Teslin

Teslin is a polyolefin [1]. As it stands, the article implies that it's a silica.

Surely the environmental record can't be all good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.48.71 (talk) 10:33, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trivex Should Be Mentioned

There should be some mention of PPG's Trivex as it replaced polycarbonate in fighter jet canopies, not to mentioned makes a better glasses lens.173.180.7.3 (talk) 11:54, 10 December 2013 (UTC)BeeCier[reply]

advert tag

This didn't read like any advert I've ever seen. Either someone edited it and forgot to remove the tag, or the tagger has an anti-business bias and wants all companies described in negative terms - ? Chrismorey (talk) 23:08, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There definitely should be more discussion about lawsuits against the company. Its not exactly hard to find news about them violating various laws 140.251.36.60 (talk) 16:14, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Add financial performance

Greetings Wikipedians! This article lacks any mention of the company's financial performance. I will endeavor to add a brief section on this topic, which is surely relevant given that a) PPG is a Fortune 500, NYSE- listed corporation, and b) there is a section on the company's environmental record.

Sale of architectural business

I think once the sale of the consumer brands is completed, it might be helpful to split all of that info into a separate article, especially if the new company retains the PPG name. Turbotann (talk) 01:01, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
