PPG announced that it will invest more than $10 million (€9 million) to expand production of automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) coatings at its site in Weingarten, Germany.
The total number of vehicles built on the world’s assembly lines in 2020 and 2021 was significantly lower than the years before, which put a sharper point on the popularity of certain color spaces in the BASF Color Report 2021 for Automotive OEM Coatings, while knocking some perennial favorites down a few points.
Sustainable low-Mw and high-Mw polymers can be made without generating any waste during polymer synthesis, using reactive solvents and water as a reaction media.
PPG recently announced appointments within its Automotive OEM (original equipment manufacturer) Coatings and Industrial Coatings businesses, effective Dec. 1, 2021.
