PPG to showcase PPG PRIMERON powder primers and PPG POWERCRON10x electrocoat at FABTECH trade show
Focus on next-generation corrosion protection, sustainably advantaged solutions
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25, 2024 – PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced that it will showcase industrial finishing innovations including the PPG PRIMERON™ powder primer series and PPG POWERCRON® 10X™ electrocoat at FABTECH 2024 metal fabrication trade show in Orlando, Fla., Oct. 15-17. PPG, a leading innovator in powder, liquid, electrocoat and pretreatment technologies, introduced both products in 2024.
The PPG Primeron powder primer range offers high corrosion resistance for substrates including steel, hot-dip-galvanized steel, metalized steel and aluminum. The series includes PPG Primeron Optimal zinc-rich epoxy powder primer with optimized zinc content. This patent-pending primer has a lower specific gravity than standard zinc-rich primers (2.0 vs. 3.6), making it less dense and easier to apply with a transfer efficiency of 85% and meets rigorous ISO C5 corrosivity specification standards.
PPG Powercron 10X, the company’s 10th generation cationic epoxy electrocoat, offers an expanded bake window and reduced weight loss during curing.
Visitors to PPG’s booth (W2775) can also talk one-on-one with representatives to learn about additional solutions and services for metal fabricators, including:
“PPG’s range of comprehensive solutions, ranging from pretreatment products to protective topcoats, ensures that each layer is compatible and optimized for the best corrosion resistance and extended asset life,” said Maria Lamorey, PPG commercial strategy manager, Americas, Industrial Coatings. “Our coatings are just the beginning. We partner with manufacturers and job shops to boost their operational efficiencies, cost performance and environmental compliance.”
Coatings experts from PPG will also participate in FABTECH’s educational conference:
