A whole range of uses

adphos consulted system users throughout the development of NIR- MICROSPOT REPAIR.
We worked together with a car manufacturer to investigate the thermal procedure during the dabbing process, develop the system to series production stage and launch it worldwide. NIR- MICROSPOT REPAIR repairs dimples and pinholes, wetting defects, larger occlusions that cannot be polished, scratches and stone impacts in the top coat on steel, aluminium, SMC, PP and other plastics.

Ideal for drying and curing with NIR®- MIC-ROSPOT REPAIR:
    +  series clear coating systems (single component, dual-component)
    +  Special dual-component clear coatings for scratch-resistant surfaces                                   
    +   Dual-component repair coatings                    
    +   Water-based top coats (single-component, dual-component)
    +   Solvent-based top coats (single-component, dual-component)
    +   High solid coatings

The NIR® treatment causes no damage either to the coating surface or the substrate because the maximum temperature reached during this controlled process is below the temperature at which damage can occur.

1. The device is lined up above the spot that has been dabbed with paint. Non-slip, silicon free spacers ensure exact positioning.

2. Within the radiation area, which has a diameter of 35 mm, the paint spot is dried in around 20 – 50 seconds using high-energy NIR radiation.

3. The next dabbed spot can then be treated, or the rubbing down and polishing process can be initiated immediately.
