Hawkeye Industries (Bloomington, Calif., U.S.) is highlighting its improved in-mold primers and topcoats for part durability and weight savings. The company says its formulations enable manufacturers an ease-free application, resulting in UV-resistant, high-gloss, dependable surfaces. The in-mold primers and topcoats are engineered for sectors such as overland and RV vehicles, automotive aftermarket and race car parts, as well as marine manufacturing.

Duratec sealers, putty, primers and topcoats are designed with air-cure capability, which enables thin-film, tack-free surfaces. The Duratec product line is said to be versatile and adaptable for many uses across the composites industry.

Styrosafe resin and Styroshield primers act as a barrier coat and aid in creating highly durable plug, pattern, art or architecture projects to be made with low-cost EPS foam.

Aqua-Buff compounds and polishes can provide high-gloss finishes for patterns, molds and parts.

At the booth, Hawkeye’s technical sales team is on hand available to identify pinch points in customers’ processes and product recommendations, answer questions and discuss the company’s products. The company’s products, developed in the U.S., are sold globally through independent distribution.
 

Hawkeye Industries will be exhibiting new technology at CAMX 2024 in San Diego, CA this September.
