The shop is said to offer same-day shipping for products purchased before 3 p.m. ET, as well as free standard shipping. Overnight delivery options are also available.
Within the platform’s product library, customers can use a comprehensive set of filtering options that include collections, such as RAL, Pantone and Federal Standard; color; gloss; durability; and finish.

These products include protective coatings that are engineered for heat-sensitive substrates and offer high transfer efficiency and edge coverage.”
In addition to simplifying the powder purchasing process, the new website provides product information, such as technical data and safety data sheets, and insights on the materials and application process used for PPG powder coatings.
