PPG’s Enviro-Prime Epic low-temperature cure electro-coat (e-coat) primer has been named ‘Innovative Coating of the Year’ at the 2026 Ringier Technology Innovation Awards, held recently in Shanghai.<\/p>\n

PPG said the award recognises advancements in the coatings industry that drive progress in performance, sustainability and application efficiency.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The PPG Enviro-Prime Epic e-coat delivers corrosion protection, process efficiency and improved environmental performance for automotive and industrial applications.<\/p>\n

Its lower curing temperatures help reduce energy consumption and CO\u2082 emissions while maintaining strong durability and finish quality.<\/p>\n

It offers a broad operating window and flexibility across substrates and processes, allowing OEMs to improve productivity, reduce resource use and support more efficient, low-carbon manufacturing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe award recognises the performance, sustainability and energy efficiency of PPG Enviro-Prime Epic e-coat and its ability to help customers address evolving manufacturing needs while supporting environmental goals,\u201d said Becky Liu, PPG regional strategic marketing manager, Specialty Products & Services (SPS), Automotive OEM Coatings. \u201cOur goal is to deliver coatings that are not only high-performing, but also sustainably advantaged and future-ready.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
