Summary
The Spies Hecker Speed-TEC System is a National Rule compliant surfacer and clearcoat system engineered with an advanced Fast Cure Low Energy (FCLE) technology for bodyshops that demand speed, efficiency, and a premium finish. When paired with Spies Hecker Hi-TEC basecoat, the complete Spies Hecker system unlocks its full potential – enabling a complete refinish process in as little as 30 minutes.
- Leveraging a patented Fast Cure Low Energy (FCLE) technology, Speed-TEC uses a combination of temperature and ambient humidity to accelerate the drying process, supporting energy savings of up to 49%.
- The Speed-TEC HS Speed Clearcoat 8820 provides a durable, scratch-resistant finish that meets OEM specifications, making it ideal for high-quality, warranty-grade repairs.
- The Speed-TEC HS Speed Surfacer 5560 offers a streamlined, two-in-one solution that replaces traditional sanding and wet-on-wet surfacers with a single, highly versatile product. It uses a single hardener range across the system, simplifying inventory and reducing costs.
- Additional Spies Hecker Speed TEC training resources are available on Axalta Academy, including Webcasts, Standard Operating Procedures, Painter Roundtables, and more.
