Expanded automotive coatings portfolio helps enhance battery
performance, increases visibility for autonomous driving
systems
PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced that it will showcase
developments for its expanded portfolio of paints and coatings
solutions for battery electric, hybrid electric and autonomous
vehicles this month at the 2018 North American International Auto
Show (NAIAS) at the Cobo Center in Detroit.
New technologies PPG will highlight at the show include:
- PPG IOCRON™ cathode binder –
This new cathode battery binder is a cost-effective product that
eliminates harmful N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP) in the standard
cathode coating process while maintaining battery performance. The
PPG Iocron binder will improve formulation and application
processes, significantly lower mixing times, and provide equal or
improved cell performance.
- Autonomous vehicle sensor coatings
– PPG is pioneering the development of paints and related
coatings that will improve vehicle and infrastructure visibility to
radar and light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensors used in
autonomous driving systems. The company has designed coatings with
enhanced dark color vehicle detection that allow the light to
penetrate to a reflective underlayer. The signal bounces off this
layer and returns to the sensor instead of being absorbed. This
coating leverages commercially proven technology from PPG’s
aerospace business that functions in the same light- and
heat-reflective way.
PPG also will display its CORE Relation color collection for
2021 vehicle models at NAIAS. The collection comprises four color
stories that represent the latest global consumer trends and
preferences. (EDITOR’S NOTE: For more information on PPG’s
