PPG Advanced Clearcoat Takes Durability, UV Resistance to New Level

The highly protective PPG coating system receives high accolades from Canadian oil and gas transporter.

The commercial transports that traverse our highways are essentially rolling billboards that can reflect a positive or negative corporate image – depending on how well or how poorly they’re maintained. This presents a difficult challenge for many trucking fleets, who face an uphill battle protecting their vehicles’ finish from road salt, deicing chemicals, gravel, and sunlight. A solution that’s gaining momentum across the commercial vehicle spectrum is a relatively new clearcoat offering from PPG Commercial Performance Coatings. PPG AUE-20 OEM 2.1 VOC Clearcoat is formulated to create a protective, high-gloss polyurethane finish with exceptional durability and protection from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays in a one-coat application. “Our customers appreciate how this clearcoat can enhance the long-term durability and appearance of their assets,” said Michael Cooney, PPG product manager, industrial segments, commercial coatings, and automotive refinish. “Painters will appreciate how easy the product is to apply, along with its excellent adhesion, film build, and sag resistance.”
