Axalta Partners with Xaar to Introduce Next Generation, Sustainable Digital Paint Technology for Transportation Industry
22 Agosto 2023 - 11:00AM
Axalta (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global coatings company, has entered
into a partnership with Xaar, a leading manufacturer of
drop-on-demand inkjet technologies, to introduce Axalta NextJet™, a
next generation, sustainable digital paint technology for the
transportation industry.
Digital paint, also referred to as overspray-free application,
is an advanced paint application that will allow for precise paint
placement. Through Axalta and Xaar’s patented technology, Axalta
NextJet™ enables design flexibility for two-tone vehicles and
allows customers to create patterns, details, and images in a
sustainable way. The award-winning digital paint coating
technology also eliminates masking and reduces labor,
energy and waste while increasing productivity and efficiency
rates. This can contribute to a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions and
significant cost savings for two-tone vehicle manufacturers.
“We are excited to announce our partnership with Xaar and
introduce Axalta NextJet™ to the market,” said Hadi Awada, Senior
Vice President, Mobility for Axalta. “Our latest innovation is
powered by Xaar’s leading inkjet technology and paired with our
proprietary paint designed for jetting. This unique market offering
builds on Axalta’s investments in digital paint research and
development.”
Graham Tweedale, Chief Operating Officer of Xaar, added, “Axalta
was quick to recognize the unique advantages of Xaar’s technology
for their innovation, making use of our printhead’s ability to
handle fluids with viscosities way beyond what has traditionally
been possible with inkjet. Together we don’t just deliver the
required productivity, we significantly improve on it.”
Axalta NextJet™ is believed to be the first partnership between
an inkjet printhead manufacturer and a coatings manufacturer. The
combined technology solution is being tested with customers and
could be in production as early as 2024.
