PITTSBURGH, Jan. 21, 2020 – PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced that it will
showcase its innovative approach to color styling and trend consultation in
the wood and building products segment during
The International Surfaces Event (TISE)
at Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Jan. 28-30. The PPG booth will
feature Chinese Porcelain – PPG paint brand’s
2020 Color of the Year
– and the company’s complete array of innovative solutions in wood and luxury
vinyl coatings.
Unveiled last June by PPG’s global color experts, Chinese Porcelain is a blend
of cobalt and moody ink blue that imparts calmness and restful sleep while
offering a spirit of hopefulness. The booth will feature wood and vinyl
flooring options that complement the 2020 color of the year to inspire
visitors.
“Drawing upon PPG’s century-plus heritage in floor coatings innovation, our
color team brings expertise that spans across industries and geographies,”
said Justin Epler, PPG coil and building product director. “The team’s vast
knowledge of the flooring industry helps companies identify and respond to
emerging trends, which enables our customers to more readily anticipate
consumer demand for specific colors and styles.”
In addition to its color expertise, PPG will highlight products for every step
of the coatings process for wood and luxury vinyl flooring. These include
basecoats, primers, fillers, stains, sealers and topcoats. Experts from PPG’s
dedicated wood coating research and development lab in Springdale,
Pennsylvania, will be available to answer questions about wood floor finishing
and innovations.
Products on display at the PPG booth will include PPG CLARITAGE™ III
anti-scratch topcoats and PPG RAYCRON™ ultraviolet (UV)-curable coatings. PPG
Claritage III coatings feature nanotechnology and proprietary PPG
UV-cure resins to resist scratches, stains and other damaging materials, such
as shoe polish, nail polish, mustard, iodine, food color and more.
PPG Raycron coatings are durable water- and solvent-free products
based on 100% solids formulations. They require less energy for curing
compared to coatings finished in hot air ovens and produce virtually no air or
water pollution.
PPG manufactures wood and luxury vinyl floor coatings in a full range of
technologies to meet the demands of its customers. Products include 100% and
reduced solids UV-curable coatings, waterborne and solvent-borne coatings, and
spray and vacuum-applied coatings.
TISE comprises three world-class trade shows – SURFACES, StonExpo/Marmomac and
TileExpo – making it the largest North American event covering the floor
covering, stone and tile industries. Each January, the show attracts buyers,
specifiers, media and other influencers from more than 100 countries to Las
Vegas.
