ENVIRO-PRIME® EPIC
PPG’s innovative, patented metal-free catalyst electrocoat technology with exceptional smoothness, corrosion resistance and thin film pretreatment performance. Available in high and hyper throwpower versions.
ENVIRO-PRIME® EPIC 200
The appearance is excellent, enabling a high throw for a lower outside film build with low consumption of kg solid per vehicle. It is compatible with Compact Process and TFPT, resulting in reduced biocide usage and a lower amount of anolyte to drain.
ENVIRO-PRIME® 200R
This product shares similarities with EPIC 200 as it exhibits a synergistic effect between blocking groups and resin design, allowing for the curing of bodies with more mass while offering enhanced workability properties.
ENVIRO-PRIME® EPIC 300
This product belongs to the EPIC 200 family and offers an expanded bake window, enabling the heating of electric vehicles with more mass while allowing the use of current oven settings, eliminating the need for CapEx and avoiding the necessity to reduce line speed.
ENVIRO-PRIME® 7000
Winner of the Automotive News PACE Award for its ability to reduce exterior film builds while maintaining or increasing inner recess coverage. Features lower operating and material costs as well as smaller environmental footprint. Available in versions for use over thin film pretreatment or zinc phosphate.
POWERCRON® 10X
In the automotive parts and accessories markets, the expanded cure window provides benefits such as faster curing of higher mass automotive frames, resulting in operational savings and reduced biocide usage*. (*Assumes system is properly maintained prior to conversion)
POWERCRON® P6100HE / FrameCoat II
Designed for the automotive parts industry and automotive frames, this product offers high-edge coverage for complex/sharp parts and frames, leading to an improved surface profile compared to competing electrocoats.
POWERCRON® 6000CX
PPG’s high performing black cationic epoxy finish approved for use on automotive parts. Available in an easy to use, single component formulation.
POWERCRON® 6100 HE
A high performing cationic epoxy finish from PPG, formulated to meet the corrosion requirements of the heavy duty truck and many other segments without the use of heavy metals, namely lead and chrome.
