Developing attractive, distinctive colors by anticipating color trends
AUTOMOTIVE COATINGS
Automotive coatings need to perform the role of protecting car bodies from harsh environments for a long period of time with a thin coating of only tens of microns. Therefore it is necessary to invest in state-of-the-art coating technology on a continuous basis.
In recent years, the global trend in environmental protection has become more widespread and, as such, the need for water-borne coatings in automotive production has also increased dramatically in order to help meet environmental protection targets. PT. Hartwell Paint Indonesia had already anticipated such a trend and has, therefore, carried out further research and development in preparation for this. This foresight has resulted in successfully meeting the demands of the market without delay, and helped to gain a significant market share together with high levels of consumer trust.
It is clear that the car has become an essential tool of our daily lives. It is not only used for practical purposes such as goods transportation or commuting, but is also used for leisure and has become one of the most significant aspects in improving our quality of life in recent times. As such, the color of one’s car can be thought of as an expression of one’s lifestyle or individuality, much like the impression made by the clothes one wears.
In order to increase the marketability of the car, attractive and desirable colors play a very important role. To this end, one of our key missions as a coating manufacturer is to develop and propose new colors and designs which will achieve superior levels of quality and desirability for the consumer.
