Key Facts


  • PPG was the first to introduce breakthrough automotive coating technologies, such as cathodic electrocoat, also known as “e-coat.”

  • Products like PPG ENVIRO-PRIME® 7000 Super High Throw e-coat provide increased corrosion protection and reduced overall costs for our OEM customers.

  • PPG B1:B2™ compact paint system enables the customer to reduce the number of steps necessary to paint a vehicle by eliminating the primer layer. This eliminates the dedicated primer booth and all related processing.

  • PPG ANDARO® tint dispersions achieve a deep, pure and more chromatic color space than do traditional pigments, helping accentuate the feature lines and design characteristics of the vehicle.

  • PPG CERAMICLEAR® clearcoat has set a new standard for combined resistance to scratches, mars and acid etch. This clearcoat is the first to use nanoparticle technology and is the recipient of many awards, including the prestigious Automotive News PACE award, the R&D 100 award and the Market Engineering and Design award to name just a very few.

  • PPG DURABED® Sprayable Bedliner is the world’s first OEM-applied, high performance spray-on truck bedliner.
