STRONGSVILLE, OHIO August 28, 2006 Europe’s number one selling waterborne basecoat system will soon be available in California. This fall, PPG will launch Aquabase® Plus, a stand-alone waterborne basecoat mixing system that delivers high performance and flexibility.

According to Doug Beuke, compliant segment manager for PPG North America, “Aquabase Plus is as easy to use as solventborne systems, requires no special additives, features a complete range of non-stir toners, and is very simple to blend. This new system offers superior color accuracy through the application of a final light coat, providing for consistent color and metallic control across a variety of different application techniques.”

“Excellent color matching is delivered to solid color, metallic, and two and three stage pearl and xirallic colors, making Aquabase Plus the perfect profitable solution for repairing today’s OEM finishes, “ he continues.

“Fully compliant with all current and impending VOC legislation, Aquabase Plus gives bodyshops an easy route to conversion,” Beuke adds. “Aquabase Plus is part of PPG’s leading edge compliant product system which is fully supported by a comprehensive range of cross referenced color tools and state-of-the-art training.”

For more information on Aquabase Plus or any of PPG’s product offerings, visit the PPG booth at NACE, W1429.
