PPG New Chrome Free Primers

As environmental regulations move to reduce the use of chrome 6, alternatives for corrosion protection will be needed by the aerospace industry. PPG is committed to providing our customers with eco-friendly products that protect the aircraft from corrosion and the environment from chromium.


Desothane® HD Basecoat / Clearcoat

More than 500 aircraft are flying with PPG DESOTHANE® HD Basecoat / Clearcoat exterior paint system.

At PPG, we understand how color plays an important role in the aerospace industry.  Colors connect you with your passengers, and your vibrant liveries distinguish you from another airline while promoting and representing your brand.  We developed our DESOTHANE® HD/Basecoat Clearcoat exterior topcoat systems to give airlines the long lasting, high gloss, and color rich finishes airlines use to create exciting and beautiful liveries.  Since introducing our Desothane HD/Basecoat Clearcoat exterior topcoat, more than 500 commercial and business aircraft have been painted using this system.
