As one of the world's largest coatings companies, PPG helps to protect thousands of items that we use every day, including bicycles made by some of the leading OEMs in the industry.
But our transportation solutions for the global bike market go far beyond the surface of the frame.
Developing coatings that make bikes more durable, long-lasting and striking with protective color finishes is just the beginning. Our experts also partner with bike makers to streamline their paint application process and to keep customers safer on the roadways with a new PPG coatings breakthrough.
High-Performance Protection
Bicycles take a beating so the coatings that protect them must be built for the long haul and withstand everything from harsh elements to on- and off-road wear and tear.
PPG offers a complete portfolio of liquid and powder coatings for every layer including primers, basecoats, topcoats and clearcoats.
New Coating Innovation Heightens Rider Safety
PPG recently launched a patent-pending retroreflective powder coating called PPG ENVIROCRON ® LUM powder.
According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration , the risk of fatalities at nighttime when light is limited or lacking is up to three times higher than daytime.
In a major safety advancement, PPG recently unveiled a powder coating that makes bikes more visible at night by redirecting maximum light from headlights back to the driver.
PPG Envirocron LUM coating is a proprietary technology first developed for a ride-sharing company for use on their e-bikes.
