Company experts to discuss successful electrocoat operations, corrosion protection for electrical components
PPG (NYSE:PPG) will showcase industry-leading liquid, powder,
electrocoat (e-coat) and pretreatment coatings and present two technical
papers during FABTECH 2017 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Nov. 6-9.
As one of the few companies with products and expertise in multiple
coatings technologies, PPG will exhibit an array of solutions that
enable global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to use
lighter-weight metals, accelerate or simplify production, and achieve
environmental compliance without sacrificing corrosion resistance.
Proven products include ENVIROCRON® powder coatings; POWERCRON® and
POWERCRON ADVANTEDGE™ e-coats; DURABULL®, DRAGONHIDE® and SPECTRACRON®
liquid coatings; and VERSABOND® and Dragonhide ZRE
pretreatment products.
FABTECH’s continuing education program will feature two PPG coatings
experts. Gary Orosz, PPG application process manager, electrocoat, will
present “Fundamentals of a Successful Electrocoat Operation” on Nov. 6
at 10:30 a.m. The session will cover how the e-coat process works, ideal
applications, technology options, cost control, efficiency maximization
of an e-coat system and basic troubleshooting.
Maria Lamorey, PPG business development manager, electrical transmission
and distribution equipment, will present “Corrosion Considerations and
Lifecycle Cost for Electrical Components” on Nov. 9 at 10:30 a.m. The
session will guide attendees through the options they should consider
when selecting coatings systems for performance-critical electrical
equipment, such as switchgear, enclosures, transformers and lighting
fixtures. Lamorey also will discuss how to identify and troubleshoot the
causes of corrosion for such equipment.
FABTECH is North America's largest metal forming, fabricating, welding
and finishing event. The 2017 show is expected to attract 50,000
attendees and 1,700 exhibiting companies.
