PPG Green

Today, "green" is the color of choice for many architects, builders and business owners. But building green can mean many different things. At PPG, we've developed EcoLogical Building Solutions, an exclusive collection of select green building products designed specifically to help you construct greener buildings.

Architectural Glass

For green building projects, the ideal architectural glass is one that allows the greatest amount of natural light to enter a building while limiting, to the furthest extent possible, the thermal effects of infrared energy and solar heat gain. More than 70 years ago, PPG was the first company to produce a spectrally selective glass. Today, PPG IdeaScapes China offers two of the industry's most popular sustainable products: Sungate^® 100 and Solarban^® 60 Solar Control low-e Glasses. Learn More.

Paints

Indoor air quality is one of the primary areas of focus for green building projects, making decorative paint products that reduce or eliminate the emission of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) a key component of any green structure. PPG's Master's Mark^® paints offer designers a complete line of interior and exterior low-VOC coatings. Since 2002 when PPG received the Green Seal Class A Certificate by launching Pure Performance®, a true zero-VOC paint, architects and painting contractors no longer have to choose between a paint that stands up to the wear and tear of everyday life and one that meets strict environmental codes.

High Performance Metal Coatings

Every green building project needs to include exterior coatings that help to protect and sustain the building's façade. Since 1967, PPG has provided millions of gallons of Duranar^® coatings to some of the world's most famous buildings in some of the world's harshest climates, making it the industry's most trusted and specified brand of exterior fluoropolymer coating.
