PPG Coraflon® Fluorocarbon Powder "Refreshes" New York Skyline - Hudson Yards Hudson Yards Skyscraper

It's no surprise that PPG coatings that protect and beautify the world have become one of New York's most famous landmarks and the paint of choice for Hudson Yards, the city's largest private real estate development

Housed in the iconic buildings that make up the "Big Apple" (a landscape design of a large climbing staircase), Hudson Yards is one of Manhattan's most sought-after real estate projects on 28 acres.

PPG coatings protect many of New York City's precious landmarks, including the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, Freedom Tower, and more.

PPG's metallic coatings play an integral role in the exterior and interior components of at least three towers (six in total)
