How the spray can conquered the painting industry

The year 1998 set a milestone in the history of Peter Kwasny GmbH. After successful years as a manufacturer of spray paint cans for hobbyists and do-it-yourselfers, the company succeeded in developing a can technology that could rival a professional spray gun in its spraying and application behaviour. The SprayMax brand was born and with it an efficient solution for repair work in the paint shop and in industry. Today, the brand is a technological leader and internationally successful with a wide range of products.

The can as an economical alternative

Early on, entrepreneur and paint spray pioneer Peter Kwasny recognised the advantages of the handy and efficient can when it came to minor damage or rework where using a spray gun is often expensive, cumbersome and ultimately uneconomical. However, the technical challenges were tough: fine atomisation, good covering properties and, above all, constant spraying behaviour until the can was emptied were the goals. Intensive research and development work followed until finally, with SprayMax, a new technology could be presented. At last, original paints could be applied more easily and flexibly than ever before, and many users, who were initially sceptical, were surprised by the quality. Since SprayMax only uses paints from well-known brand manufacturers, the results were indistinguishable.

SprayMax soon convinced not only the body & paint shops, but also found its way into the industry. Today, numerous manufacturers from the automotive industry and other fields use the unique SprayMax technology for their applications and products.

SprayMax reloaded with lacquer and hardener

The demand for 2-component lacquer developed quickly, which again presented the Kwasny developers with a great challenge. The task was to develop a can geometry that combines lacquer and hardener ready for use in one product. This is how the 2K chamber system came into being, which separates the components from each other and only allows them to react through a sophisticated triggering process. The now trademark "red button" that released the separating seals was invented and patented in 2000. . The product stability and thus the processing time of the activated 2K can are significantly improved compared to the liquid paint used, so that a stress-free application is possible.

In the can, ready, go

In order to meet the wishes and requirements of paint shops and workshops even better and to make working with SprayMax cans even more flexible, a filling system has been established with FillClean that shortens the procurement process and preparation times even further. The cans, pre-filled with paint ingredients, were developed in such a way that only the respective basecoat needs to be mixed out and refilled. This means that a suitable quantity is ready for painting at short notice, without the need for cumbersome retooling or cleaning of equipment.

Today, a SprayMax range is available that covers all products and work steps in the repair of damage to paintwork and other painted automotive surfaces, so the user can work in a consistent, safe system. All the energy is already in the can, there is no need for any other power or heat consuming tools.

Export hit SprayMax: Back to the roots

And as the irony of history would have it: While Peter Kwasny brought the idea of producing spray paint cans from North America to Gundelsheim on the Neckar 60 years ago, the company is now exporting cans back across the pond with resounding success. Peter Kwasny GmbH, now in its 2nd generation of family ownership, stands for these and many other brands and enjoys an excellent reputation, particularly in the USA and Canada, due to the market success and popularity of SprayMax.

25 years are just the beginning

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary, we are now honouring the tireless idea generator and company founder Peter Kwasny with a SprayMax special series. The top-selling products of the "Edition PK" are presented in the popular 500 ml size, with 25% more content with a corresponding price advantage.

But 25 years is only the occasion for a gratifying interim conclusion. We have ambitious plans for the future of SprayMax: Modern paint systems are to be integrated and the performance of the application is to be improved even further. With regard to the sustainability and environmental strategy, to which we have committed ourselves holistically, all components that make up SprayMax are being optimised for ecological improvements: the paint, the input materials and the recyclability of the materials used for the aerosol can as well as the production, transport and storage.
