Environmental Product Declaration Verification Granted to PPG Sealant Formulas

Expands opportunity for professionals to achieve green building
rating requirements

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced environmental product declaration (EPD)
verification for 15 formulas from the PPG TOP GUN®
architectural sealants product line. PPG Top Gun is one of the
first sealants in North America to publish a building and construction
sealant EPD that is certified by the global public health organization
NSF International.

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a comprehensive,
internationally-harmonized report that documents the ways in which a
product, throughout its lifecycle, affects the environment. EPDs
contribute to the transformation of green building initiatives, such as
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) v4, by enabling
purchasing decisions built on science-based environmental information.
LEED v4 encourages the use of building materials for which life cycle
information is available and that have environmentally, economically,
and socially preferable life cycle impacts.

“At PPG, we know how important it is to develop products that help our
customers achieve environmental certifications,” said Michael
Provenzano, PPG marketing manager, adhesives and sealants. “PPG is
dedicated to helping professionals in the commercial building industry
reduce their carbon footprint and meet green building rating
requirements such as LEED v4, by offering an environmentally friendly
product portfolio of not only paints and stains, but now 15 sealant
formulas.”

Top Gun sealants are ideal for a variety of interior and exterior
applications on many types of building surfaces. Each Top Gun
product delivers a high level of performance for a wide range of
applications and meets ASTM standards, which are used worldwide to
improve product quality, enhance safety and facilitate trade.
