PPG launches new powder coatings with recycled plastic content

New product complements portfolio of sustainability advantaged powder coatings

PPG announced the launch of PPG EnviroLuxe Plus powder coatings, which include up to 18% post-industrial recycled plastic (rPET) and are made without PFAS. This product combines the benefits of post-industrial recycled plastic (rPET) in a formulation that is made without PFAS, providing a versatile solution that meets diverse application needs.

PPG EnviroLuxe Plus powder coatings achieve up to a 30% reduction in carbon footprint compared to standard durable powders, due to the elimination of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fluoropolymer and the use of rPET, without compromising protective performance.

"PPG EnviroLuxe Plus powder coatings not only enhance the durability and aesthetic appeal of products but also reflect our commitment to sustainability,” said Shelley Verdun, PPG business manager, powder coatings, Industrial Coatings. “The advanced technology behind these coatings ensures superior performance, providing long-lasting protection while helping applicators minimize their carbon footprint and supporting their sustainability goals."

These coatings are engineered to enhance a wide range of end-use products, including metal office furniture, outdoor fencing and shelving and racking systems. They are available in a broad selection of standard and custom colors, including metallic options, allowing for aesthetic flexibility without sacrificing performance.
