Finishing solutions target aluminum extrusions and architectural applications
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 3, 2025 – PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced that it will showcase its advanced industrial
finishing solutions at GlassBuild America, highlighting coatings
engineered for exceptional weather resistance, design versatility and long-term durability for windows, doors and
other architectural metal components. The event will be held Nov. 4-6 in Orlando, Fla. at the Orange County
Convention Center.
Visitors to the PPG stand (South-29036) can meet with experienced architectural specification professionals to learn
about PPG CORAFLON®
Platinum powder extrusion coatings and PPG DURANAR®
liquid coil and extrusion coatings. These products meet FGIA/AAMA* 2605 performance standards for windows, aluminum
extrusions and architectural metal applications, including curtain walls, storefronts and entrances. PPG
representatives will be on hand to discuss the company’s portfolio, which includes solutions for all
performance specifications and building applications, including field-applied touch-ups and repairs.
PPG recently advanced the capabilities of its FEVE (fluoroethylene vinyl ether) technology with the introduction of
PPG Coraflon Platinum powder coating, a next-generation solution for architectural extrusions. Designed to
deliver exceptional application efficiency, enhanced corrosion resistance in a single coat, and an expansive gloss
spectrum ranging from matte to high shine (5–85), it also enables designers to replicate the aesthetics of
anodized finishes and the tactile appeal of natural materials such as stone, terracotta and cement.
Independent
testing released in 2025, conducted under recognized industry standards*, found that PPG Coraflon
Platinum maintained its color integrity with only a 6% fade over five years, outperforming comparable products by a
factor of 20.
“Our high-performance coatings are formulated to provide formidable protection and long-lasting finishes, even
in the harshest environments. But what truly sets us apart is the trust we’ve earned from architects,
designers and builders worldwide,” said Leah Hemminger, PPG sales manager, extrusion products, Industrial
Coatings. “They rely on PPG not only for metal protection, but also for our technical expertise and design
insight that elevates every project.”
For projects that demand FGIA/AAMA 2605 performance in liquid formulations, the company’s flagship PPG
Duranar liquid coil and extrusion coatings set the standard for metal protection. The coatings brought
color stability and exceptional durability to architectural metal as one of the industry’s first PVDF-based
(polyvinylidene fluoride) systems.
PPG Duranar liquid coatings are available in an extensive library on-trend colors, including solids, micas
and metallics, with options that feature advanced IR-reflective pigments that reflect solar heat and color-shifting
pigments. This versatility gives builders and architects the freedom to design projects that stand out for their
dynamic aesthetics, energy efficiency and resilience. PPG Duranar coatings are featured on high profile
projects including the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Lyrik Back
Bay in Boston, Thirty75 Tech in
Santa Clara, Calif., and Hudson Yard
in New York City.
