Waterborne Ready???Rondex is Waterborne Ready!Catch the wave. Be prepared. The federal government recently announced its Climate Change Plan for reducing green house gas emissions by 18 percent by the year 2010. As part of the plan, the federal government will bring forward a regulation to limit VOC content in automotive refinish coatings in Canada. The pending low VOC legislation means the switch to waterborne basecoat and low VOC products is imminent. A change this significant presents challenges, just like any other transition. The first thing you should do is relax. You’re not alone. We’re here to help make the transition to waterborne as smooth as one of your paint jobs. Getting you ready Converting to waterborne basecoat can be accomplished with a relatively low investment. In most cases, the cost of conversion will be offset by increased productivity and lower energy costs in the application process. A well-equipped shop will need only small upgrades to take advantage of the substantial benefits of waterborne basecoats. The first step is to determine if your shop meets the minimum requirements to successfully spray and dry waterborne basecoat. This is where we get involved. Our technical sales representatives are expertly trained at assessing shop conditions and equipment. We will complete a comprehensive shop audit and report any upgrades we feel are required for you to successfully convert to waterborne.

"I began in the automotive trade as a bodyman and refinisher in 1963, and have been with C. Penner Auto Body Ltd since 1972. Over the course of those years, I have used various paint products and suppliers and have always been impressed with DuPont products. I remember the day that Ted Greenwood stopped by the shop and introduced himself to me. After getting to know each other a little, he asked me if I would buy DuPont from him. Without hesitation I said yes. Since Rondex opened their doors in 1972 I have enjoyed dealing with Ted, Ron, Dexter and now their boys. We have always appreciated their professional sales people, personnel on the order desk and delivery staff. I’m reaching the age when I’m ready to retire and hand over my business to my son. It is with great pleasure that he will continue to deal with Rondex for many years to come."
