The Syrox refinish system provides a cost-effective alternative to
premium product offerings. With a compact yet complete portfolio of
paint products, Syrox is easy to use and to apply. New users will find
the application technique of single coats with intermediate flash-off
times reassuringly familiar. Coverage can be achieved in two coats plus
one effect coat. What sets Syrox apart, in addition to its complete and
compact system, is its exceptional color matching, thanks to Axalta’s
established and proven spectrophotometer technology and substantial
global database of color formulas. Together, these two tools give Syrox
users an advantage in the bodyshop, helping to deliver, fast, easy and
accurate color-matching quality.
Syrox packaging is a first for the refinish industry. The design of the
plastic basecoat bottles incorporates a special dosing lid that is
designed to allow for extraordinarily accurate pouring, even down to a
single drop of paint. The level indicator window on the side of the
bottles lets users see when contents are getting low, and the
flat-topped bottle caps that cover the dosing lids enable the bottles to
stand and to be stored upside down so every drop of product can be used.
The bottles come in convenient smaller volume sizes and only need a
shake before use.
“The innovations that Syrox offers its users reflect what we’ve heard
from our customers,” says Matthias Schönberg, Vice President of Axalta
and President for Axalta’s Europe, Middle East and Africa region. “We
identified a demand for a straight-forward, conventionally-applied
refinish system that is economical to use and delivers accurate color
matches. The result is Syrox, which promises no compromises on color or
on quality. A complete all-rounder, Syrox is a refinish paint system
that is suitable for bodyshops of any size that must comply with
national or regional legislation on emissions of harmful volatile
organic compounds, and those who are not reliant on OEM approvals.”
Syrox is the result of Axalta’s approach to research and development, a
wholly new brand formulated to fulfill specific demands of customers.
Syrox is manufactured in Europe, and will be launched in selected
VOC-compliant markets in that region, as well as in Australia, New
Zealand, China and other parts of Asia, throughout 2016.
