PPG Introduces PPG ERGOLUXE Coatings for Metal Office Furniture

PPG announces launch of PPG ERGOLUXE™ powder coatings for metal office furniture. The new coatings, featuring a unique polyester-hybrid technology, offer shaping and sustainability advantages over traditional liquid or solvent-based coatings for seating solutions, tables, cabinets and more. In addition to consistent gloss, color consistency and durability, PPG ErgoLuxe powder coatings deliver waste savings of up to 85%, offering first-pass transfer efficiency and the ability to recover and reuse overspray. The coatings are also available in ErgoLuxe Eco, a unique formulation containing up to 13% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET). Since 2017, PPG has used more than 6 million pounds of rPET to manufacture its coatings. PPG ErgoLuxe powder coatings deliver reliable consistency from batch to batch and are available in a wide range of solid bonded metals, ultra-smooth surfaces and multi-color textures with XMR technology for scratch resistance. Formulations meeting SEFA 8.1 requirements are also available. Shelley Verdun, Operations Manager for PPG's powder and industrial coatings business, said, "Every office space has unique design and style challenges. PPG ErgoLuxe coatings are engineered to overcome these challenges by providing powerful and durable powder coatings even for the most modern office solutions."
