PPG announces new line of performance abrasive under SEM Products

Sept. 30, 2024
The line is aimed at reducing the complexity of collision repairs and was designed with technicians in mind.

PPG announced that its SEM Products business launched a new product line of performance abrasives aimed at simplifying collision repairs and meeting the needs of technicians. 

SEM Performance Abrasives feature precision grain technology, which the company says provides fast cutting, longevity, and consistency across a variety of applications. The abrasives provide good edgewear and an even cutting surface for easier feather-edging. 

The new product line also utilizes a multi-hole design engineered for dust-free sanding, extending the abrasives' lifespans and resulting in a cleaner environment than traditional abrasives.

“Our innovative line of SEM Performance Abrasives was developed with the technician in mind, providing them with the products they need to achieve exceptional results while streamlining their repair process,” said Meghan Barrera, PPG business director, allied products, Automotive Refinish. “This will help body shops to be as efficient as possible, which is critical in today’s refinishing market.”
