Advanced Conductive Paints

The SPRAYLAT™ brand of conductive coatings by PPG is recognized as a global technology leader for
spray-applied electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency (RFI) protection, as well as high-
performance electrostatic discharge (ESD) and lightning guard protection.

For more than 30 years, innovative chemistries developed by Spraylat engineers have been trusted by
OEMs and converters to provide best-in-class conductivity and S.O.S. (Safe-On-Substrate) performance
for diverse applications beyond consumer electronics, including advanced aerospace and automotive
applications, military vehicles and equipment, and architectural coatings and paint. They also are well-
suited to meet newly emerging demands for this type of technology.

In addition to their ability to enhance the technical performance and Product Technology Codes
