ENVIROCRON® Coatings

PPG's flagship powder coating brand is available in a wide variety of tough finishes and specialty formulations, including high transfer efficiency and single-coat applications.

ENVIROCRON® HTE (High Transfer Efficiency) Coatings

Engineered for ease of application, durability and performance on complex metal parts and surfaces, Envirocron^® HTE coatings have faster application build-rates than traditional coatings on components with recessed cavities, tubular shapes and other intricate, difficult-to-coat wheel surfaces.

ENVIROCRON® HTE Max Coatings

Designed exclusively to meet the unique requirements of wheel coaters and wheel refurbishers, Envirocron^®HTE Max polyester coatings represent a revolutionary step forward in protection for large truck wheels. Offering the same great transfer efficiencies as Envirocron^® HTE Max coatings offer up to three times the corrosion resistance of traditional single-coat powders, but without the higher labor costs and longer process time associated with more durable primer/topcoat systems.

ONECHOICE® SXA330 Wax and Grease Remover

PPG has developed an affordable solution for fast wheel refurbishments, with consistent quality, and without the use of a paint booth. OneChoice^® Wax and Grease Remover is used to clean the wheel surface after you abrade the wheel surface to remove corrosion and scuff the rest of the wheel using a SCOTCH-BRITE^™ pad.
