PPG launches new waterborne clearcoats
Nexa Autocolor Aquabase P910-5510
PPG has introduced new waterborne
clearcoat technology for the automotive
refinish market. Positioned alongside
PPG’s waterborne basecoat Envirobase
High Performance and Nexa Autocolor
Aquabase Plus product lines, the new
clearcoats are key components in PPG’s
plan to offer complete waterborne systems for collision repair centers. With the
introduction of the new clears, Envirobase HP ECW8186 and Aquabase Plus
P910-5510, PPG said it now offers a
total waterborne paint system. The
planned introduction of new waterborne
primer surfacers in mid-2011 to the Envirobase High Performance and
Aquabase Plus lines will complete the
first fully waterborne refinish systems in
North America, according to the company. PPG has more than 25,000 body
shops worldwide converted to its waterborne basecoat technology.
