Improving efficiency
with Standox
In this issue of Interstandox, we're drawing your attention to a specific
Zvonimir Simunovic,
Brand Manager Standox GmbH.
aspect of our superior paint technology, that of “one visit application”.
This term refers to the application of our products in a single spray pass,
without intercoat flash-offs. In practice, you'll often come across the
phrase “application in 1.5 coats”. It goes without saying that the system
has to be reliable – in other words, the product has to be able to achieve
good results in a wide range of conditions.
Standox has been concerned with the technique of single-pass paint
application since the Eighties. At the time, all eyes were focused on the
development of a special commercial vehicle paint series that would be
launched at the beginning of the Nineties. The first “one visit” clearcoat,
20-60 Clearcoat, came onto the market in 1994. It was developed for
Standohyd, the first one visit basecoat system, which was unveiled at
Automechanika in Frankfurt in 1992. This has since been joined by a
multitude of clearcoats and our new Standoblue basecoat system. The
system is now being rounded off with our new Standox VOC Xtra Filler.
The ongoing development of our products and systems to boost efficiency
is characteristic of our overall approach. The stated aims are to introduce
better work processes and reduce energy costs with faster spray booth
throughput. Our technical service locally can help you realise your
bodyshop's full potential. Get in touch with us!

4 title story
Improving efficiency in a
single spray pass
Flashback to 1992. At Automechanika in Frankfurt, before the eyes of the fascinated trade public, Standox presents
a new technique that dramatically shortens the painting process: one visit paint application.
Revolutionary in its day, this technology has lost
nothing of its ground-breaking quality. For in times
when bodyshops are under growing pressure to boost
productivity, such an increase in efficiency can create a
competitive edge. Standox has consistently refined this
method over the years and now enjoys a huge lead in
terms of expertise.
Standohyd Basecoat.
Standox is the front-runner with
waterborne paint systems in vehicle
refinishing. Refinishers were able
to resort to Standohyd, a complete
waterborne paint system, early on.
•A
single system for all painting jobs
•H
igh opacity with economic high-yield
•V
OC-compliant and easy on the
environment.
A dynamic duo: Standoblue and VOC Xtra Clearcoat
Standoblue from Standox is a basecoat system that boosts
productivity in the bodyshop with its outstanding product
properties. The refinisher also benefits from the extraefficient painting process that comes from an innovative
system containing modern binders. The combination of
Standoblue with Standocryl VOC Xtra Clearcoat makes
it possible to apply the basecoat and clearcoat each in
a single spray pass. And this shortens process times
considerably.
Standocryl 2K 20-60 Clearcoat.
One visit application, which started
in the Eighties with Standofix 2K
Compact Paint, was extended to include
Standocryl 2K 20-60 Clearcoat in 1992.
• One visit application
• High gloss and excellent vertical
stability
• Highly efficient and simple application.
2K HS Clearcoat.
HS systems from Standox were always
ahead of their time. Long before VOC
legislation, Standox was committed
not only to yield and quality, but
also to environmentally compatible
top- and clearcoat.
• High vertical stability
• Bright gloss and immaculate paint appearance
• Good polishing characteristics
• Reliable handling
• Easy on the environment.

stabilities with high levels of thickness.
This makes Standox the first paint manufacturer to provide a complete single
application system.
• Available in three colours.
Ideal surface for perfect coverage.
• Application in a single operation with

• Saves material, energy and time.
6 title story
Erwin Hartmann, applications technician at Standox
Germany, has introduced many bodyshops to the
advantages of one visit application: “The process is
ideal for bodyshops that want better capacity use with
faster painting and increased booth throughput.” The
refinisher applies Standoblue Basecoat in a coat with
about 80 per cent covering power. This is followed by
the effect coat applied in the same spray pass on the
still wet paint film. Full coverage and a powerful effect
are achieved in this way. For clearcoat, it's the reverse
procedure – an overall, thin coat followed by a full
coat.
The combination of Standoblue with
Standocryl VOC Xtra Clearcoat makes it
possible to apply both basecoat and
clearcoat each in a single spray pass.
Outstanding results
Results from painting in a single spray pass are
excellent and in no way inferior to conventional twocoat application. “Standoblue forms a really smooth
surface after final flash-off,” explains Hartmann. “The
high solids content of VOC Xtra Clearcoat and its terrific
vertical stability produce an exceptional surface finish.
There's no trick to single-pass application,” Hartmann
adds. However, it is important for the refinisher to
observe the information on the technical data sheet.
One visit application shortens overall process times,
improves time management in busy bodyshops and
frees capacity. “First of all,” Hartmann explains, “there's
no need for the otherwise necessary flash-off. And
secondly, very good through-drying is achieved.” This
way the bodyshop saves not only time but also material.
“Savings of clearcoat amount to an average of 25 to 30
per cent compared to clearcoat applied in two or more
passes.”
And it's not only Standoblue and VOC Xtra Clearcoat that
can be applied in a single pass. The process also works
well with almost all Standox clearcoats as well as with
the established Standohyd and Standofleet systems.
This makes the process as important today as it was
20 years ago when first used with legendary Standocryl
2K 20-60 Clearcoat.

Pininfarina paints dream car
with Standoblue
Pininfarina, the Italian design specialist, has painted
its Cambiano concept car with Standoblue basecoat
from Standox. This fascinating hybrid model stands out
in its exclusive golden grey colour with iridescent blue
reflections. This impressive finish matches the vehicle's
unique technology and equipment. The Cambiano is
built entirely of carbon fibre and aluminium and powered
by a hybrid drive. The four batteries in total give it a
range of 800 kilometres and are charged on the move
by a 50 kW jet turbine. In sports mode, they accelerate
the Cambiano to up to 250 km/h. The floor of the vehicle,
like the doors, is panelled with varnished oak, recycled
from redundant oak piles from the lagoon city of
Venice.
The Art of Colour
Standox GmbH in Wuppertal is continuing its global image campaign “The Art of
Colour” with three new advertisement designs. As always, the pictures address the
concept of colour. The ads focus on the high performance that underpins Standox's
premium positioning on the market: efficient one visit application, practical advice
and the fact that Standox has received more approvals from leading vehicle manufacturers than anyone else. The illustrations from the international award-winning
image campaign are available for download from Standox as decorative wallpaper

with the minimum of effort. At a new, dedicated website, Standox presents a practical overview of aids to
digital colour searches under the heading “Go digital!”. Using a virtual bodyshop there are fun comparisons
of conventional and digital colour searches. Visitors can see for themselves how fast and convenient colour
identification is via Genius, the advanced colour measuring device. The microsite for these electronic tools

The specialists at Standox decided that instead of writing long and complicated repair instructions for
special effect finishes, they would shoot a film to demonstrate each step. So they hired a camera team for
a week, and started work to show each process clearly and graphically. For this project, they worked closely
with Mercedes-Benz. The Stuttgart car maker was so excited at the idea that it not only provided both the
vehicles (a Mercedes CLS in manganite grey metallic and a diamond white E Class T model), but also shot
a film at Standox for Mercedes's own AKUBIS TV – on the same subject, but with its own team.
Operations at Standox were understandably dominated by filming throughout the week, and by working
to a tight schedule on the set. However, the outcome was well worth the effort. “The videos are highly
instructive,” explains international trainer Harald Klöckner, who served as a model during the shoot. “In
the film, we show for instance how to spray sample panels in preparation for the repair of the complex
colours currently en vogue.” The films can be seen on Youtube at www.youtube.com/standoxonline and
on the Standox website under the “How to…” menu item.
