PPG Deltron® clearcoats for Bodywork

PPG Deltron® clearcoats are among the highest quality clearcoats and are a benchmark in the automotive world. PPG Industries is an American company, a global leader, and a recognized pioneer in the manufacture of automotive paints and coatings, with experience in the formulation of 2K paints and clearcoats since the first half of the 20th century.

PPG, excellence in bodywork clearcoats

PPG bodywork clearcoats are designed for use on cars or motorcycles and offer a level of performance and durability that is unmatched, both for manufacturers on production lines and for repairs outside of facilities.

For the professional applicator responsible for repairs (complete paint jobs or touch-ups on vehicles), these clearcoats are extremely reliable : they allow for optimal application with evident productivity gains.

PPG Clearcoat : a recognized guarantee of quality

The quality of a clearcoat can always be recognized, first and foremost, by its application, as it lays perfectly, is resistant to runs, and is successful in almost all conditions.

The true test of a clearcoat's quality comes over time, not just over several months, but over several years : indeed, many clearcoats lose their level of shine and "sink" after a few years, and only the best clearcoats are capable of maintaining the shine of the first day throughout the years, regardless of temperature conditions (cold and extreme heat).

A quality clearcoat must also be able to withstand friction, scratches, heat, UV rays, and weathering for many years without losing resistance or shine.

Finally, a high-quality clearcoat provides optimal protection for hydro paint and bodywork (against corrosion), while maintaining excellent flexibility, which prevents it from causing breakage or cracking after a few years by becoming harder and more brittle..

A commitment to quality for applicators

PPG clearcoats are also reliable because they are studied, developed, and thoroughly tested to bring progress and improvements to the applicator and the environment.

These productivity gains are achieved through advances in chemistry and clearcoat formulation. The new PPG D8130 and D8177 clearcoats allow for much faster drying and curing, which saves energy for heating and baking clearcoats. Moreover, this also enables smoother operations in workshops, with freed-up space and quicker delivery of repaired vehicles to their owners.

PPG bodywork clearcoats from the DELTRON range comply with European environmental standards and meet VOC levels in ready-to-use form. This is the result of constant research and development efforts to improve automotive topcoats formulas, making them richer in solids content while reducing volatile compounds (evaporable solvents and diluents). These are therefore more productive and less costly clearcoats that reduce our impact on the environment while making the work of professionals easier.
