Marly is a key R&D development hub within PPG’s global network, driving product innovation and technical support for customers in the automotive, general industrial, coil, extrusion and specialty product sectors. The company also carries out research on radiation-curable technologies at its Coatings Innovation Center (CIC) near Pittsburgh, and at several regional labs across the U.S., Europe, Australia and China. These facilities feature stand-alone UV and EB curing units or fully integrated UV/EB lines to help customers develop, test and validate energy curable coatings to reduce energy use and improve production efficiency.
Radiation-curable coatings are increasingly gaining traction due to their ability to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and improve curing efficiency. By investing in advanced testing equipment, the company seeks to meet growing customer demands for environmentally conscious and durable solutions.
