Note on Incorporation by Reference

Throughout this report various information and data are incorporated by
reference to the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders (hereinafter
referred to as "the Annual Report to Shareholders"). Any reference in this
report to disclosures in the Annual Report to Shareholders shall constitute
incorporation by reference only of that specific information and data into this
Form 10-K.


Part I

Item 1. Business

PPG Industries Inc., incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1883, is comprised of three
basic business segments: coatings and resins, glass and chemicals. Within these
business segments, PPG has followed a careful program of directing its resources
of people, capital and technology in selected areas where it enjoys positions of
leadership. Primary areas in which resources have been focused are automotive,
industrial and architectural coatings, flat glass, automotive original and
replacement glass, aircraft transparencies, continuous strand fiber glass, and
industrial and specialty chemicals. Each of the business segments in which PPG
is engaged is highly competitive. However, the broad diversification of product
lines and worldwide markets served tend to minimize the impact of changes in
demand for a particular product line on total sales and earnings. Reference is
made to "Business Segment Information" on pages 26 and 27 of the Annual Report
to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference, for financial
information relating to business segments.

Coatings and Resins

PPG is a major manufacturer of protective and decorative coatings. The coatings
industry is highly competitive and consists of a few large firms with global
presence, and many smaller firms serving local or regional markets. PPG competes
in its primary markets with the world's largest coatings companies, most of
which have operations in North America and Europe. Product development,
innovation, quality and customer service have been stressed by PPG and have been
significant factors in developing an important supplier position.

The industrial portion of the coatings business involves the supply of
protective and decorative finishes for autos, appliances, industrial equipment,
and packaging; factory finished aluminum extrusions and coils for architectural
uses; and other industrial and consumer products. In addition to the supply of
finishes to the automotive original equipment market, PPG supplies automotive
refinishes to the aftermarket which are primarily sold through distributors. In
the industrial portion of the coatings business, PPG sells directly to a variety
of manufacturing companies. Product performance, quality and customer service
are major competitive factors. The industrial coatings are formulated
specifically for the customer's needs and application methods. PPG also
manufactures adhesives and sealants for the auto industry and metal
pretreatments for auto and industrial applications.

The architectural finishes business consists primarily of coatings used by
painting and maintenance contractors and by consumers for decoration and
maintenance. PPG's products are sold through independent distributors, paint
dealers, mass merchandisers and home centers. Price, quality and service are key
competitive factors in the architectural finishes market.

Coatings and resins' principal production facilities are concentrated in North
America and Europe. North American production facilities consist of 13 plants in
the United States, one in Canada and two in Mexico. The three largest facilities
are the Cleveland, OH plant, which primarily produces automotive original
coatings; the Oak Creek, WI plant, which produces automotive original and other
industrial coatings; and the Delaware, OH plant, which primarily produces
automotive refinishes and certain industrial coatings. Outside North America,
PPG operates three plants in Spain; two plants each in France and Italy, and one
plant each in England, Germany and Portugal. These plants produce a variety of
industrial and architectural coatings. PPG owns a 60 percent interest in a sales
operation in Hong Kong, 50 percent interests in operations in South Korea and
Japan, and a minority interest in an operation in Taiwan. Additionally, coatings
and resins operates ten service centers in the United States, two in Canada and
one in Mexico to provide just-in-time delivery and service to selected
automotive assembly plants. Twenty training centers in the United States, five
in Europe, two in Asia and one in Canada are in operation. These centers provide
training for automotive aftermarket refinish customers. Also, four automotive
original application centers that provide testing facilities for customer paint
processes and new products are in operation. The average number of persons
employed by the coatings and resins segment during 1994 was 9,600.

Glass

PPG is one of the major producers of flat glass, fabricated glass and continuous
strand fiber glass in the world. PPG's major markets are automotive original
equipment, automotive replacement, residential and commercial construction,
aircraft transparencies, the furniture, marine and electronics industries and
other markets. Most glass products are sold directly to manufacturing and
construction companies, although in some instances products are sold directly to
independent distributors and through PPG distribution outlets. Fiber glass
products are sold directly to manufacturing companies and independent
distributors. PPG manufactures flat glass by the float process and fiber glass
by the continuous filament process.

