PPG Industries’ performance glass coatings group offers products that combine chemistry and process knowledge. The products specialize in superior technologies, quality finish and environment-friendly solutions. PPG Industries’ customers can avail the total package of advanced glass coatings solutions through local representatives of the company’s production and research labs.
