PPG Industries to Showcase Coatings at Metalcon 2016
PPG Industries Inc. PPG declared that it will introduce its newly reformulated Durastar Ultra-Cool silicone-modified polyester (SMP) coatings and showcase its flagship line of Duranar high-performance coatings during Metalcon 2016 to be held at the Baltimore Convention Center from Oct 26-28.
Durastar Ultra-Cool coatings are made to meet the increasing demand of the building industry. They combine new resin, crosslinking and tinting technologies developed by PPG for polyester coatings and unite them with Duranar coatings’ industry-leading pigment and primer systems. The coatings also have PPG’s proprietary infrared-reflective (IR-reflective) Ultra-Cool coatings technology, which deflects solar heat to help buildings stay cooler and use less energy.
PPG Industries will feature roof panels, siding panels and other architectural components coated with traditional and specialty Duranar coatings such as Duranar Ultra-Cool and color-shifting Duranar Vari-Cool coatings. PPG’s premier line of liquid coatings for coil, Duranar coatings are designed for metal roof and wall-panel applications that require high-end aesthetics and long-term weathering performance.
PPG Industries will also feature Duraform BP (building product) coatings. Duraform BP is formulated to provide a higher grade of coating quality to value-driven building product manufacturers, Duraform BP coatings feature PPG’s proprietary polyester polymer to enhance forming flexibility and increase resistance to fading, chalking, dirt and stains.
