PPG Industries to Receive National Environmental Award
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will recognize PPG Industries with a Green Chemistry Challenge Award for its breakthrough discovery in lead-free anti-corrosion coatings for the automotive industry.
EPA's awards -- five will be presented June 25 at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington -- recognize outstanding accomplishments in research, development and implementation of technologies that reduce pollution. An independent panel selected by the American Chemical Society chooses recipients.
PPG will be cited in the designing safer chemicals category for primers that provide automakers with substantial environmental and energy cost benefits. Automakers' acceptance of PPG's new lead-free product, the first to outperform leaded coatings in corrosion protection, will eliminate about 1 million pounds of lead from primers on an annual basis.
