PSX 700 benefits: Factor 2: Significant Cost Savings

PPG's PSX 700 siloxane-epoxy coating delivers dramatic, proven cost savings in many important ways. Use one coat of PSX 700 to replace a conventional three- or more coat system, such as a zinc primer / epoxy / aliphatic polyurethane system. Either way, here's how you save:

  • Less frequent repainting due to greatly extended service life.
  • Lower initial application costs; you have at least one coat less to apply, whether you're replacing a conventional three-coat or four-coat system.
  • Shorter application time (only 1 low-VOC coat to apply) reduces costly plant down time; for OEM products one coat versus 2 or more increases profits through lower product costs.
  • Reduced costs of hazardous waste management; extremely low volatile organic compounds (120 grams/litre VOC) easily satisfies stringent environmental, health and safety requirements; cuts disposal costs (fewer cans to discard).
  • Quick and easy application using airless or conventional spray, brush or roller.
  • Shortens down time; cures down to 0° C; dries to the touch in three hours at 21° C.