The bases for competition are price, quality, technology, cost and customer
service. The Company competes with six other major producers of flat glass, six
other major producers of fabricated glass and two other major producers of fiber
glass throughout the world.

PPG's principal glass production facilities are concentrated in North America
and Europe. Fourteen plants operate in the United States, of which six produce
flat glass, five produce automotive glass, two produce fiber glass products and
one produces aircraft transparencies. There are three plants in Canada, two of
which produce automotive glass and one produces flat glass. Four

1


plants operate in Italy; one manufactures automotive and flat glass, one
produces automotive glass, one produces flat glass, and another produces
aircraft transparencies. Three plants are located in France; one plant
manufactures automotive and flat glass and two plants produce automotive glass.
One plant in England and one plant in the Netherlands produce fiber glass. PPG
owns equity interests in operations in the United States, Canada, France, the
People's Republic of China, Taiwan and Venezuela and a majority interest in a
glass distribution company in Japan. The average number of persons employed by
the glass segment during 1994 was 15,400.

Chemicals

PPG is a major manufacturer of chlor-alkali and specialty chemicals. The primary
chlor-alkali and derivative products are chlorine, caustic soda, vinyl chloride
monomer, chlorinated solvents and chlorinated benzenes. Most of these products
are sold directly to manufacturing companies in the chemical processing, rubber
and plastics, paper, minerals and metals, and water treatment industries. The
primary specialty chemical products are silica based compounds for the tire,
shoe and battery separator businesses; surfactants for food emulsification,
sugar processing and personal care products; CR-39 monomer for optical plastics;
photochromic lens coatings for eyeglasses; and phosgene derivatives for the
pharmaceutical, herbicide and fuel additives businesses.

PPG competes with six other major producers of clor-alkali products. Price,
product availability, product quality and customer service are the key
competitive factors. In the specialty chemicals area, PPG's market share varies
greatly by business; product performance and technical service are the most
critical competitive factors.

PPG's chemical production facilities consist of nine plants in North America,
two plants each in Taiwan and the Peoples Republic of China, and one each in
France, the Netherlands and Ireland. The two largest facilities, located in Lake
Charles, LA and in Natrium, WV, primarily produce chlor-alkali and derivative
products. PPG owns equity interests in one company each in Japan, Thailand and
the United States. The average number of persons employed by the chemicals
segment during 1994 was 4,500.

Business Divested in 1994--Biomedical Systems Division

The Company's Biomedical Systems Division was a manufacturer, supplier and
servicer of integrated medical systems for human health care on a worldwide
basis. Major markets involved cardiopulmonary applications, including cardiac
catheterization, electrocardiographs and related equipment for diagnosis of
cardiovascular diseases, patient monitoring systems and sensors for both vital
signs and respiratory monitoring functions. A large number of competitors
provided products on either a global or regional basis. PPG sold directly to
hospital and clinical customers and through distributor organizations in
selected markets, and distributed selected original equipment products for other
manufacturers.

A decision was made in the fourth quarter of 1993 to divest the Biomedical
Systems Division. The sale of the medical electronics portion of this business
was completed by the end of the third quarter of 1994 and the sale of the
sensors business was completed in January 1995.

Two production facilities in Germany and one in the United States were sold
during 1994. One remaining plant in the United States related to the sensors
business existed at the end of 1994. This plant was sold as part of the sensors
business sale in January 1995. The average number of persons employed by the
Biomedical Systems Division during 1994 was 500.

Raw Materials

The effective management of raw materials is important to PPG's continued
success. The Company's most significant raw materials are sand, soda ash,
energy, polyvinyl butyral, colemanite and boric acid in the glass segment,
titanium dioxide and epoxy resins in the coatings and resins segment, and energy
and ethylene in the chemicals segment. Most of the raw materials used in
production are purchased from outside sources, and the Company has made, and
will continue to make, supply arrangements to meet the planned operating
requirements for the future. For the significant raw material requirements
identified above, and other material, there is more than one source of supply.

Patents

Although PPG considers patent protection to be important from an overall
standpoint, the Company's business segments are not materially dependent upon
any single patent or group of related patents. PPG received $25 million, $25
million and $27 million from royalties and the sale of technical know-how during
the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development costs, including depreciation of research facilities,
during 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $233 million, $218 million and $221 million,
respectively. Research and development facilities are maintained for each
business segment. Each of the facilities conducts research and development
involving new and improved products and processes, and additional process and
product development work is undertaken at many of the Company's manufacturing
plants. PPG owns and operates eight research and development facilities in the
United States and Europe.

