Ultra High Solid varnishes

They are today (until when ?) the standard and the rule among the varieties of car body varnishes : These are UHS varnishes, which represent more than 80% of the finishing varnishes used by the automotive painter and motorcycle. UHS is indeed a term only existing in the world of car paint.

What does this abbreviation actually mean ? Of English origin, the expression “Ultra High Solid” succeeded the old types “High Solid” and “Medium Solid”. The translation is the solids content. This refers to the ratio of dry matter to volatile matter.

Perhaps, and even probably, ten years from now people will say that these types of varnishes are archaic, outdated and mediocre, but in any case, today they are the reference in terms of quality and optimal performance.

UHS varnishes (Besaglass UHS bodywork varnish) are the result of continuous research for the varnishes of tomorrow, and the fierce competition in which manufacturers participate, for the improvement of resistance, gloss, and at the same time saving time and respecting the environment.
They are thicker after drying, therefore more solid, and less polluting.

Progress for the environment

It may seem contradictory, but you will have to get used to it: progress can be for both ecology and efficiency! This is the case with UHS varnishes, which are better in all respects and emit fewer VOCs. They are more solid, sparkling, filling and a lower quantity is used. In truth, the price may be higher, but the consumption is lower.

Science for ecology

As early as the 2000s, we became aware of the problems of the greenhouse effect and the fragility of the ozone layer. The reduction of emissions of volatile components, thanks to the implementation of restrictive laws, has enabled progress in the field of automotive varnishes and ecology.
