Imron - The Choice of Truck Manufacturers and Commercial Refinishers for 32 Years
In 1972, DuPont introduced Imron® polyurethane enamel, characterizing it as "the wet look that lasts" because of its gloss, chemical resistance and durability. In the 32 years since then, Imron has lived up to that appellation, and in the process has become the most well-known paint among the manufacturers, owners and painters of commercial vehicles. Its reputation has spread to other markets, most notably the aircraft industry, where it's a favorite with owners and manufacturers of single- and twin-engine planes. Indeed, when truck owners, aircraft owners and those in the refinish industry speak of polyurethane enamels, the first name that comes to mind is Imron.
While the term polyurethane enamel has many meanings to many suppliers and users, a polyurethane is any polymer that contains urethane chemical bonds. In the refinish business, this is achieved by the reaction of an isocyanate-containing activator with a polymeric binder.
