PPG Introduces Two-Coat Liquid Coating System

PPG introduces Spectracron Splash two-component liquid coating system for kitchen and bathroom market.

PPG announced the launch of PPG Spectracron Splash, a first-of-its-kind two-component polyurethane system for composite bathtubs and sinks. The liquid coating system provides kitchen and bathroom manufacturers with a high-performance protective topcoat in colors and gloss ranges previously unavailable in the market. The PPG Spectracron Splash system is currently offered worldwide in eight standard colors with customizable options, unlike the white or off-white industry-standard colors previously available. The two-component process includes a basecoat that adds color, strength and durability to the composite substrate, followed by a protective topcoat that seals the base and provides customized gloss levels ranging from matte to high gloss. Maria Lamorey, Commercial Strategy Manager for PPG Industrial Coatings, said, "In terms of durability and aesthetics, this system represents a genuine breakthrough for the kitchen and bathroom market." The PPG Spectracron Splash system meets OEM performance characteristics for wear, abrasion and durability. With its high cleanability, it lasts longer than other finishes, making it a truly differentiated solution in the kitchen and bathroom market. Other key performance features include resistance to staining, water and chemicals. The coating cures at 525 degrees Fahrenheit (274 degrees Celsius) using conventional baking or infrared (IR) methods, creating a robust surface that strengthens the composite substrate and extends product life.
