Markets & Applications

Heavy Duty Equipment



PPG electrocoat is used in the agriculture and construction industry to coat heavy duty equipment and trucks. Our products give OEMs a showroom finish in a wide range of colors and gloss, that can survive the rigors of farming or just mowing the lawn at home. The low cure capabilities of many of our products make them an ideal choice for many temperature sensitive substates and thick castings used in the industry.
