2009 CSR Update | 4 Products and Innovation

In 2009, 26.4 percent of PPG’s sales were from “green” products – products that PPG believes have positive energy or environmental attributes. This is up more than 2 percentage points from the previous year when it was 24 percent. This occurred despite the fact that overall sales decreased more than 22 percent from 2008 to 2009. Also in the year, PPG introduced 65 new products expected to generate global sales of more than $3.6 billion in their first 60 months. Of these new products, 38 were expressly formulated to promote environmental sustainability by reducing energy consumption, volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and water use. These “green” products alone are anticipated to generate just under $3 billion in sales before 2015.

Transportation RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT Last year, PPG launched an array of products to reduce the EXPENDITURES energy requirements of the world’s boats, cars and airplanes. (millions of dollars) In the marine shipping industry, the company launched 07 363 Sigma Syladvance™ 800 coatings, a self-polishing paint that 08 468 smoothes the hulls of container vessels as they sail, cutting drag and dramatically reducing fuel consumption, on average 09 403 saving 3.75 tons of fuel per ship, per day. In the automobile industry, PPG debuted Agilon™ 400 performance silica for tires and two high-performance waterborne coatings called Envirobase® waterborne basecoat and Selemix® Clean Energy Aqua coatings that diminish emissions. The PPG’s long history with fiber glass and thin-film coatings for tire additive, made from precipitated silica, glass makes it a prominent player in wind and solar energy reduces rolling resistance by 30 percent development. In 2009, PPG launched a thin-film coating system and improves a vehicle’s fuel efficiency by for wind turbine blades designed to reduce blade weight and 6 percent.
