Industries

Infrastructure

From stadiums and arenas to airports and advanced manufacturing facilities, PPG’s high-performance coatings deliver unmatched protection against fire, corrosion, water and extreme conditions. 

Oil, gas and chemical

Proven fire protection and high-temperature resistant coatings withstand the hazardous operating conditions of the oil, gas and chemical processing industries. 

Power

Protect power installations—wind, nuclear, and hydroelectric—with advanced coatings that guard against UV, pollutants, water and exposure, ensuring long-term, reliable performance.

Mining

Our advanced coating systems protect mining facilities and equipment used in surface mining, underground mining, dredging and in-situ mining.

Rail

Corrosion resistance, waterproofing and fast dry times support rail industry operations for rail cars, tank linings and bridge decks.

Water and wastewater

Effective barrier protection reduces maintenance for water storage tanks, treatment facilities, potable water, storm sewers and wastewater transmission pipelines. 

Bridges

In harsh atmospheric exposure conditions, high-profile bridge structures require corrosion and abrasion resistance with outstanding gloss and color retention.
