De Beer's latest release is theWaterBase 900+ Series which the company says combines the best features of the existing De Beer waterborne technology, with many new features.
New mixing colours with excellent colour match
The De Beer WaterBase 900+ Series has included a variety of new high opacity tinters to ensure colour accuracy. Many of these tinters are newly formulated including almost 50 percent more pigment, eventually replacing its current equivalent product.
Innovative and recyclable packaging
De Beer's patented, durable, lightweight plastic containers are uniquely designed to keep waste to a minimum. The containers are equipped with a self dispensing system that minimizes the time the mixing colours are exposed to air, therefore reducing spoilage and waste. The nozzle spout avoids spillage and soiling of the packaging. The popular mixing colours are available in litre packaging, all other colours come in half-litre packaging.
Grey shaded undercoats
The increased coverage of colours and the colour reach improves substantially through the combination of new high strength tinters and grey shade undercoats. The undercoat can also be replaced by using the High Solid Surfacer as a grey shade. You don’t need a separate undercoat anymore when you use this method.
The grey shades are mentioned in the colour formulas in ICRIS and you can choose if you want to use the grey shade as an undercoat with the mixing colours of the WaterBase 900+ Series or with a high solid surfacer or wet on wet. Because you can skip a production step by applying the surfacer in a grey shade it is now even more important to check the colour of the car as soon as it comes into your body shop. There are six grey shades available in total, including black and white.