Backlog

In general, PPG does not manufacture its products against a backlog of orders;
production and inventory

2


levels are geared primarily to projections of future
demand and the level of incoming orders.

Non-U.S. Operations

Although PPG has a significant investment in non-U.S. operations, based upon the
extent and location of investments, management believes that the risk associated
with its international operations is not significantly greater than domestic
operations.

Employees

The average number of persons employed by PPG during 1994 was 30,800.

Environmental Matters

Like other companies, PPG is subject to the existing and evolving standards
relating to the protection of the environment. Capital expenditures for
environmental control projects were approximately $19 million, $29 million and
$48 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. It is projected that
expenditures for such projects in 1995 will approximate $40 million with similar
amounts of annual expenditures expected in the near future. Although future
capital expenditures are difficult to forecast accurately because of constantly
changing regulatory standards, it can be anticipated that environmental control
standards will become increasingly stringent and costly.

PPG is negotiating with various government agencies concerning 75 National
Priority List ("NPL") and various other cleanup sites. While PPG is not
generally a major contributor of wastes to these sites, each potentially
responsible party or contributor may face agency assertions of joint and several
liability. Generally, however, a final allocation of costs is made based on
relative contributions of wastes to the site. There is a wide range of cost
estimates for cleanup of these sites, due largely to uncertainties as to the
nature and extent of their condition and the methods which may have to be
employed for their remediation. Additionally, remediation projects have been or
may be undertaken at certain of the Company's current and former plant sites.
The Company has established reserves for those sites where it is probable a
liability exists and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of Dec. 31, 1994
and 1993, PPG had environmental reserves totaling $90 million. Charges against
income increasing environmental remediation reserves totaled approximately $30
million in 1994, $23 million in 1993 and $16 million in 1992. Cash outlays
against these reserves were approximately $30 million, $40 million and $58
million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

The Company's experience to date regarding environmental matters leads PPG to
believe that it will have continuing expenditures for compliance with provisions
regulating the protection of the environment and for present and future
remediation efforts at waste and plant sites. However, management anticipates
that such expenditures, which will occur over an extended period of time, will
not result in future annual charges to income that are significantly greater
than those recorded in recent years. It is possible, however, that
technological, regulatory and enforcement developments, the results of
environmental studies and other factors could alter this expectation. In
management's opinion, the Company operates in an environmentally sound manner,
is well positioned, relative to environmental matters, within the industries in
which it operates and the outcome of these environmental matters will not have a
material adverse effect on PPG's financial position or liquidity. To date,
compliance with federal, state and local requirements has not had a material
impact on PPG's financial position, results of operations or liquidity. See
Environmental Matters in Management's Discussion and Analysis for additional
information related to environmental matters.

Item 2. Properties

See "Item 1. Business" for information on PPG's production and fabrication
facilities.

Generally, the Company's plants are suitable and adequate for the purposes for
which they are intended, and overall have sufficient capacity to conduct
business in the upcoming year.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Securities and Exchange Commission regulations require the disclosure of any
environmental legal proceeding in which a governmental authority is a party and
which may reasonably be expected to involve monetary sanctions in excess of
$100,000. In this regard, on November 14, 1991, the Company received a penalty
notice from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) proposing a
penalty of $1,236,000 for alleged violations of hazardous waste regulations
relating to the Company's investigation of groundwater contamination at the
Company's Lake Charles, LA plant. The Company has filed an appeal of the
proposed penalty and negotiations with the DEQ continue.

Separately, the Company has voluntarily entered into an agreement with the EPA
to participate in the EPA's Toxic Substances Control Act Section 8(e) Compliance
Audit Program (the "Program"). Under the Program the Company conducted a
self-audit. On October 28, 1992, the Company submitted the first of two final
reports pursuant to the Program. Based on this submission, the Company would pay
$522,000 in stipulated penalties. To the Company's knowledge, the EPA has not
yet reviewed the report or issued any order as a result of the report. Under the
Program, the EPA has agreed that the combined potential civil penalties for both
final reports of the Company will not exceed $1,000,000.
