time, it helps transform the car into a thing of true beauty. Our topcoats come in a range of different resin-based finishes comprising polyester, melamine, acrylic and alkyd melamine. MACFLOW, one of the most popular Nippon Paint’s automotive products, is an acid-resistant topcoat that reduces the use of volatile organic compounds while meeting high performance needs for acid resistance
In Japan, Nippon Paint has also developed a polarized paint "Maziora" that changes colour depending on the angle from which it is viewed or where the light falls on. It is used to repaint automobiles or as a high-design paint for new automobiles. It can also be used for sporting goods, cellular phones and musical instruments. Besides this, we also have powder and water-borne coating products, which are used extensively in Japan, North America and Europe.
Bumper Paint
An integral part for the finishing in automobile design, Nippon Paint's paint system for bumpers comprises the 1-pack primer for polypropylene and acrylic substrates and resin-based top coat of polyurethane, nitrocellulose, acrylic, Cab acrylic and polyester.
Automobile Repairs
Nippon Paint's newly-developed range of glossy pigments, scratch resistant coatings and super-water repellent coats let car-owners give their vehicles a new lease of life with minimal fuss and hassle.
For example, the nax Colour Match Navi CT-X, a computerised colour matching system that uses fuzzy logic and a spectroscopic photochrometer to analyse colours, is widely accepted in the body-shop business because of its accuracy in matching original colours. Nippon Paint's nax Admira base-coat is also popular for bodywork repairs. This coating is easy-to-apply and dries fast, thus making it suitable for use in hot, humid climates.
Another product, the nax Quick Aid System is a quick, low-cost refinish system for minor defects. It takes advantage of the quick drying time of nax Admira, and works in combination with aerosol top coats and primer-surfacers.
