DuraNext™ UV/EB Coil Coatings
Unlike traditional coil coating systems that require very high temperatures to drive the curing process, PPG DuraNEXT™ coatings use an electron beam or ultra-violet energy to convert a liquid coating into a fully cured solid finish in seconds, without any significant loss of thickness or weight.

DURANAR® SUNSTORM® Coatings Systems
Duranar Sunstorm coating systems feature the same two-coat application as conventional Duranar solid color coating systems, adding pearlescent mica flake to the color layer to create a dazzling metalescent look — without the need for aluminum flake or a third-layer clear coat.
DURANAR® for Extrusion
Formulated with a proprietary blend of 70% PVDF, acrylic resins and advanced pigment technologies, PPG DURANAR® liquid coatings for aluminum extrusions was one of the first of its kind in the industry and remains one of the most specified architectural metal coatings in the world today.  
DURABRITE® Clear and Transparent Coil Coatings 
Based on high-performance fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) resins, PPG DURABRITE® coating is a direct-to-metal product specially formulated to extend and enrich the beauty of architectural metals by protecting them with a resilient, transparent clearcoat or semi-transparent color coat.
