PPG Opens Architectural Paints and Coatings Color Automation Laboratory
MILAN — PPG has opened a new architectural paint and coatings color automation laboratory in Milan, Italy. The $2.1 million (€2 million) facility will reportedly increase the speed of developing paint color formulations.
The facility will provide up to 100,000 paint color matches annually, providing master paint color formulations for new colors and existing colors when they are reformulated. The laboratory’s automated system dispenses colorants and base paint samples, mixes them, applies them and measures them, without manual inputs.
