Coatings cured in seconds: PPG adds France line to cut energy use

PPG has installed an advanced testing line for radiation-curable coatings at its R&D Center of Excellence in Marly, France. This investment allows PPG to replicate customer production conditions, accelerating development cycles for coatings that cure in seconds and significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions compared to traditional thermal curing. The technology also eliminates volatile organic compound emissions, offering both sustainability and productivity benefits.
