On October 20, 2025, PPG Industries announced the launch of its new PPG ENVIROCRON® Extreme Protection Edge Plus powder coating. This patent‑pending, one‑coat innovation builds on the company’s first‑generation high‑edge formulation, minimizing powder retraction and shrinking during curing to ensure more complete coverage and a smoother finish.
Testing indicates the coating outperforms current one‑coat and two‑coat powder systems, significantly reducing the orange‑peel texture common in high‑edge solutions. The product delivers exceptional corrosion protection for hard‑to‑coat sharp edges, angles, and recesses in heavy‑duty equipment, HVAC, electrical, and general industrial applications. It is available in a wide spectrum of standard and custom‑matched colors, including micas and metallics, and is compatible with both manual and automated powder coating systems.
The launch positions PPG to capture demand for durable, high‑performance edge protection in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. By offering a one‑coat solution that eliminates the need for mechanical edge rounding or blasting, the product can reduce labor and material costs for customers. The innovation aligns with PPG’s strategy to enhance its performance coatings portfolio and drive share gains in high‑margin markets.
