PPG Commercial Coatings has introduced Corashield, an environmentally-friendly coating formulated to provide resistance to chipping, cracking and marring of painted or unpainted surfaces from high-impact sand, gravel or other abrasive material.

It’s said to be ideal for use on underbodies, inner wheel wells, fender liners, interior door panels, running boards and other similar applications. As a single-component product, Corashield can be applied by spraying, brushing or rolling onto exposed surfaces and into restricted areas by spray wands.

It’s suitable for application over steel, aluminum, fiberglass and most metal primers, plus it can also be topcoated. As a waterborne, zero-VOC product, it’s also ecologically sound.

Corashield features a high performance-to-price ratio, says PPG, as well as light weight and sag resistance – wet film build of up to 40 mils can be applied without runs or drips
