PPG Innovation Named Finalist For Automotive News PACEpilot Award<\/b><\/p>\n

Company\u2019s precision application technology streamlines painting of two-tone vehicles<\/i><\/p>\n

PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nPPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced that its precision application automotive coatings technology has been selected as a finalist for the 2021 Automotive News PACEpilot Award. The PACEpilot Awards recognize pre-commercial, post-pilot innovations in the automotive or future mobility category. PPG is one of 23 companies, and the only vehicle coatings supplier, represented among the award finalists.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe precision application technology is a zero-overspray coating system that greatly streamlines the painting of two-tone vehicles. The system produces crisp paint edges without the use of masking and other time-intensive steps currently required to achieve a two-tone finish.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe process, which applies a specially designed PPG decorative coating using innovative application heads, reduces paint shop time by approximately 50 minutes per two-tone vehicle. The new process also eliminates the need for extra cleaning and detackification. Additionally, this process advances customer sustainability goals by reducing CO2<\/sub> emissions and eliminating energy-intensive air filtering systems that handle overspray from the paint application process, further reducing costs and improving efficiency without compromising quality.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe conventional process for achieving a two-tone finish requires that a vehicle be fully coated with primer, up to two basecoats and a clearcoat before paint shop personnel mask off areas that will not receive the second color. The vehicle must then be run a second time through the paint line or a repair line, where the contrasting color and an additional clearcoat are applied. In addition to reducing paint shop capacity, this second run can add significant material, labor and energy costs to the total unit cost of the vehicle.\n<\/p>\n

\nPPG\u2019s new application technology comes at a time when two-tone vehicles are gaining favor. First popularized in the U.S. in the 1950s, these contrasting color schemes can now be found on dozens of models sold in Europe and North America.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOne day, complete cars might be painted using precision application technology, offering OEMs even more options for enhancing the appeal of their vehicle models,\u201d said Wolfgang Klaeger, PPG global manager, decorative technologies, automotive OEM coatings. \u201cThe success of this technology in the automotive space, with its stringent performance requirements, could lead to opportunities in other transportation categories such as aerospace, motorcycles, buses and trains.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nRecipients of the 2021 PACEpilot Awards will be announced September 30 at a ceremony in Detroit. For additional information about the PACE Awards program, visit www.autonews.com\/awards\/pace-program<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
