RHF Integrated Stabilizer

The RHF Series of Integrated Stabilizers for the Ultra 7000® Basecoat System

The RHF Integrated Stabilizers are targeted as a direct replacement for the current BCS Series of Stabilizers. The RHF Integrated Stabilizers incorporate catalyst into an improved blend of solvents, which directly results in improved basecoat application, durability and eliminates a step from the mixing process. Utilizing the new RHF Integrated Stabilizers also meets the requirements of the Ultra Lifetime and Ultra Edge for product performance. RHF Integrated Stabilizers provide consistent results to enhance your customer’s productivity and through put.

RHF Integrated Stabilizer Cost Over View
RHF Integrated Stabilizers represent a can for can cost increase of 33.8% over the current BCS Stabilizer option. However when a ready to spray calculation is performed on the Ultra 7000® System utilizing RHF vs. BCS with 1 Ounce of UH904, only a 3-4% increase is realized. The benefits that RHF Integrated Stabilizers provide in application improvement and durability far outweigh the cost differential.

Who is a target for RHF Integrated Stabilizer?

RHF Integrated Stabilizer should be targeted to:
􀂉 Vehicle Refinish Collision Centers
􀂉 Fleet Refinishers
􀂉 Manufacturing facilities requiring basecoat/Clearcoat finishes

What is the future of BCS Stabilizer?
BCS Stabilizers will still be available for shop floor applications such as trimming and cut in procedures if an ISO free application is needed. Some part number consolidation of the BCS Stabilizer line will take place in the future.

Are there any shelf life concerns regarding the RHF stabilizers?
RHF stabilizers should be handled like any other reduced iso-cyanate. RHF stabilizers should be thoroughly mixed prior to usage and always kept tightly closed when not in use. Please avoid storing the RHF stabilizers in high temperature / high humidity environments, and be sure to use any opened container within 14 days.
