PPG has announced the launch of its 2.1 Low VOC Matte and Semi-Gloss Clearcoats for use with the Envirobase high-performance basecoat system in the United States and Canada.

Mixing formulas are available before topcoating in five gloss levels: flat, matte, eggshell, satin, and semigloss. Easy to prep and apply, the system features a simple 3:1:1 mix ratio and requires no Flexibilizer for plastic substrates.
