Steelscape Offers Graffiti-Resistant Duranar, Coraflon Coatings By PPG

Pittsburgh, PA - PPG Industries’ (NYSE:PPG) building products group announces that Steelscape is now offering metallic-coated and pre-painted steel with Duranar® GR (graffiti-resistant) and Coraflon® GR coatings.

Duranar GR and Coraflon GR three-coat systems feature a primer and color coat topped with a graffiti-resistant clearcoat that can be cleaned with Duraprep® Prep 400 graffiti remover by PPG. If the Steelscape steel is spray-painted, graffiti can be eliminated by applying the graffiti remover directly to the stain, allowing it to sit for 10 to 60 seconds, then wiping it with a clean cloth or scrubbing it with a nylon brush. Most stains can be removed in 10 minutes or less.

When applied on either Duranar GR or Coraflon GR clear coatings, Duraprep Prep 400 field-applied graffiti remover also can eradicate paint overspray, pen and marker ink, lipstick, scuff marks, tape residue, bugs, tar and many other substances that mar the appearance of steel building panels.

Duranar GR coatings are available in a variety of low and medium glosses; Coraflon GR coatings are for high-gloss finishes. To learn more or to watch a demonstration video of graffiti-resistant coatings from PPG, visit www.ppgideascapes.com or call 1-888-PPG-IDEA (774- 4332).
