PPG Industries’ industrial coatings business has introduced ELECTROCOLOR® 3500 coating, an electrodeposition coating (e-coat) designed as a lightly tinted clearcoat for application on metal surfaces of tablets, notebooks, smart phones and other consumer electronic devices.
Bill Barrett, PPG Business Development Manager, consumer electronics, Americas, said the coating is engineered to provide aesthetic and performance benefits to manufacturers. “This new coating gives metal an organic appearance while protecting it from the chemicals, UV exposure and abrasion it will encounter in everyday use.”
