PPG updates its Break-Through! formula

PPG Paints has released an updated version of its Break-Through! low-VOC paint.

The interior and exterior waterborne acrylic paint is known for its adhesion, hardness and block resistance to a variety of surfaces such as floors, trim, cabinets, railings, shelving and equipment, as well as metal, wood, concrete, fiber glass, laminate and many plastics. It also dries to a smooth, brush-free finish that withstands cracking and peeling.

Now, it comes with slightly higher viscosity, improved sag resistance, improved flow and leveling, a quicker drying time of 17 to 20 minutes to touch, and slightly more "open time," or the time the paint is wet enough for a brush to move through it.

“The Break-Through! product is a unique coating, and we’re excited to provide professional specifiers, managers and applicators with this industry-leading low-VOC product technology that offers a solution to various project-, facilities-, time- and substrate-related challenges,” said John Salvadore, senior marketing manager, PPG Paints brand.
