Protection against wear and radiation damage in the rapid expansion of nuclear energy generation

Durability and reliability across generations of reactor technology

For more than 50 years, PPG coatings have been used in nuclear reactors worldwide. Our coatings are engineered to withstand nuclear containment environments, offering exceptional resistance to chemical impact and radiation while maintaining integrity during loss-of-primary-coolant accidents and decontamination. We also have a full range of protective coatings for areas outside of the nuclear containment structure, including floors, walls and ceilings. 

Total solutions provider for nuclear power plants

We deliver proven coatings systems that maintain the functionality and operational reliability of all areas of nuclear reactors and containment structures. Our coatings offer radiation tolerance, corrosion protection and compatibility with decontamination procedures. 

PPG's coating systems are approved for use in these three main nuclear power plant areas:

  • Level 1 - reactor containment
  • Level 2 - nuclear island outside the reactor containment
  • Level 3 - conventional area
