    It's no surprise that PPG coatings that protect and beautify the world have become one of New York's most famous landmarks and the paint of choice for Hudson Yards, the city's largest private real estate development



    Housed in the iconic buildings that make up the "Big Apple" (a landscape design of a large climbing staircase), Hudson Yards is one of Manhattan's most sought-after real estate projects on 28 acres.


    PPG coatings protect many of New York City's precious landmarks, including the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, Freedom Tower, and more.



    PPG's metallic coatings play an integral role in the exterior and interior components of at least three towers (six in total)



    55 Hudson Yards


    One of the first skyscrapers to be powder-coated



    55 Hudson Yards is probably the most famous of the three landmark buildings that PPG Coating has protected in this grand historic project



    Designed by Kohn Pederson Fox Associates (KPF Architects) and painted by Spectrum Metal Coatings (PPG CAP Certified Authorized Painter), the 51-story building used nearly 20,000 pounds of flat and PPG Coraflon® fluorocarbon powder coating of textured powder



    PPG Coraflon powder coatings are formulated with FEVE resins and offer a satin finish in plain and mica colors, as well as a high gloss finish



    The upcoming Coraflon® Platinum powder in China has a wider gloss range from 5 to 85 (traditional FEVE gloss range from 25 to 70), better corrosion resistance, and higher gloss than standard FEVE powders 20% powder rate
