PPG introduces PPG ENVIROLUXE Plus powder coatings with recycled plastic content

New product complements portfolio of sustainability advantaged powder coatings.

PPG (NYSE: PPG)  announced the launch of PPG ENVIROLUXE™ Plus powder coatings, which include up to 18% post-industrial recycled plastic (rPET) and are made without PFAS*. This product combines the benefits of post-industrial recycled plastic (rPET) in a formulation that is made without PFAS**, providing a versatile solution that meets diverse application needs.

PPG EnviroLuxe Plus powder coatings achieve up to a 30% reduction in carbon footprint compared to standard durable powders, due to the elimination of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fluoropolymer and the use of rPET, without compromising protective performance.

They offer the other sustainability benefits of powder coatings, including excellent transfer efficiency and reclaimable overspray – which minimizes waste – and low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.

"PPG EnviroLuxe Plus powder coatings not only enhance the durability and aesthetic appeal of products but also reflect our commitment to sustainability,” said Shelley Verdun, PPG business manager, powder coatings, Industrial Coatings. “The advanced technology behind these coatings ensures superior performance, providing long-lasting protection while helping applicators minimize their carbon footprint and supporting their sustainability goals."

PPG EnviroLuxe Plus is part of the PPG EnviroLuxe powder coating family, a new suite of coatings designed to combine performance and aesthetics with sustainability benefits, making them a preferred choice for businesses looking to enhance their products while supporting their sustainability goals. The portfolio also includes:

▪PPG EnviroLuxe rPET: Contains up to 18% post-industrial recycled plastic (rPET), with PPG’s proprietary polyester resin incorporating up to 40% post-industrial rPET.

▪PPG EnviroLuxe PFAS NIA**: Improves the sustainability performance of powder coatings with a formulation that is made without PFAS.

These coatings are engineered to enhance a wide range of end-use products, including metal office furniture, outdoor fencing and shelving and racking systems.
