The announcement was made by Greg
Benckart, vice president, Americas, PPG
Automotive Refinish.
Envirobase High Performance and
Aquabase Plus advanced waterborne
basecoats are premium-quality refinish coatings that are extremely popular
throughout the U.S. and Canada with
collision centers as they shift to low-VOC products. Both Envirobase High
Performance and Aquabase Plus are easy
to mix and apply, offer consistent and excellent color match, allow easy blending
with superb results and help shops optimize productivity and efficiency, according to the company.
The Good Housekeeping Seal is issued by “Good Housekeeping” magazine
and granted to products that have been
evaluated by the Good Housekeeping
Research Institute (GHRI). Before earning the Seal, the scientists and engineers
at GHRI review the product to ensure it
delivers on all claims made in its advertising, packaging and other informational
materials. If the product does not perform
as promised or does not meet established
standards for quality, it does not earn the
Seal. The Seal has been reassuring consumers about their product-purchasing
decisions for more than 100 years and is
one of the most recognized and respected
consumer symbols in the market today.
“The Good Housekeeping Seal is one
of the most trusted emblems of prod-
uct quality in today’s marketplace,” said
Benckart. “We have always been very con-
fident about the quality of our products
and back them fully. Having the GHRI
recognize Envirobase High Performance
and Aquabase Plus as brands our colli-
sion centers and their customers can rely
on is something we are proud of and hold
in high regard.”
PPG collision centers using
Envirobase High Performance and
Aquabase Plus will display the Good
Housekeeping Seal in their shops and in
promotional materials reassuring shops
and consumers that the products used in
their refinish work are backed by an es-
teemed symbol of quality.
