PPG Industries' SEM Products Unveils Performance Abrasives Line
Read MoreHide Full Article
PPG Industries Inc. (PPG - Free Report) recently announced that its SEM Products business has launched a full line of performance abrasives aimed at simplifying complex automobile collision repairs while emphasizing technicians' demands.
SEM Performance Abrasives are specifically tailored for each stage of the repair procedure. The product line includes precision grain technology, which is intended to provide rapid cutting, longevity and consistency across a wide range of repairs and substrates.
SEM abrasives offer high durability, great edgewear and an even cutting surface, allowing professionals to accomplish remarkable feather-edging results. Another benefit is the multi-hole design, which enables dustless sanding. This increases the product's longevity while also creating a cleaner work environment, which reduces the need for regular cleanups and improves overall efficiency.
PPG's novel line of SEM Performance Abrasives was created with technicians in mind, giving them the products they need to attain great results while streamlining their repair process.
Shares of PPG have gained 3% over the past year compared with a 4.5% decline of its industry.
