PPG Fiber Glass in Aerospace

Due to its lightweight strength, impact resistance and non-flammable properties, PPG fiber glass is used to reinforce aircraft laminates, luggage bins and other composite structures. Newer commercial aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner use lightweight composites. PPG's Aerospace Business is also the world's leading supplier of coatings, sealants, application systems and cockpit transparancies, serving the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and maintenance markets for the commercial, military, regional jet and general aviation industries.
