PPG Industries’  industrial coatings business has published a new brochure detailing its complete range of pretreatment and engineered products for protecting metal in automobiles, appliances, consumer electronics and industrial products.

The four-page booklet describes the broad range of PPG’s pretreatment products, organized according to typical industrial processes such as drawing and stamping compounds, rust-corrosion inhibitors, cleaners, descalers, zinc and iron phosphates, and final rinses and sealers. ZIircobond and X-Bond pretreatments, two environmentally advanced zirconium-based products that both received R&D Magazine’s R&D 100 Award, are featured.

The brochure highlights four engineered product categories, encompassing seven products such as new Durabull protective polyurea coatings, which are used to protect vehicles and their exterior components from road debris, stone chips, chemicals and other abrasive materials. Other engineered products are Spectracon zinc-rich basecoats, Audioguard noise-reduction coatings and Corabond adhesives and sealants.

Readers can also review PPG’s technical and service capabilities, with value-added expertise in areas such as defect analysis, physical and mechanical testing, engineering and production training, production line design and start-up assistance, and troubleshooting.
