Color performance: where beauty meets practicality.

A limitless palette of colors is only the first step in Color Across Surfaces. Color must endure under various conditions, and on a multitude of surfaces. We measure color performance against two factors: durability – or how well the color withstands both natural and unnatural elements – and environmental performance.

PPG’s focus on promoting sustainability and green design has resulted in the development of materials that allow designers to create the most environmentally responsible buildings.

Duranar® SPF Infrared Reflective Coatings
The cooling effects of Duranar SPF coatings help to reduce air conditioning costs and improve the comfort of building occupants – all while offering architects and designers more color options for metal roofing. These aesthetically pleasing multi-coat systems are available in light, medium and dark color palettes, and they are suitable for a wide range of uses. They are also designed to comply with the Energy Star® solar reflectance limits established for steep-slope or low-slope roofing products.

Coraflon® ADS
PPG’s breakthrough field-applied coating, Coraflon® ADS, is ideal for the restoration of weathered architectural metals. Its technology offers unsurpassed color retention and chalk resistance, reducing the cost of ownership over the life of the building by extending the service life and repaint schedules. It is available in a wide range of colors.

Solarban 70XL Glass
Solar contol and visible light transmittance need not be mutually exclusive. Solarban 70XL glass offers an unprecedented combination of both. This revolutionary new Low-E glass has the potential to generate energy savings in commercial buildings where glazing is a major architectural element. And while Solarban 70XL glass is notable for its environmental performance, you’ll also appreciate its design versatility. With its neutral appearance, Solarban 70XL glass can specified to produce a clear aesthetic – or it may be combined, in an insulating glass unit, with tinted glass from the Oceans of Color® by PPG line of spectrally selective tinted glasses.

Oceans of Color® by PPG
The Oceans of Color® by PPG collection of spectrally selective architectural glass significantly reduces the demand on a building’s artificial light and cooling systems. The Oceans of Color palette is engineered to provide the color options architects demand, along with industry-leading rankings for visible light transmittance, reduced infrared transmittance and low solar heat gain coefficient. The collection features four water-inspired tints: aqua-blue Azuria® Glass, aqua-green Caribia® Glass, emerald green Atlantica® Glass, and light green Solexia® Glass. Each has unique solar control and visible light transmittance properties.
