“Axalta is excited to bring this new coating technology to our coil
spring customer base,” said Craig Dietz, Axalta Product Manager. “These
products provide Axalta the opportunity to serve a market that has
growing performance needs.”
Complete with enhanced corrosion, impact and stone chip resistance,
Spring Black is formulated to allow a vehicle’s coil suspension system
to adapt to changing road conditions while supporting the weight of the
vehicle. The product technology enables the coil suspension system to
perform without compromising the integrity of the coating, which is
designed as a one layer system. A high build in the coating’s thickness
results in an excellent appearance.
Spring Black has a low curing temperature (150°C/302°F metal) which puts
less thermal stress on the spring and reduces energy cost. Spring Black
covers more surface area faster due to high transfer efficiency saving
up to 20% in powder consumption per square meter.
