Chrysler LLC gives global approval to PPG waterborne refinish systems
STRONGSVILLE, Ohio – Chrysler LLC has approved the PPG Envirobase High Performance and Nexa Autocolor AquabaseÒ Plus waterborne basecoat systems from PPG Automotive Refinish for all of its repair facilities globally. All products in the EnvirobaseÒ and AquabaseÒ waterborne basecoat systems are included in the approval, Chrysler LLC’s PF-10537 Exterior Paint Refinish Material/Process Certification for Warranty Repair Paint Performance. These PPG waterborne systems join PPG’s Deltron, Global and Nexa Autocolor brands as Chrysler-approved PPG refinish systems. “By following Chrysler guidelines, repair facility technicians can be assured of a quality finish,” says Chrysler LLC’s Dealer Technical Operations Global Services Paint/Body Structures Manager Ron Nomura.. “PPG’s waterborne basecoat systems meet all the stringent requirements Chrysler LLC demands for its vehicle refinish repairs.” PPG and Nexa Autocolor waterborne basecoat systems are being used successfully by thousands of collision centers across Europe, where they have transitioned to stringent VOC regulations. PPG says the company was the innovator of the world’s first commercially-viable waterborne refinish basecoat back in 1992. AquabaseÒ for OEM applications won the Queen’s Award in the UK in 1990, and in 1995 for Refinish Technology. The Queen’s Awards are the UK’s most prestigious awards for business performance, recognizing outstanding achievement. In 2002, PPG EnvirobaseÒ technology won the UK’s Institute of Transport Management Excellence award for best innovation.
