• DuPont Refinish: CC6400 Product Mixing By Weight

  28 November, 2011

  Although there is some information on mixing by weight of CC6400 Standard VOC Clear already available - we would also like to announce that we have created a wall chart providing more detailed information that can be used as a practical tool for mixing. Please contact your distributor or DuPont Refinish Technical Consultant if you would like more information.
  
  This information will be available on our colour tools via the next CD update so this poster can be used in the interim to provide aid.

• DuPont Refinish: US ColorNet Closure

  27 October, 2011

  US ColorNet Closure

  This note is to advise of the amalgamation of our colour formulas on to a single CD, eliminating the need for US ColorNet.

  Distributors selling Imron Fleetline have in the past needed access to a US ColorNet, to enable access to Imron Fleetline metallic colour formulas. More recently, US ColorNet access was also required for access to Aviation colour formulas.

  We understand this was an inconvenience to customers, as two separate colour formula CDs were required. This was due to colour formulas for DPR European-origin products and US-origin products being stored on separate databases. However, we have now been able to incorporate colour-formulas for US-origin products into the same CD as other DPR products such as Centari, and there will be no further need for separate access to US ColorNet to retrieve colour formulas.
  
  US ColorNet access will be disconnected at a date to be determined later this year. If you have any questions about this change, please don’t hesitate to contact our Colour Service department.
