PPG’s latest yellow tint base increases hiding

Oct 9, 2013

PPG’s AUE-370YL yellow tint base is intended to provide increased hiding at lower-dry film builds for select industrial colors. The easy-to-use direct-to-metal technology is formulated to provide 30-35 percent better hiding on yellow colors, facilitating faster production throughput since fewer coats are required.

The resin is designed to allow for a high topcoat build using a variety of application equipment, including airless. For more information, go to www.ppgcommercialcoatings.com.
