PPG announces the launch of PPG ENVIRO-PRIME® EPIC 200R coatings, a suite of electrocoat (e-coat) products that cure at lower temperatures than competing technologies. The products provide sustainability benefits for customers, including lower energy use and reduced CO2 emissions at manufacturing facilities.
Ensures Well-cured Films at Lower Baking Temperatures
“
This is a game-changing technology,” said Garry Grant, PPG global product manager, substrate protection products, Automotive Coatings. “
Conventional e-coats typically require higher oven temperatures to cure over thicker substrates and complex assemblies, resulting in uneven appearance and variations in color.”
“
The PPG Enviro-Prime EPIC 200R platform ensures well-cured films at lower baking temperatures, providing a more sustainable solution without sacrificing manufacturing throughput or coating performance,” added Grant.
As part of its growth strategy, PPG is focusing on partnering with customers to provide industry-leading innovations and digital solutions that provide productivity and sustainability benefits.
PPG is a pioneer in e-coat, which is used in
automotive and
industrial applications and is a key innovation leading to significantly reducing auto body corrosion and extending vehicle lifespan. It is a
water-based technology, providing outstanding substrate protection for cars, appliances and
airplanes and is applied at over 95% efficiency, minimizing material waste.
