PPG Industries’ Automotive Refinish Business has introduced DC4125 CeramiClear mar- and scratch-resistant clearcoat for the Deltron family of refinish products. According to the company, this extremely durable clear creates a glasslike, extremely hard surface for superior gloss retention and resistance to car wash and polish scratches.
The company introduced an OEM version of CeramiClear clearcoat in 2003 for Mercedes-Benz. The refinish version of CeramiClear clearcoat, D8126 for use with the Global Refinish System, was released the following year and won the Gold award at the International Grands Prix for Technical Innovation in Europe in 2005, recognizing expertise and technical excellence in the vehicle equipment sector.
“Both versions of the refinish CeramiClear clearcoat, DC4125 and D8126, perform to the same standards as the OEM finish. Both are unparalleled in scratch, mar and acid-etch resistance and retention of gloss,” said Randy Cremeans, manager, collision segments, North America, for PPG Automotive Refinish. “PPG’s technical team in Allison Park, Pennsylvania, specifically developed tougher durability tests for OEM CeramiClear, because no automotive coating had achieved this level of mar resistance before.”
DC4125 is designated for use with PPG’s DBC and DBU Refinish Systems, and it is designed for the repair of cars that have a CeramiClear OE finish. A high-solids clear, it reportedly meets all current VOC limits and is suitable for use in Southern California Districts. It is formulated for use with DCH4126 CeramiClear Hardener.
