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.
