PPG’s chassis black topcoat

Mar 1, 2018

PPG’s EST900 DTM Chassis Black Topcoat, part of the company’s DelFleet Essential brand, is based on advanced technological polyurethane formulations for enhanced metal protection. The direct-to-metal 2.8 VOC chassis topcoat does not require a primer coat; it can be applied directly over sanded cold-rolled or blasted hot-rolled steel surfaces. It is designed to provide excellent adhesion characteristics and withstand abrasive chemicals and corrosive solutions, including road salt, grease and oil.
