Recognition for automotive OEM electrocoat that lowers energy
use, emissions
PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced that it has received an American
Chemistry Council (ACC) 2024 Sustainability Leadership Award, which
recognizes exemplary products, technologies and initiatives that
help advance sustainability.
PPG received the award in the Product Safety, Innovation and
Transparency category for its PPG ENVIROPRIME® EPIC 300
electrocoat, which cures at lower temperatures than previous ecoat
technologies, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions from coatings
application in the automotive original equipment manufacturing
(OEM) process.
“PPG remains focused on providing our automotive customers with
sustainable technologies to assist in meeting their long-term
goals,” said Garry Grant, PPG global product manager, substrate
protection products, Automotive Coatings. “After 60 years in
electrocoat technology leadership, our teams continue to innovate
sustainably advantaged solutions, such as Enviroprime EPIC 300,
which improve environmental impacts.”
Historically, the paint shop is the most energy-intensive area
of automotive OEM facilities. PPG Enviroprime EPIC 300 coating can
be applied to heavy electric vehicle assemblies using less energy
and heat, reducing energy input by 11-13 percent and lowering
greenhouse gas emissions, ultimately contributing to the OEM’s
decarbonization efforts and enabling the production of battery
electric vehicles without significant investment in process or
asset changes
“Sustainability and innovation are intrinsically linked,” said
Peter Votruba-Drzal, PPG vice president-elect, global
sustainability. “PPG Enviroprime EPIC 300 coating is a testament to
our commitment to solving customer needs and aligning our products
and processes with their sustainability ambitions.”
ACC’s Sustainability Leadership Awards honor member companies
for their achievements and contributions to sustainability across
four priority areas: Product Safety, Innovation & Transparency,
Environmental Protection, Circularity, and Social Responsibility
& Community Engagement.
ACC convened a judging panel made up of external sustainability
leaders from academia, nonprofits and the media to review and
select the award winners. The panel used criteria including the
level of innovation, the scope and reach of its impact, and the
extent to which it addresses priorities outlined in ACC’s
Sustainability Principles and the UN Sustainable Development
Goals.
