Airbus Qualifies PPG’s Desothane HD 9008 Mica Basecoat-Clearcoat
On July 11, PPG Industries (PPG) announced that its portfolio with Airbus has been extended since Airbus qualified its Desothane HD 9008 mica basecoat-clearcoat. Airbus has been using PPG’s Desoprime CF 7049 primer for quite some time. The new qualifiers consist of a pigment-rich basecoat that provides color with less paint compared to the traditional high-solids coatings. PPG did not disclose the financial terms of the deal.
