PPG Adds to Ditzler Big Flake Line
PPG Automotive Refinish has supplemented its Ditzler Big Flake product line
with seven brilliant new flakes. The addition brings to 13 the number of Ditzler
Big Flake selections available. The popular flakes, intended for use with PPG’s
Vibrance Collection brand of custom colors and special effect finishes, add intense
color and sparkle to custom car, truck or
motorcycle finishes and are frequently
found on award-winning show vehicles,
according to the company. The new flakes
are mini gold, mini silver, red, orange,
blue, purple and green and are coded
VM4420 through VM4426, respectively.
Ditzler Big Flake products can be used
to create a broad spectrum of basecoat
and tricoat custom color formulations.
The large flakes can be added directly
to basecoats or used as a ground coat
for Radiance II midcoats. They can also
be added to color blenders or PPG’s
Radiance II and used as a midcoat or
pearlcoat effect.
PPG has updated the Ditzler Big Flake
color card to include all 13 available
flakes. In addition, with the introduction
of the new flakes, PPG is offering special
promotional pricing on the six original
flakes: silver, gold and four color-shifting

Jotun Offers Resist 65 &
Resist ZES Zinc Primers
Jotun has expanded the Resist product
line by two new zinc primers, Resist 65
and Resist ZES. The primers were developed by Jotun’s Regional Laboratory for
South-East Asia in Kuala Lumpur.
Resist 65 and Resist ZES are two-component, solvent based inorganic zinc
ethyl silicate primers. Thanks to their improved shelf life, they are even more cost-effective than their predecessor products,
the company reported.
Resist 65 is a zinc primer that provides
excellent protection to steel substrates exposed to corrosive environment. It can be
used as the first coat in a multiple layer system for long term protection. Resist ZES is
best applied as zinc primer on blast cleaned
steel. Resist ZES can be used in combination
with advanced coating systems to further
improve protection against corrosion.
Resist 65 will be available worldwide,
while the sale of Resist ZES initially will
be limited to the Southeast-Asian market. Countries that hold the necessary
production license for the two products
include Malaysia, China, Korea, Turkey
and the UK.
