Key Takeaways
PPG launched Selemix 7-140 topcoat for heavy industrial uses across the EMEA region.
PPG said the coating resists UV, chemicals, abrasion and salt spray in harsh conditions.
PPG noted the system can achieve C5M certification for high corrosion protection.
PPG Industries (PPG - Free Report) has launched the new PPG Selemix 7-140 2K acrylic high-solids topcoat, expanding its industrial coatings portfolio to address rising demand for durable, high-performance finishes across heavy industrial applications in the EMEA region.
The new topcoat is designed for agricultural equipment, construction machinery, commercial vehicles and industrial components exposed to harsh operating conditions. PPG said the topcoat delivers excellent resistance to humidity, UV exposure, chemicals, abrasion and salt spray while maintaining a smooth, high-gloss finish.
