The same PPG technology that's used for protecting cars and mobile devices is now being applied to indoor paint, as seen with the launch of the PPG UltraLast paint + primer. The paint product sets itself apart as the first of its kind to feature PPG CLEAN SURFACE TECHNOLOGY, which extends scratch-resistant and easy-to-clean features to indoor surfaces.
As part of its research, PPG found that consumers are looking for resilient paint products that allow them to wash off everyday scuffs, and also offer protection against future stains. Thanks to its unique properties, the paint product is ideal for heavily trafficked private and public spaces like kitchens, playrooms, restaurants, retail spaces and more.
