January 10 2017 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Interior, exterior, protective, conductive, display and wheel
coatings to be showcased
PPG (NYSE:PPG) will present a full range of automotive coatings
solutions during preview days at the 2017 North American
International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit’s Cobo Center, Jan.
11-12. As one of few companies worldwide to manufacture coatings in
every major technology platform, PPG will use video and product
exhibits to demonstrate coatings systems designed and engineered to
protect and beautify virtually every surface in, on or under an
automobile.
The company will showcase leading automotive coatings products
and technologies such as:
- ENVIRO-PRIME® EPIC Electrocoat –
A 2016 R&D100 Award winner, Enviro-Prime EPIC electrocoat uses
patented metal-free catalyst technology with superior smoothness to
achieve world-class appearance, improved corrosion resistance and
thin-film pretreatment performance. Since 1963, PPG electrocoat
technologies have protected more than 840 million vehicles. This
latest innovation is available for both vehicle body-in-white and
functional-part protection, in high and hyper throwpower
versions.
- ANDARO® Tint Dispersions
– Award-winning Andaro tint dispersions will be displayed in the
full range of current-production colors and in new colors available
for the 2019-2020 model years. Andaro technology provides the high
chroma and color saturation associated with organic dyes, in a
durable pigment that meets original-equipment-manufacturer (OEM)
specifications, making it suitable for use in traditional
automotive paint shops.
- Conductive and Display Coatings
– PPG’s spray-applied conductive coatings are engineered for
obstacle-detection systems, self-dimming mirrors, seat warmers,
airbag weight-detection systems and related applications. They also
protect automotive components against radio-frequency interference
(RFI), electromagnetic interference (EMI), electrostatic discharge
(ESD) and lightning. PPG also will feature anti-smudge (AS),
anti-glare (AG), anti-reflective (AR) and anti-fingerprint (AFP)
transparent coatings for touchscreen panels.
- Interior and Exterior Coatings –
Interior coatings products include coatings for dashboards, door
handles, climate control panels, gearshifts, appliques and badging.
Exterior coatings encompass exclusive high-gloss monocoat finishes;
etchable, ultraviolet-cure (UV-cure), high-luminance (chrome-like)
coatings; and proprietary self-healing coatings that guard
automotive parts and finishes against damage from road debris. PPG
also will display paint-over-chrome-plating technologies for
interior and exterior surfaces, including plastic.
- Adhesives and Sealants – PPG
provides solutions that help OEMs comply with today’s requirements
for vehicle lightweighting and prepare them for future changes. The
company’s adhesives, sealants and acoustic coatings are engineered
for challenges, including crash-resistant structural adhesives,
low-temperature-cure products, ultra-low-density sealants, and
acoustic coatings with improved noise, vibration and harshness
(NVH) performance for aluminum vehicles.
- Underhood and Underbody Part
Coatings – POWERCRON® ADVANTEDGE™ high-edge, metal-free
high-epoxy electrocoats, VERSABOND® zinc-phosphate pretreatments
and DRAGONHIDE® ZRE zinc-rich primers—three advanced products
featuring proprietary corrosion-fighting technology—will be
demonstrated alongside industry-proven PPG products such as
ENVIROCRON® powder coatings; SPECTRACRON® liquid primers, topcoats
and monocoats; and DURABULL® and Dragonhide heavy-duty
polyurea-based bedliner coatings.
- Wheel Coatings – PPG coatings
for aluminum and steel wheels feature layering systems that
integrate primers, basecoats and clearcoats, backed by PPG’s
complete color-styling and color-matching capabilities and
technical expertise.
Additionally, PPG will display its “Kulture” color
collection for 2020 automotive models, which includes 70 new colors
across four color-story trend palettes:
- Hour Glass evokes nostalgia for
classic design but is refocused for the contemporary world. It
consists of heritage colors such as royal blues, olive greens,
refined browns and traditional reds.
- ES/Sense reflects the idea that
“less is more,” where simple, pure design and living in the moment
are key. The subtle pastel and ceramic hues in varying degrees of
saturation suggest a reaction against overexposure to social media
and technology.
- IMpower represents a response to
new ways of thinking, as well as new codes for design. It is a
balance of extremely chromatic colors and complex subdued
tones.
- Biocentric unifies the pursuit
of an organic lifestyle with the emerging trend of space
exploration. It offers a palette of nature-inspired hues with deep
galactic tones.
