October 8, 2002—PPG Industries has announced a partnership with Chatham College to provide environmentally friendly Pure Performance paint by Pittsburgh Paints to assist in the school’s “green” initiatives.
The plans include use of Pure Performance paint, a low-odor, premium interior latex paint that contains no volatile organic compounds (VOC). The paint will be used to cover all internal surfaces throughout the campus, located in Pittsburgh’s Shadyside section.
Pure Performance paint which has an anti-microbial agent to prevent formation of mold and mildew on paint surfaces, was the first premium paint to earn the independent, environmentally friendly “Green Seal Class A” certification.
PPG recently received the Pennsylvania Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence for “outstanding commitment to environmental stewardship” for Pure Performance paint. The paint provides the traditional features of premium paints, namely durability, hiding, and excellent touch-up, while adding “outstanding environmental characteristics. The paint can be applied in occupied structures, including schools, hospitals, and retail and commercial offices.
