“After extensive testing, PPG is proud to provide the
high-performing coatings for this challenging application,” said
Shelley Verdun, PPG product manager, Industrial Coatings. “From
pucks to skate blades, we know that the red paint on NHL goal posts
takes a beating. The Envirocron Extreme Protection powder coating
system, with its proprietary chip resistant technology in cold
environments, will prevent chips, reduce scuffs and reduce
maintenance time.”
The benefits of Envirocron Extreme Protection powder coatings
include:
- Exceptional application transfer
efficiency, allowing for easy application;
- Consistent film builds on goal post
surfaces and a wide application window for ease of use;
- Improved chip mitigation that extends
the life of the coated goal posts and lowers maintenance costs at
arena facilities;
- Color matching capabilities to
NHL-approved colors; and
- Extreme impact and chip resistance at
temperatures as low as minus 30 F.
“The NHL and PPG share a commitment to innovation in all realms
of the game,” said Brian Jennings, NHL executive vice president and
chief branding officer. “Envirocron Extreme Protection
powder coatings will help to reduce maintenance needs. We will look
to include NHL goal frames with this product in our event
properties for the coming season and will continue to explore
organic ways that PPG products can be integrated into the fabric of
our game and throughout NHL arenas.”
PPG announced its exclusive paint partnership with the NHL®
earlier this year that made PPG paint brands the Official Paint of
the NHL in the U.S. and Canada. The company’s paint products and
coatings have a prominent presence throughout professional hockey,
protecting and beautifying hockey arenas from Los Angeles to
Pittsburgh and across Canada.
