Plascoat® PPA 742 provides corrosion protection while combining effectively with the aesthetics attributes of Axalta’s Alesta® portfolio.
Axalta has recently announced that it has developed Plascoat® PPA 742, a single-layer thermoplastic primer for a wide range of metallic substrates to maximise corrosion protection. Plascoat PPA 742 can be used in conjunction with an Alesta® topcoat in order to provide anticorrosion performance combined with aesthetics attributes.
Plascoat PPA 742 is easy to apply even on substrates with sharp edges, so it is suitable for several applications such as urban furniture, construction fencing, metallic structures and other metal parts. In addition, the new primer of Axalta ensures intercoat adhesion and stability during the application of the topcoat, as well as durability and reliability over time, with consistently strong results irrespective of thermal mass differentials.
“Our portfolio of solutions responds to the ever-evolving coating requirements of projects around the world. We have honed our thermosetting, thermoplastic, and liquid product technologies over more than 150 years, enabling us to provide exceptional protection no matter how harsh the environment,” has stated Koen Linsen, the director of the Global Segment Strategy General Industrial at Axalta. “Plascoat® PPA 742 offers outstanding robustness, aesthetics and stability founded on industry-leading thermoplastic technology. One of its major strengths lies in its compatibility with the Alesta® range of topcoats, which ensure that it can be used in a whole series of highly demanding architectural and industrial contexts.”
