Improved formulas provide long-lasting finishes that perform in harshest environments
The PPG PAINTS™ brand today announced three new product enhancements
that will help painting professionals get the job done right and,
ultimately, enhance their customers’ experiences.
“With greater durability and overall performance qualities, these
reformulated PPG Paints products outperform competitive products
in many areas and demonstrate clear, improved benefits as shown through
extensive laboratory testing,” said Jennifer Burroughs, PPG senior
product marketing manager. “The enhancements address common job-site
concerns from professionals, such as dirt resistance and flash rust
resistance, to ensure better application experiences for them, and
exceptional results for their customers.”
The new PPG Paints product formulations include:
-
PPG Paints PERMA-CRETE®
PITT-FLEX® elastomeric coating offers a
100 percent acrylic formula that touts exceptional dirt resistance, as
well as a flexible bond to prevent hairline cracks and protect against
water infiltration to achieve uniform, pinhole-free jobs. To help keep
pros’ jobs moving and save time, the reformulated product can be
applied to concrete that is more than seven days old and with a pH
level of less than 13. It can also be applied and performs in
temperatures as low as minus 35 F, a significant enhancement.
-
PPG Paints SPEEDHIDE® PRO-EV
ZERO coating is ideal for professionals who require high
performance at an affordable price. The Speedhide Pro-EV Zero
formula provides excellent hide and coverage, adhesion, uniformity,
and broad color-matching capabilities, now with a zero-VOC (volatile
organic compound) formula* (*colorants added to this base paint may
increase VOC level significantly depending on color choice). The
product enables seamless repairs, with touch-ups easily blending in to
the original coating for less sheen variation.
-
PPG Paints SUN-PROOF® exterior latex house & trim
paint has been a trusted product in the PPG portfolio since 1900,
offering outstanding adhesion to even the most difficult substrates. Sun-proof
exterior paint resists cracking, peeling and flaking, even after
exposure to demanding weather elements. Sun-proof paint is
formulated to deliver outstanding dirt-resistance properties, making
it easy to rinse away surface dirt and grime with soap and water.
Additionally, the product’s flash rust resistance ensures that rust
from items such as nail heads won’t bleed through the surface. VOC
levels of Sun-proof paint are less than 50 grams per liter,
making the product VOC-compliant in all regulated areas.
“As a global leader in coatings innovation, PPG is committed to
continually evaluating and updating our products to better meet our
customers’ needs,” Burroughs said.
All of these enhanced products are available through PPG Paints
stores and independent retailers nationwide. To learn more about any PPG
