PPG Industries (PPG) Launches Envirocron LUM Powder Coating

PPG Industries, Inc. PPG recently announced the launch of PPG Envirocron LUM coating. It is the industry’s first commercial retroreflective powder coating. The patent-pending coating is designed to improve visibility at night and during low-light conditions.

Till now, retroreflective items such as pavement markings, road signs and safety vests were possible with liquid paints, tapes and fabrics. PPG’s advancement unites the safety-enhancing properties of retroreflection with the benefits of a powder coating.

The newest launch has an excellent chip and abrasion resistance and one-coat corrosion protection. The coating is cost-effective due to its high transfer efficiency and reclaimability. It is expected to play a key role in PPG’s efforts to advance the sustainability of its customers and achieve 40% of sales from sustainably advantaged products by 2025.
