New systems are reportedly optimized for challenging applications, including:
- Dissipative and conductive flooring: For environments where electrostatic discharge is a hazard such as electronics manufacturing facilities, data centers or operating rooms, PPG offers a three-coat electrostatic protection system – an epoxy primer, an electrostatic dissipative grounding plane and a choice of topcoats for additional chemical and wear protection.
- Mechanical equipment room (MER) Flooring: The PPG MER system comprises an epoxy primer, waterproofing membrane and two-component topcoat to provide the combined resistance to moisture, temperature, chemicals and vibration these environments require.
- Ultra-fast Cure Flooring: For restaurants, amusement parks and other environments where overnight service is essential, the PPG methyl methacrylate system of primer, binder resin and sealer provides strong bonding with excellent water and chemical resistance in hours.
These options are expected to be expansions of the company's existing systems, which include general purpose, wear resistant, chemical resistant and urethane cement flooring coating systems. PPG states that their flooring coating system delivers benefits such as resistance to impact, abrasion and certain chemicals.
“A key PPG goal is to provide innovative solutions to address our customers’ greatest needs,” Masorli said.
“With these important additions to our PPG Flooring line, combined with the support that PPG’s technical sales team can offer through our stores and dealers, we’re confident that we can meet the performance needs of almost any customer with quick, easy specification.”
