New York Skyscraper Finished With PPG CORAFLON Textured Powder Coatings
PITTSBURGH – PPG announced that PPG CORAFLON® powder coatings were used on 55 Hudson Yards in New York City, making it one of the first skyscrapers in the United States to be finished with powder coatings.
The 51-story structure is a landmark in the Hudson Yards development, which is the country’s largest-ever private real estate development. Kohn Pederson Fox Associates designed the building to incorporate smooth and textured PPG Coraflon coatings on its metal curtainwall and window frames in the color Black Flower. The architectural firm selected the color, which was custom formulated by PPG, to mimic the classic cast-iron facades of neighboring SoHo and commemorate the industrial heritage of the building’s Meatpacking District setting.
