PPG begins digital schooling program of the PPG Aerospace Academy

SYLMAR, California – (BUSINESS WIRE) – PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced the launch of the PPG Aerospace Academy Online, a virtual training program that provides users of the company’s aerospace products with on-demand access to online learning modules and resources.

Nine coating-related courses are available now and cover a range of topics from the basics of surface preparation and priming to cutting edge technologies such as basecoat / clearcoat systems and PPG AEROCRON ™ electrodeposition primer. PPG plans to expand its offering to include segments of its sealants, adhesives and packaging for the aerospace industry.

The new, virtual training resources are an extension of PPG’s ongoing personal PPG Aerospace Academy and allow greater flexibility and access to the company’s longstanding industry knowledge and technical know-how.

First-hand access to industry-leading resources is now just a few clicks away. ”
