“As we continue to assemble Axalta’s
commercial transportation economy
portfolio, the introduction of RV450 ep-
oxy primer brings a workhorse product
into the Rival offering”
Rival RV450 Epoxy Primer is formu-
lated to provide maximum adhesion and
corrosion resistance on properly treated
substrates. This product is a two-com-
ponent, high solids, non-sanding, epoxy
primer-sealer with a 3. 5 lbs/gallon vola-
tile organic compounds (VOC) level. It is
recommended to be used with Rival top-
coat products.

“As we continue to assemble Axalta’s commercial transportation economy portfolio, the introduction of RV450 epoxy primer brings a workhorse product into the Rival offering,” said Jim Fawcett, Axalta Commercial Transportation Product Manager.

The Rival brand was introduced in 2013 with a single stage polyurethane enamel as a cost-effective finish for dealers, independent shops, fleets and mu-nicipalities. Rival topcoat is available in solid and metallic colors to give shops the flexibility to choose just the right Axalta product needed for the job. In May 2015, Axalta released a urethane primer and polyurethane clearcoat to enhance the product offering for the economy commercial vehicle market.

PPG Debuts PPG ONE
Series of Single-Component
Coatings

PPG Industries’ protective and marine
coatings (PMC) business has introduced
the PPG ONE Series, a collection of three
individual coatings products developed to
provide industrial-level protection in an
easy-to-use, one-component package. The
three PPG ONE Series products include:
• AMERCOAT ONE coating, a true
single-component epoxy with the
corrosion resistance of a two-com-
ponent epoxy;

•PSX ONE coating, a single-com-
ponent, isocyanate-free acrylic-
siloxane coating that unites the
performance, color and finish qual-
ity of a high-durability urethane
with the easy application of a sin-
gle-component product; and
• SIGMADUR ONE coating, which
delivers the durability, colorfastness
and gloss retention of a traditional
two-component urethane in a one-
component package.

As one-component coatings, PPG ONE Series products eliminate the potlife issues associated with two-component coatings. That means they can be reopened and reused as long as container lids are properly resealed after each application, significantly reducing waste and related costs.

Diane Kappas, PPG vice president, protective and marine coatings, Americas, said that in addition to providing the convenience and cost and time savings of a premixed, one-component coating, PPG ONE Series products deliver performance that equals or exceeds that of conventional two-component products.

“PPG ONE Series coatings use unique curing reactions, and PPG’s formulas make them durable, affordable and easy to apply,” she explained. “With their excellent color and gloss stability and exceptional corrosion resistance, these coatings aren’t just designed for convenience. They also are engineered to offer world-class protection of assets in difficult environments and to provide a wide range of aesthetic options.”

Regency line’s complete paint-and-prim-
er-in-one formulations, which reduce the

The newly reformulated
PPG Pittsburgh Paints Regency
Paint + Primer-In-One prod-
ucts provide premium coverage and
color retention for long-lasting beauty
and durability in three unique formula-
tions – all with low volatile organic com-
pounds (VOCs) and low odor – including
Regency Interior, Regency Exterior and
Regency Interior/Exterior.

Regency Interior offers excellent repellency against common household stains to keep walls, ceilings and trim looking new – making it ideal for withstanding wear and tear in high-traffic areas. Further, its enduring finish provides excellent washability and scrubbability to withstand frequent cleanings. The new interior formula also provides increased uniformity for a more consistent finish.

Regency Exterior provides maximum protection against weathering and outdoor conditions, while maintaining a freshly painted appearance through outstanding color retention and resistance to dirt and dust. Additionally, Regency Exterior is engineered with a specialized urethane technology for strong adhesion to exterior surfaces, resulting in a tough, flexible coating that resists cracking, peeling and flaking. It is ideal for painting exterior surfaces such as wood, brick, masonry, weathered aluminum or vinyl siding.

Regency Interior/Exterior delivers lasting performance in a glossy finish with outstanding adhesion, hardness and scrubbability, and it is ideal for painting trim, cabinets, banisters, doors and molding. The new interior/exterior formula also features higher-volume solids that provide better hiding and coverage than the previous formula.

The PPG Pittsburgh Paints brand is backed by premium tools and support, quality products, expert service, and the industry-leading color platform of PPG THE VOICE OF COLOR program. The brand meets the needs of all segments, from residential repaint to commercial applications.
