Chrysler has approved, for North America, a new line of
low-VOC PPG and Nexa Autocolor(tm) clears, primers and
sealers for use on its vehicles. Each product was subjected
to Chrysler's wide-ranging tests and evaluations to make
sure it could meet the company's quality standards for warranty repairs.
The products have all been developed expressly for use with
PPG's previously approved Envirobase® High Performance or
Nexa Autocolor Aquabase® Plus waterborne basecoats.
Chrysler's approval encompasses PPG's EC700 series of clears,
ECP10 series of primers and ECS20/ECS60 series of sealers.
The Nexa Autocolor series of P190-6759/6790 clears, P565-
314x/212x sealers, and P565-540x primers have also been
approved.
EC700 series and Nexa Autocolor P190-6759/6790 are
characterized as "one-visit clears" which eliminates the need
for long flash times between coats. This feature reduces
cycle times without compromising the quality and appearance
high-production shops require. "We are happy to place these
PPG products on Chrysler's approved list," said Doug Beuke,
PPG product manager.
"We have worked with Chrysler for years and the development
of high-quality, low-VOC coatings that reduce negative
environmental impact is something Chrysler appreciates."
Chrysler also approved PPG's D8113 matte clearcoat. While
other clears use flattening agents to achieve low gloss,
D8113 was specifically created in a matte finish to address
growing OEM trends.
