Three Projects with PPG Coatings Named Among Top Structures of 2016 by SSPC
PPG announced that three projects finished with PPG protective and marine coatings products were recognized by the Society of Protective Coatings (SSPC) at its annual Structure Awards ceremony, during the SSPC Annual Conference and Exhibition in Tampa, Florida.
Restoration of the Coney Island Cyclone roller coaster in Luna Park, Brooklyn, New York, received the George Campbell Award, which honors difficult or complex industrial or commercial coatings projects. Working with Baynum Painting, a Newport, Kentucky-based painting contractor, PPG supplied 700 gallons of AMERCOAT® 370 epoxy primer and PSX® ONE acrylic-siloxane topcoat for the roller coaster’s structural steel components, and SEAL GRIP® primer and PITT-TECH® Plus topcoat for its wood surfaces. Built in 1927, and now an official New York City historical landmark, the roller coaster was restored to its classic glossy white finish over a 12-week period ending in November 2015.
