PPG has announced that three of its innovative coatings technologies have earned 2021 R&D 100 Awards, conducted by R&D 100 Awards Committee and R&D World magazine honor the 100 most innovative technologies and services of the past year.

PPG’s qualifying technnologeis inclued its PPG BFP-SE Battery Fire Protection, PPG ENVIROCRON Extreme Protection thermally conductive powder coatings, and PPG HI-TEMP 1027 HD coating.

PPG BFP-SE Battery Fire Protection is an innovative coating that protects batteries in electric vehicles from fire and helps mitigate thermal runaway events, improving passenger safety. The company says these solutions can be mass-produced, efficiently applied and include battery fire protection suitable for various vehicle battery applications.

PPG Envirocron Extreme Protection thermally conductive powder coatings combine dielectric protection and thermal conductivity in a single multifunctional coating for electric vehicle battery packs. PPG’s proprietary platform enhances cooling efficiency and provides exceptional electrical insulation, mitigating arcing and shorting events to improve battery performance and passenger safety.

PPG HI-TEMP 1027 HD is the company’s next-generation ambient-cure, high-temperature corrosion under insulation (CUI) coating, which is designed for new construction projects. It has good hardness and corrosion resistance, even during severe cyclic temperatures from -196°C (-320°F) to 540°C (1000°F). The coating’s resistance to the wear and corrosion that can occur on pipes, vessels and construction parts helps prevent damage and the resulting need for touch-up work, saving time and money.
