Description
PPG ENVIROCRON® GRO ultradurable polyester powder coatings are specifically engineered to stand up to the corrosive conditions often found in hydroponic and vertical growing facilities. These facilities rely on precise and continuous amounts of both ultraviolet exposure and nutrient-rich water to accelerate plant growth, which can make it difficult to protect the racking, shelving and housing of materials
