Penske Racing’s #2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger, driven by Kurt Busch in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, was painted with the Envirobaseâ High Performance waterborne basecoat system from PPG at the Penske Racing facility bodyshop in Mooresville, North Carolina.

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio – September 4, 2007 – PPG Automotive Refinish has introduced DC4125 CeramiClear® Mar and Scratch Resistant Clearcoat designed for the Deltron® family of refinish products. This extremely durable clear creates a glass-like, extremely hard surface for superior gloss retention and resistance to car wash and polish scratches. 

PPG introduced its OEM CeramiClear® in 2003, initially designed for Mercedes-Benz. PPG’s refinish CleramiClear, D8126 for use with the Global Refinish System, was put on the market the following year and won the Gold award at the International Grands Prix for Technical Innovation in Europe in 2005, an award recognizing expertise and technical excellence in the vehicle equipment sector for the past 20 years.

“Both versions of PPG’s refinish CeramiClear, DC4125 and D8126, perform to the same standards as the OEM finish. Both are unparalleled in scratch, mar and acid-etch resistance and retention of gloss,” said Randy Cremeans, manager, collision segments, North America for PPG Automotive Refinish.  “PPG’s technical team in Allison Park, Pennsylvania specifically developed tougher durability tests for our OEM CeramiClear, since no automotive coating had achieved this level of mar resistance before.”

DC4125 is designated for use with PPG’s DBC and DBU Refinish Systems, and is designed for the repair of cars that have a PPG CeramiClear OE finish. A high solids clear, it meets all current VOC limits and is suitable for use in Southern California Districts. DC4125 is formulated for use with DCH4126 CeramiClear Hardener.  For more information, contact your local PPG Distributor, or the PPG Customer Focus Center at 440/572-2800, or go to www.ppgrefinish.com.
