Automotive Coatings

Application Automotive

King Industries has a broad range of additives and catalysts that improve the performance of automotive OEM and refinish coatings.

Reduce cure temperature & time 

NACURE^® acid catalysts accelerate the amino crosslinked reaction by reducing the temperature and time needed to cure the system. These systems are commonly used for primer and top coat formulations in the auto OEM market. Selecting the proper NACURE acid catalyst could improve the crosslinking of the final film. These tough high performance films can exhibit improved moisture/corrosion resistance, higher gloss, excellent exterior durability and improved adhesion. 

Excellent cure without harmful metals

K-KAT^® non-tin catalysts offer excellent pot life and cure profiles for 2K polyurethane spray applied applications.

Weather resistance for all climates

K-FLEX^® resin modifiers improve flexibility while maintaining hardness in addition to providing additional benefits such as UV durability and high gloss in topcoat applications. The K-FLEX product line also offers urethane diol resin modifiers for primers that improve stone-chip resistance and adhesion. K-POL^® 8211 is a value oriented modifier for formulators seeking good adhesion, chemical resistance and hardness in auto-refinish.

Corrosion protection for all terrains 

NACORR^® Liquid Rust & Corrosion Inhibitors provide corrosion resistance for solventborne and waterborne systems. NACORR can be used as the primary corrosion inhibitor or in combination with anticorrosive pigments. NACORR products exhibit synergy with anti-corrosive pigments improving the salt spray resistance of the coating.

Sag control with high gloss

K-STAY^® is an additional liquid post-addable rheology modifier option for highly pigmented systems for sag control with high gloss. Ideal systems are moisture cure and 2K urethane solventborne systems.

Sprayability, one of many benefits with DISPARLON

With the addition of surface control agents and rheology additives, the optimal automotive interior or exterior coating can be achieved with excellent pigment suspension/orientation, sag control, sprayability, anti-cratering, defoaming and leveling properties. DISPARLON^® provides a balanced mix of performance benefits for both waterborne and solvent borne automotive coatings
