Chrysler chooses AQUABASE Plus paint by PPG for national training center
Written by PPG
Chrysler Corp. announced it has installed a system using Aquabase Plus waterborne paint by PPG Industries’ (NYSE: PPG) automotive refinish business in its Auburn Hills, Mich., National Technical Training Center.
Making a change from using traditional solvent-based coatings is part of Chrysler’s commitment to using environmentally-responsible products and procedures. This move to using waterborne paint brings the training center into conformance with other Chrysler facilities, such as the majority of assembly plants, which already use PPG waterborne coatings.
