18. Transparent Color and Clear Coatings for Decorative Applications 

Speaker: Mark Follet, PPG Industries 

Recently, new electrodeposited clear coatings have been developed to meet the needs of decorative, automotive, aluminum extrusion and electronics markets. These coatings can be tinted with dyes, traditional pigments and specialty pigments to provide a substantial range of colors and effects, and new pigments can allow for effects and finishes that were previously only achievable with powder or liquid spray coatings. With these new options, finishing professionals in a range of markets can now consider e-coat a viable cost-saving technology.
