New formulations deliver enhanced application properties with optional satin finish
PPG (NYSE:PPG) has introduced PSX® 800 and PSX 805 coatings
for steel and metal surfaces, two next-generation products formulated
with greater flexibility and hiding performance than competing
polysiloxane coatings.
PSX 800 and PSX 805 coatings build on a PPG
legacy of more than 20 years of proven, patented performance in
polysiloxane technology. The two new products feature improved
flexibility, which enables them to withstand the cracking under stress
commonly associated with difficult steel, tank exterior and building
exterior applications. PSX 805 coating adds a durable
satin-sheen finish that masks imperfections on metal surfaces. Designed
for use in indoor spaces with strict chemical emissions limits, PSX 805
has also been independently tested by UL and meets the criteria for
GREENGUARD Gold Certification, contributing to the creation of healthier
interiors.
Diane Kappas, PPG vice president, protective and marine coatings (PMC),
Americas, said PSX 800 and PSX 805 coatings
add value by diminishing the need for traditional three-coat finish
systems. “Because of their flexibility, durability and good looks, these
products can provide single-coat protection over zinc-rich primers,
replacing two-layer intermediate epoxy and polyurethane topcoat systems.
That can help contractors reduce application costs, minimize waste and
lower environmental emissions on the job site as well.”
PSX 800 and PSX 805 coatings offer all the
benefits of traditional polysiloxane coatings, including low volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions, unlimited topcoat windows, superior
color and gloss retention and exceptional abrasion, corrosion and
chemical resistance. Typical applications are metal buildings and
siding, structural steel, exterior lighting fixtures, signage, storage
tanks, metal railings, bridges and finished metal parts.
PPG’s protective and marine coatings products protect customer assets in
some of the world’s most demanding conditions and environments, such as
projects in energy, infrastructure and marine markets. The company
offers PMC product lines such as the AMERCOAT® and SIGMA COATINGS™
brands.
