  "account": "PPG has unveiled its new PPG ONE RANGE™ portfolio consisting of five one-component marine coatings at the SMM 2026 maritime industry trade show in Hamburg, Germany. The innovative line is designed to streamline onboard maintenance procedures, making them more efficient for crews. Ewout Bosman, the segment director for Protective and Marine Coatings at PPG, explained that while coating maintenance is crucial for preserving vessel lifecycles, it often proves cumbersome for crews juggling operational duties. The PPG ONE RANGE™ portfolio addresses this issue by eliminating the need for mixing and simplifying application processes. This means less preparation, storage, and handling, as well as reduced waste. The portfolio covers various maintenance needs, including both exterior and interior applications, with waterborne, alkyd, and polyurethane technologies. These products also comply with low volatile organic compound (VOC) standards and have low flame spread certifications. Furthermore, PPG unveiled a new application tool, the PPG POWERPACK™, at SMM, which is a portable, battery-powered system designed to enhance application efficiency. This device allows crews to switch between roller and brush application methods using a single unit, thereby reducing equipment changes and boosting productivity. The PPG One Range portfolio and PPG PowerPack tool will be on display at SMM Hamburg, from September 1-4, in Hall B, stand 419.",
