ProductsOverview
Product overview: who is it for? what problem does it solve?
Automotive putty is an aftermarket repair coating that provides 4S stores, comprehensive auto repair shops, and body and paint centers with the same appearance quality as the original car paint.The core problem it solves is that after a car is repaired due to a collision/scratch, the color, gloss, and texture of the repaired area must be completely identical to the original paint (no color difference) – meaning that non-automotive paint professionals simply cannot distinguish the repair marks. Kexin Automotive Atomic Putty System precisely matches the original manufacturer's color code (OEM Color Code), ΔE<1.0(CIELABColor Difference公式,人眼无法分辨),DOI>85 (meets automotive Class A surface standards), 60°C x 30 min rapid curing – helps repair shops shorten delivery time from 3 days to 1 day.
Product system:automotive body filleris a complete coating system — not a single product. It includes: ① Epoxy Primer (provides adhesion + rust prevention, suitable for carbon steel/galvanized sheet/aluminum alloy/plastic substrates) → ② PU Primer-Surfacer (fills sanding marks and micro-pinholes after putty sanding, provides a smooth substrate) → ③ Basecoat/Topcoat (solid/metallic/pearl three series, providing color and decorative effects) → ④ 2K High-Solids Clearcoat (protective clear coating + mirror gloss DOI>90, aliphatic curing agent for non-yellowing). Intercoat adhesion Class 0 (cross-cut ISO 2409). The 2K system forms a three-dimensional network structure through isocyanate-hydroxyl crosslinking — the cured coating resists gasoline/engine oil/brake fluid/cleaner (24h each, no abnormality).
Industry background:According to statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, China's car ownership reached 340 million vehicles in 2024—resulting in over 200 million bodywork repairs annually due to traffic accidents and scratches. The automotive putty market is approximately 12 billion yuan per year. Traditional solvent-based repair paints have VOC levels exceeding 500g/L—environmental restrictions have been implemented in many regions (Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen have banned the use of solvent-based repair paints in 4S stores). Kexin water-based automotive putty series has VOC...<100g/L——Meets最严格的地方Environmental complianceStandard。
ProductsFeatures

1. Precise color matching based on original factory color code (ΔE)<1.0)
Using a computer-aided color matching system (X-Rite MA-5 spectrophotometer and color matching software), the color is precisely adjusted according to the original OEM color code of the automobile—ΔE.<1.0(CIELABStandard,D65/10°光源)。覆盖全球主流Brand(奔驰/宝马/奥迪/大众/丰田/本田/通用/福特等)近10年的ColorFormulaDatabase——含素色/Metal Flash/珍珠三大colour range,30000+Formula。Metal漆的随角异色Effect(Flop Index)passedaluminium paste/云母Pearlescent pigmentParticle size和排列控制——Ensures与车身原漆在任何观察角度下无Color Difference。

2. Class-A surface · mirror gloss (DOI>85)
Coating DOI (Distinctness of Image) > 85 – Meets automotive Class A surface standards (equivalent to the quality of a new car's factory paint). 2K high-solids clear coat 60° gloss ≥ 95 GU – Full, mirror-like coating. Aliphatic isocyanate (HDI trimer) curing agent – No yellowing (QUV 3000h ΔE)<3.0)。CoatingGasoline Resistant/engine oil/刹车油/洗车液(各No abnormalities in 24 hours)——Meets日常用车Environment中的所有Chemical product identification接触。

3. Quick drying, shortening delivery cycle
Baking at 60°C for 30 min accelerates curing — the clearcoat can then be polished. At room temperature (23°C) it is tack-free in ≤30 min and through-hard in ≤4 h — enabling “spray in the morning, deliver in the afternoon” express repairs. Fast-dry clearcoat formulations can be polished 2-4 h after spraying without sticking to the polishing pad. This matters greatly to 4S dealerships and express-repair chains: delivery time shrinks from the 2-3 days of conventional refinish paints to within one day.

4. Complete package, one-stop supply
From sheet-metal putty → epoxy primer → PU primer surfacer → basecoat → 2K clearcoat — the complete matched system is supplied by Kexin. Interlayer adhesion is grade 0 (ISO 2409) — recoating without sanding. It is also compatible with equivalent products of mainstream brands (BASF Glasurit/PPG Nexa Autocolor/Axalta Spies Hecker) — 4S dealerships can switch suppliers flexibly without changing process flow.

5. Environmentally compliant, water-based/solvent-based dual series
Waterborne series VOC<100g/L——Meets北京/上海/深圳等城市禁止4S DealershipUseSolvent typeRepair paint的Environmental compliance法规。Solvent typeSeriesVOC<420g/L——Compliant with GB 24409-2020《Automotive coatings中有害substance限量》。两个Series均passedROHS和REACH-compliantTesting。Water-BasedMetal漆/珍珠漆的Color鲜艳度和Effect不亚于Solvent type。

6. Suitable for multiple substrates; excellent adhesion.
The epoxy primer achieves grade-0 adhesion on many substrates common in automotive manufacturing: carbon steel, galvanized sheet, aluminum alloy and plastics (PP/ABS/PC). The PP primer dedicated to plastic bumpers can be sprayed directly without flame or corona treatment. For aluminum bodies (increasingly common on new-energy vehicles) — epoxy primer + PU surfacer + basecoat + clearcoat — the complete system delivers grade-0 adhesion.
TechnicalParameters
System parameters
Performance
ApplicationProcess
Sheet metal repair + cleaning
Sheet metal repair → Grinding feathered edges (P80-P180) → Cleaning and degreasing (degreaser + dust cloth). Bare metal areas need to be sprayed with epoxy primer for rust prevention. Plastic parts are treated with PP primer.
Atomic putty + intermediate primer
Apply unsaturated polyester putty to the recessed area (sanding can be done after 20-30 minutes) → sand smooth in stages from P180 to P320 → spray 2-3 coats of PU intermediate primer → wet sand at P400-P600 after drying.
Basecoat spraying
Accurately weigh and mix the color according to the formula → apply 2-3 coats of color paint (with a 5-10 minute flash-dry interval between each coat) → spray the solid color paint directly → for metallic paint, control the spraying technique (air pressure/spray distance/gun speed) to ensure uniform aluminum powder distribution.
Clearcoat gloss-over
2K high-solids clear varnish in 2 coats (first coat semi-wet → flash dry for 5-10 min → second coat fully wet) → bake at 60°C for 30 min to accelerate curing (or at room temperature for 12 h) → polish after drying.
Polishing + Inspection
P1500-P3000 sandpaper wet sanding to remove dust spots → three-step polishing with coarse wax + fine wax + mirror wax → inspection of DOI/gloss/color difference/adhesion → cleaning and delivery. Quality requirements: no color difference and no repair marks visible from a distance of 1m.
