EDITORIAL PPG Industries PREMIUM COATINGS FOR NOOTEBOOM TRAILERS ONLY PREMIUM PPG COATINGS ARE USED. PPG IS A GLOBAL MANUFACTURER OF COATINGS, OPTICAL PRODUCTS, CHEMICALS, GLASS. THESE COATINGS MEET THE HIGHEST STANDARDS NOOTEBOOM REQUIRES AS REGARDS DURABILITY. PPG works closely together with their distributor Hodij Coatings so they are the total supplier when it comes to coatings and accessories for Nooteboom Trailers. EXTREME PROTECTION Durable top-quality vehicles for abnormal transport that are made with great expertise deserve the best possible coating system. To make sure the vehicle lasts a long time and looks its very best. At Nooteboom the trailers are thermally sprayed (also called hot zinc spraying). That provides the ideal substrate for an anti-corrosion system that consists of a flexible primer and a High Build topcoat. This treatment achieves the best possible protection and gives the vehicle maximum protection against external influences. It is the best longevity insurance for a trailer. FABULOUS COLOURS Of course the colour and sheen are extremely important. A beautifully sprayed vehicle is the showpiece of every transport business. PPG topcoats are available in virtually any colour you want, even metallic shades can be supplied for this kind of vehicle. NEW PAINT SHOP But of course the partners PPG & Hodij Coatings do more than just supply coatings to Nooteboom. Together with various other parties they collaborated to realise an optimal process in the new paint shop. The main focus was on process optimization and of course, on safety too. ■
