Sustainability

Sustainable and efficient solutions for every stage of the repair process

At Octoral, we're dedicated to providing comprehensive solutions that not only reduce your emissions but also save you money and energy costs.

By transitioning to our air-drying solutions, your body shop can achieve remarkable savings:

Body shops are constantly seeking ways to cut down on gas and energy usage. By minimising or even eliminating spray booth usage, you can achieve substantial improvements. Air-drying products aren’t just about reducing costs, they’re a strategic solution that enhances profitability, boosts operational efficiency and delivers significant time savings.

For example, a non-sanding process using the Octoral PF345 Rapid Surfacer and C600 Rapid Production Clear can save over 80 minutes in one single repair in comparison with a traditional high-build repair process.
