PPG's new ENVIROCRON ™ Extreme Protection Edge coating has gradually been extended to the Asia-Pacific region and entered the Chinese market. This advanced powder coating technology has excellent single-layer edge corrosion resistance and is currently patent pending. This innovative technology is specially designed for the corrosion protection of sharp edges generated during metal processing. It provides edge coating far beyond the conventional single-coat and double-coat powder systems.
PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coatings have made significant technical progress in edge corrosion protection. The corrosion protection of this coating has obvious advantages for the parts of the metal substrate exposed to corrosion conditions. This coating can be applied directly to the metal surface and is completely recyclable, thereby significantly saving materials, manpower, water and electricity costs and construction time.
PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coating does not require the use of primer, and the construction staff does not need to change the existing coating production line or add additional equipment to apply this new product. In addition, since the process of mechanically edging or sandblasting the sharp-edged parts can also be omitted at the same time, a significant saving in use cost is also achieved. In the long run, PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coatings are expected to reduce warranty claims and increase resale value by extending the product life cycle.
"To achieve both edge coating consistency and excellent corrosion resistance in a primerless single-coat system has been a huge challenge for coating manufacturers for many years," said Shelley Verdun, PPG global powder coating product manager. "As the first single-coated product that successfully combines the above characteristics, PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coating provides customers with a series of advantages and standard performance that no other coating on the market can match."
Practical application in the past decades has proved that PPG high-quality polyester powder coating technology has excellent environmental resistance and corrosion resistance. PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection Edge powder coating adds this industry-leading performance to this technology. This new coating product is available in a variety of standard and custom colors, including mica and metallic colors. The construction process can use manual and automatic powder coating systems.
