PPG Industries has expanded its industrial coatings lineup with the launch of a new high-performance finish aimed at demanding heavy-duty applications across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The company’s new PPG SELEMIX 7-140 2K acrylic high-solids topcoat is designed to deliver tougher, longer-lasting protection for equipment operating in harsh environments such as agriculture, construction, and industrial manufacturing.
Built for durability and efficiency, the coating combines a high-gloss finish with strong resistance to wear, chemicals, UV exposure, salt spray, and humidity—positioning it as a solution for manufacturers prioritizing long-term asset protection and visual quality.
“PPG Selemix 7-140 high-solids topcoat delivers outstanding durability, high-gloss appearance and excellent application versatility. This makes it ideal for products used in demanding environments such as agricultural equipment, construction machinery and other industrial applications where maximum performance and long-term protection are essential.”
“With this addition to the PPG Selemix portfolio, we are delivering a top-performing, premium topcoat that supports growth in key industrial segments while meeting customer demands,” said Kelly Hess, PPG global light industrial coatings product manager, Automotive Refinish.
“This product reflects our commitment to providing high-quality coating solutions that combine durability, performance and application efficiency.”
The new system is engineered for flexibility on production lines, compatible with conventional spray guns, air-assisted airless systems, and electrostatic spray equipment. It also integrates with PPG Selemix epoxy and polyurethane primers to form a complete industrial coating system.
PPG highlights several key performance benefits, including strong resistance to environmental stressors, smooth application with reduced sagging, and a high-quality finish suited for industrial-grade machinery and equipment.
The coating is certified up to C5M performance under ISO 12944-6 when used as part of a full Selemix system, indicating high corrosion protection in extreme industrial environments.
