Cromax Sponsors Punch Powertrain Solar Team

Cromax, a global refinish coating brand of Axalta Coating Systems, has signed an agreement with the Punch Powertrain Solar Team in Belgium to become a Bronze Partner for the team's solar car development.

Under this agreement, Cromax will supply the paint for the solar car, which is scheduled to race in August at the 2015 World Solar Challenge in Australia. Cromax has been working with the team to develop a waterborne formula and application system for the paint that will be used.

“We’ve been competing in solar challenges since 2005, so this is the sixth car we’ve designed and built. Each one has pushed the development envelope a little bit more. So we are delighted to be working with a brand like Cromax. We share many values, not least of which is our love of innovation and our dedication to teamwork. We’ve still got a long way to go before the World Challenge later in the year, but with Cromax, along with our other partners, we feel up to the task. We can’t wait to see how the car looks once it is sprayed with the livery at its unveiling in August," says Karel Winderickx, PR & Events for Punch Powertrain Solar Team.
