  • DuPont Refinish Product Feature: 1052R & 1056R High Productive Surfacers

    1 April, 2010

    Latest News:  1052R & 1056R are now available for use with 256S and XK203 & XK 205 Hardeners, in addition to 1010R and 125S.


    A highly productive surfacer that is airdry in 1 hour.  What are you waiting for?

    DuPont Refinish’s 1052R and 1056R High Productive Surfacers are just two of DuPont’s ValueShade® undercoats that have been designed to meet the demands of the innovative bodyshop; both products feature fast drying and high filling capabilities.

    Without doubt the most outstanding attribute of both 1052R and 56R is its drying performance.  The product is dry to sand after only 1hour at 20°C (airdry).  If application in done in a prep bay, this can free up booth time and reduce heating costs.  Ultimately this allows you to get jobs done quicker and increase your throughput.

    In addition, 1052R/56R provides better hiding through the patented ValueShade® technology.
    The DuPont ValueShade® system is very simple.  DuPont Refinish has developed 7 shades of grey undercoat that perfectly support every topcoat colour and make it perform better.  The undercoat technology gives faster topcoat coverage in few coats.
    For simple stockholding, shade of ValueShade® come ready packaged.  These can be mixed to create the intervening shades.



    In the ValueShade® range, DuPont™ 1052R is off-white (ValueShade® 2); DuPont™ 1056R is dark grey (ValueShade® 6).  Shades 3, 4 & 5 can be obtained by intermixing 1052R & 1056R.

    Refinishers can use 1052R and 1056R for a wide range of repair jobs, but the focus is on fast spot and panel repairs. It is very easy to sand, and can be coated with every DuPont Refinish topcoat.  By using different thinning ratios, the product can be applied as either surfacer or maxi filler.

    1052R/56R also complies with Europe’s VOC environmental requirements and is available in 3.5 litre cans.

    In summary, DuPont Refinish’s 1052R/56R is a highly productive surfacer that is airdry in 1 hour.  What are you waiting for?  Contact your nearest DuPont Refinish distributor today to experience the benefits of 1052R/56R.
