Raabe Introduces New Lacquer for Plastic Surfaces
Menomonee Falls, Wis.—The Raabe Company, LLC, unveiled a new platform for its line of touch-up coatings. Precision Color can now be ordered in a Lacquer for Plastic Surfaces.
The new platform combines the properties of drying very quickly, toughness, and exterior durability. It adheres well to thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), polypropylene (PP), sheet molding compound (SMC), and fiberglass-filled nylon. The lacquer also adheres to traditional substrates such as metal, wood, and coated finishes. Lacquer for Plastic Surfaces is a great touch-up platform for the automotive industry, electrical applications, and structural components. As with other Raabe touch-up platforms, it is available in a very wide range of custom-matched gloss and color combinations, including very low gloss, which is often needed for interior automotive environments.
Lacquer for Plastic Surfaces joins Raabe’s other platforms of touch-up coatings that includes: Acrylic Enamel; Acrylic Lacquer; and Extended Durability touch-up for use on outdoor surfaces.
