MISSISSAUGA, Ontario – BASF Canada has added a new product – Onyx HD – to its popular R-M brand. Onyx HD is a high-performance, environmentally compliant waterborne automotive refinish coating that meets upcoming Canadian environmental regulations.

Safer to use than solvent-based products, Onyx HD tinting bases also have no shelf-life limitations and will not freeze, according to BASF.

“We are really excited to offer Onyx HD to our customers and potential customers,” said Antonio Leandres, RM product manager for BASF in North America. “Collision repair centers that have already converted to this product line experienced a very short learning curve and are thrilled with the product compliance and performance.”

Onyx HD is currently available in Canada and will be available across the United States by the summer of 2008.
