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 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.
