PPG report looks at liquid
vs. powder
PPG Industries’ industrial
coatings business has published a new
paper comparing the environmental,
economical and performance advantages
associated with the application of liquid
and powder coatings on architectural
aluminum.
The eight-page technical document
reviews historical factors that have
made liquid coatings the prevailing
choice of North American architects and
powder coatings the preferred option in
Europe. It also examines environmental
advantages associated with powder
coatings and the design and customcolor
benefi ts of liquid coatings. The
paper notes that differences between the
two types of coatings may be narrowing,
offering architects and building owners
a wider range of design and technology
choices.
