PPG Industries Inc. (Pittsburgh, Pa.) updated its range of DuraPrep™ surface solutions to include a full line of paint- and coatings-related products for use in protective, marine, architectural, automotive, industrial, and other markets.

The product line includes paint and coatings removers, degreasers and cleaners, and decal, graffiti, mastic, and overspray removers, many of which are water-based products.
 
The company created the DuraPrep surface solutions line as a group of substrate-preparation products that complements the company’s paint products for a range of industries. The product line includes water-based formulations that can aid compliance with tightening environmental regulations, said Shirley Stern, PPG product manager for DuraPrep surface solutions.

The products also can serve as alternatives to mechanical-removal methods such as grinding, sanding, or torches that can damage substrates and surface profiles and create dangerous airborne particulates, the company says.

The products are designed for use by commercial and industrial contractors; property and facility managers; and automotive-repair facilities. They are appropriate for use on a range of substrates, removing paint while having no effect on substrates such as glass or most rubber or plastic components.
