PPG Industries To Unveil Latest Product At SID Display Week
Zacks Investment Research | May 20, 2018 09:35PM ET
PPG Industries Inc. (NYSE:PPG) will showcase a spray-on anti-fingerprint coating at the Society for Information (SID) Display Week 2018 to be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from May 22-24. Along with this, the company will exhibit its full line of advanced transparent and conducive coatings for display glass and plastic substrates.
The new product features a patent-pending alkoxy-silane formula developed exclusively by the company. The proprietary material equips touchscreens with hydrophilic (water-absorbing) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties, which result in greater adhesion for better durability and low water and oil-contact angles for enhanced fingerprint hiding.
The coating offers a more pleasant tactile experience for users of smartphones, tablets and other shared devices and also makes it easier to clean and maintain such products.
Additionally, PPG Industries will highlight its anti-smudge, anti-glare, anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coatings at the event. The company will also exhibit spray-applied coatings for electromagnetic, radio-frequency and electrostatic discharge protection, and lightning-guard coatings.
The company’s shares have declined around 1.4% over a year, compared with roughly 15% gain recorded by its Zacks Investment Research
