Coatings for Transformers, Switchgear, Enclosures and Lighting
Durability. Color. Reliability. PPG coatings intersect with life in multiple ways every day, providing color and protection for automobiles, airplanes, appliances, consumer electronics, heavy-duty equipment, food and beverage packaging and more. The same knowledge that we use to protect an offshore oil rig, to beautify a building, or to fight the corrosive effects of saltwater on an ocean freighter is mixed into every coating we produce for electrical equipment manufacturers. From durable products that protect transformers, switchgear and enclosures to the bright whites and colorful coatings that illuminate the latest trends in lighting fixture design, PPG has been a trusted and reliable coatings supplier to the electrical equipment industry for decades. Yet, there’s more to our heritage than longevity. As one of the world’s largest coatings companies, PPG produces an exceptional range of product and customer service solutions, including the most comprehensive selection of UL-1332 DTOV2listed coatings in the industry.
Integrated, single-source solutions PPG is one of the few global coatings companies with expertise in every major coatings technology, from liquid and powder to electrocoat and pretreatment products. That means we can deliver integrated, singlesource solutions for every stage of your coatings process, along with products tailored to your specific substrate, end-use application, production line and customer requirements.
Liquid Coatings
Powder Coatings
Electrocoats
Pretreatment and Engineered Products
When used as part of a premium pretreatment, primer and topcoat system, PPG liquid coatings can offer exceptional corrosion and chemical resistance with excellent sag resistance and strong adhesion. PPG liquid coatings meet virtually any budget and performance requirement.
When you need the ultimate combination of corrosion resistance, weathering performance and operational attributes, PPG powder coatings offer a full line of polyester formulations, including lowcure, ultra-durable, TGIC and TGIC-free products.
PPG electrocoats fill more tanks worldwide than any other supplier. We pioneered the first electrocoat system in the 1960s, and have been credited with many major innovations in the industry since. We are universally recoginized by electrical equipment manufacturers as one of the best electrocoat manufacturers in the world.

Solvent-based SPECTRACRON® coatings encompass primers and topcoats in alkyd-, urethane-, epoxy- and acrylic-based formulations. AQUACRON™ coatings offer the same durable primers and topcoats, but in water-based formulations with ultra-low-VOC and hazardous air pollutant (HAP) content.
ENVIROCRON™ powder coatings provide excellent abrasion resistance and hardness in colorintensive applications. They are available as epoxy, epoxy-polyester hybrid, polyurethane, acrylic, fluoropolymer and metallic special-effect coatings.
POWERCRON® electrocoats provide outstanding edge coverage and recoatability. This industry-leading product line delivers uniform film build, color consistency and UV resistance, along with enhanced corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, high yield rates and applied cost efficiency.
A variety of pretreatment and engineered products are available, including zirconium-based, sludge by-product-reducing ZIRCOBOND® and X-BOND™ pretreatments, and the ULTRAGUARD™ pretreatment series of ironphosphate cleaners and coaters.
PPG understands that great corrosion resistance starts with substrate preparation. That’s why we’re one of the few coating suppliers to offer a full menu of pretreatment and engineered products, giving electrical equipment manufacturers the power to specify a full system of durable coatings from a single source.
Multiple formulations for every technology Each PPG technology offers products in a variety of formulations with differing strengths and price points, many of which work well in tandem with products from the other technologies.
