IMPA Easy 1000 2K MS clear coat
IMPA Easy 1000 is a two-component MS clear coat with different application characteristics from the higher-solids HS systems. It can be suitable for repair work where a different balance of application and drying behaviour is preferred.
Choose the system according to repair size, required drying time and the refinishing process being used.
Which IMPA clear coat should you choose?
Choose Easy 3000 when high gloss, good flow and increased scratch resistance are priorities. Speed Lak is useful when faster drying is important, while the MS system offers an alternative for different application requirements.
Always base the final choice on repair size, available drying technology, hardener selection and the technical data sheet for the specific product.
Using IMPA clear coat with hardener
2K clear coats must always be mixed with the correct compatible hardener. Once the components are combined, chemical curing begins and the mixed material has a limited pot life.
Mixing ratio, thinning, hardener type, spray gun setup, number of coats and drying conditions can vary between products, so always follow the technical data sheet for the specific IMPA clear coat.
IMPA automotive refinishing system
IMPA offers more than clear coats. Its automotive refinishing range also includes primers, body fillers, paints, thinners and supporting materials, allowing the clear coat to be used as part of a broader repair system. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="6"}
