PPG leading green coatings company

According to the survey, a follow-up to a benchmark study completed by PPG in 2003, 34 percent of the respondents named PPG as the green leader among manufacturers of exterior fluoropolymer coatings. That was 12 percent more than the nearest competitor. The survey also showed that awareness of PPG in the exterior fluoropolymer coatings market has more than quadrupled since 2003, going from 10 percent to 44 percent. With those gains, PPG remained the most recognized name among exterior coatings manufacturers, outpacing its closest competitors by 7 percent, 17 percent and 37 percent, respectively. PPG was also identified as one of the industry’s most preferred coatings manufacturers.

PPG’s Duranar coatings were identified by architects as one of the two best-known individual brands, as well as one of the most preferred products.

The study also reaffirmed the growing importance of the Internet as a design and research tool for architects. A full 85 percent of the architects said that manufacturer Web sites were their favorite source of product information, followed by technical binders and manufacturer sales representatives.
