The results of the implementation at Stellantis’ LCV plants were
presented jointly by Franck Lepetit, PPG product engineer,
Automotive OEM Coatings, and Sophie Carpentier, Stellantis sealants
technical leader at the Strategies in Car Body Painting conference,
hosted by the Automotive Circle in Berlin last month. The speakers
said the process is an important contributor to meeting their
respective companies’ sustainability targets.
Automotive OEM paint shops have traditionally used a curing
process comprising a sealer oven, primer oven, and topcoat oven.
The PPG B1:B2™ process, also known as the 3-Wet system, reduced
that to just the sealer oven and topcoat oven. With the latest PPG
Coraseal 4-Wet Sealer, only the topcoat oven is required. The
system is compatible with most waterborne and solventborne
systems.
“Transitioning to the PPG Coraseal 4-Wet Sealer offers several
sustainability and performance benefits to OEMs,” said Thierry
Destruhaut, PPG sustainability business partner, Automotive OEM
Coatings. “When compared to the 3-Wet system, it can lead to a
reduced environmental impact, reducing energy consumption by nearly
8%, cutting CO₂ emissions by nearly 5%* and enhancing productivity.
Additionally, the need for fewer curing steps also simplifies
maintenance processes and reduces costs.”
