PPG, Steelscape announce marketing alliance

PPG Industries, Pittsburgh, and Steelscape, Kalama, Wash.,will jointly market Dazzle colorful metallic coverings for walls, ceilings and other interior surfaces and accessories, according to a July 30 release.

The new line of Dazzle coverings featuresTruform tinted clear coatings by PPG applied to galvanized TruZinc panels by Steelscape. The products are available in 16 distinct color options encompassing eight tinted clear coats and two gloss levels. The clear coat appearance ofTruform tinted coatings enables Dazzle coverings to join the natural spangle of TruZinc products with a vivid color palette.

Suggested applications for Dazzle coverings include column covers, wall panels, decorative ceilings, heating and cooling equipment and walk-in coolers. The product also provides a colorful alternative to white boards because it resists dry-erase and permanent markers.

Dazzle coverings are resistant to fingerprints, stains, graffiti, scratches and marring. For building owners, this durability means less maintenance along with the ability to add color without the disruption of painting. It also is lighter and less expensive than other materials.
