PS1420 UV High Productive Primer-Surfacer utilises next-generation 1K technology to offer refinishers an array of impressive benefits across a wide range of applications. Not only does this UV-A primer surfacer boast an incredibly fast drying and curing process without the need for baking, but also it is easy-to-use and offers optimised corrosion resistance. The product also underscores Axalta’s commitment to the environment by eliminating CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic) chemicals and reducing waste drastically. Air Lift extends tow assist safety line The Air Lift Company is expanding its Towtal View tow assist product line with two new offerings for blind spot detection, lane change assist and rear cross-traffic alerts while travelling and towing a trailer. The new Towtal View LaneGuard provides proactive alerts with blind spot detection and lane change assist and is best for smaller trailers without a rounded rear. LaneGuard features LED indicators to be mounted on the front of the trailer in view of the vehicle’s rear or sideview mirrors. The indicators light up solid if someone is in the blind spot zone and flash if someone is in the lane change zone with the vehicle’s turn signal on. Automotive oils and lubricants brand Comma has announced the launch of its Groupe PSA-spec engine oil — Eco-PS 0W-20. Comma said the new product meets ACEA C5 standards, which makes it perfect for high-performance engines requiring low SAPS oil. It also meets PSA B71 2010 standards, meaning it can be fitted to some of the latest Peugeot models, including the 3008 and 5008. Eco-PS is recommended for a total of nearly 200 different models, across marques including Peugeot and Citroen. Comma said the new product has also become the first in its range to feature the brand’s new label design. Eco-PS 0W-20 is available from Comma distributors. Comma launches PSA-spec engine oil LKQ Euro Car Parts has introduced an innovative ‘Bag-in-Box’ sustainable packaging solution for its MPM range of engine oils. The range consists of 13 MPM engine oils, all of which are available from LKQ Euro Car Parts and the 20-litre Bag-in-Box offers customers a greener alternative to plastic packaging, and is set to take 40,000kg of plastic out of circulation per year, LKQ said. The outer box is made from sustainable cardboard and manufactured without additional dyes or bleaches. Once the oil is finished, the interior bag can be removed and the cardboard easily compressed for recycling.
