XLR®
Our longest lasting liquid product, PPG’s XLR^® is a two-coat waterborne fluoropolymer system offering excellent durable release performance. An easy to handle patented and unique blend of non-stick materials. FDA and FD-EU approval

Matrix®
Made without PFAS compounds, PPG's MATRIX^® waterborne coatings combine high performance with outstanding color capabilities, including light shades that are often unachievable in standard PTFE coatings.

Matrix coatings stand up to high heat with a continuous use temperature of 288°C/550°F degrees; feature a hard, durable non-stick surface that’s been tested to last more than twice as long as comparable sol-gel coatings.
