PPG Launches One Range Marine Coatings to Simplify Vessel Maintenance

PPG (NYSE: PPG) announced Monday the launch of its PPG One Range portfolio, a new line of one-component marine coatings designed to simplify onboard vessel maintenance and improve application efficiency.

Introduced at the SMM 2026 maritime trade fair in Hamburg, the portfolio consists of five ready-to-use coatings that eliminate mixing requirements. PPG said the products can reduce preparation time, simplify storage and handling, and minimize coating waste for ship crews performing routine maintenance.

The portfolio includes waterborne, alkyd and polyurethane technologies for interior and exterior applications. Certain technologies also support low volatile organic compound requirements and low flame-spread certification.

PPG is also previewing its PowerPack application tool, a portable battery-powered system designed for use with the One Range coatings. The system allows crews to switch between roller and brush applications using a single unit, potentially reducing equipment changes and improving productivity.

The launch expands PPG’s offering in the protective and marine coatings market, where reducing vessel downtime and maintenance costs can be important considerations for fleet operators. By combining simpler coatings with a dedicated application system, PPG is targeting more efficient onboard maintenance while strengthening its position in specialized industrial coatings.
PPG Industries announced the launch of its PPG NUTRISHIELD® MAX PPG7590, the first PVC-NI (polyvinyl chloride non-intent) single-component interior coating in the U.S. for aluminum pet food cans.

The new solution is designed for aluminum draw-redraw (DRD) cans and easy-open ends used in wet pet food packaging. Its single-component, ready-to-use formulation eliminates the need for mixing and multiple coating systems, helping manufacturers streamline operations, reduce downtime, and lower material waste.

PPG highlighted that the coating is formulated without PVC, PFAS, BPA, and other bisphenols, aligning with evolving regulatory and sustainability requirements. It also delivers strong performance characteristics, including stain resistance across various pet food types and protection of product integrity, supporting shelf life and reducing food waste.

The company stated that the innovation improves manufacturing efficiency while maintaining high visual quality with a clean white interior finish. The product has already received approvals from major pet food brands and can manufacturers and will be showcased at the METPACK 2026 in Essen.

PPG (NYSE:PPG) declared a regular quarterly dividend of 71 cents per share, payable June 12 to shareholders of record May 11.
PPG announced a global price increase of up to 20% across its paints, coatings, and specialty products portfolio, citing rising input costs.

The company said recent volatility in petrochemical, energy, and transportation markets has driven higher expenses for raw materials, logistics, and packaging. The price adjustments are being implemented on a customer-by-customer basis, depending on existing contracts and regional conditions.

PPG noted that some product categories and regions may see even higher increases if needed to offset cost inflation, with the possibility of further adjustments if market pressures persist.

The company emphasized that the move is aimed at ensuring supply continuity and maintaining service levels, as it navigates ongoing cost challenges across its global operations.

PPG launches analytics platform to optimize marine coatings procurement

March 24, 2026 — PPG has introduced PPG InsightsNav, a new analytics platform designed to help shipowners and operators improve cost control and planning for marine coatings purchases.

The tool provides visibility into spending trends and identifies cost-saving opportunities by analyzing seastock coatings data in a standardized and user-friendly format. It also supports forecasting and budgeting through predictive insights based on historical data.

PPG said the platform enables marine operators to optimize procurement strategies, including better port selection and order consolidation, while offering real-time dashboards accessible globally.

The company highlighted that the solution addresses a common industry challenge of fragmented data, helping users make more informed decisions to enhance operational efficiency and long-term cost management.

PPG announced the launch of its PPG Aquacron WSP waterborne shop primer series for structural steel, designed to combine rapid curing, smooth finishing, and low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. The new primers form a water-resistant layer that protects steel components such as beams, joists, and framing from flash rust and corrosion while reducing the need for sandblasting or extensive surface preparation before applying top coats.

The technology cures in about two minutes under standard heat—much faster than conventional waterborne primers that typically require 12–24 hours—allowing steel fabricators to increase production throughput and lower labor and processing costs. The formulation also performs consistently across different climates and humidity conditions, helping manufacturers comply with strict emissions regulations while simplifying coating specifications.

PPG said the product aligns with its strategy to develop “sustainably advantaged” coatings that improve environmental performance while maintaining durability and operational efficiency.
