PPG announces the introduction of PPG SPECTRACRON® Splash, which is a first-of-its-kind two-coat liquid coating system for composite bathtubs and sinks. The new coating system provides kitchen and bath manufacturers with a high-performance protective finish in colors and gloss ranges not available on the market until now.
Global Availability with Customizable Option
The PPG SPECTRACRON
® Splash system is currently available globally in standard colors with customizable options, which is a departure from the white or off-white industry standard colors. The two-coat process comprises a reinforced base coat that adds color, strength and durability to the composite substrate, followed by an unpigmented protective topcoat that seals the base and provides customized gloss levels that range from satin to high-gloss finishes.
“
In terms of durability and aesthetics, this system is a real breakthrough for the kitchen and bath industry,” said Maria Lamorey, PPG commercial strategy manager, industrial coatings. “
Our OEM customers want to provide products that are resilient and long lasting, as well as design and styling options that meet today’s leading consumer trends. This new product delivers both.”
The PPG SPECTRACRON
® Splash system exceeds OEM performance specifications for abrasions, wear and durability. This high scrubbability makes it a true differentiated solution in the kitchen and bath industry.
Other key performance features include resistance to stains, water and chemicals. The coating cures at 300-330 degrees Fahrenheit (149-166 degrees Celsius) through traditional bake or infrared (IR) methods, creating a robust finish that strengthens composite substrates and extends product lifespan.
