	    Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)


1.   Financial Statements

The condensed financial statements included herein are unaudited.  In 
the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, 
consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair 
presentation of the financial position of PPG Industries, Inc. and 
subsidiaries (the Company or PPG) at March 31, 1996, and the results of 
their operations and their cash flows for the three months ended March 
31, 1996 and 1995.  These condensed financial statements should be read 
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto 
incorporated by reference in PPG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 
year ended December 31, 1995.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are 
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 
year.


2.   Inventories

Inventories at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 are detailed below.

      Supplies..........................................   114.5       112.5

	 Total..........................................  $779.8      $737.5
</TABLE>

Most domestic and certain foreign inventories are valued using the 
last-in, first-out method.  If the first-in, first-out method had been used, 
inventories would have been $202.1 million and $202.9 million higher at 
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 respectively.


3.   Cash Flow Information

Cash payments for interest were $20.6 million and $15.3 million for 
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Net cash 
payments for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 
1995 were $43.8 million and $22.5 million, respectively.

5.   Environmental Matters

It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies 
when it is probable that a liability exists and the amount of loss can 
be reasonably estimated.  As of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, 
PPG had reserves for environmental contingencies totaling $98 million 
and $100 million, respectively.  Charges against income for 
environmental remediation costs for the three months ended March 31, 
1996 and 1995 were $7 million and $9 million, respectively.  Related 
cash outlays aggregated $9 million and $10 million for the three months 
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Management anticipates that the resolution of the Company's 
environmental contingencies, which will occur over an extended period of 
time, will not result in future annual charges against income that are 
significantly greater than those recorded in 1995.  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 and the outcome of these environmental 
matters will not have a material effect on PPG's financial position or 
liquidity.

			     - 6 -
<PAGE>


In addition to the amounts currently reserved, the Company may be 
subject to loss contingencies related to environmental matters estimated 
at the high end to be as much as $200 million to $400 million.  Such 
aggregate losses are reasonably possible but not currently considered to 
be probable of occurrence.  The Company's environmental contingencies 
are expected to be resolved over a period of 20 years or more.  These 
loss contingencies include significant unresolved issues such as the 
nature and extent of contamination, if any, at sites and the methods 
that may have to be employed should remediation be required.  Although 
insurance may cover a portion of these costs, to the extent they are 
incurred, any potential recovery is not included in this unrecorded 
exposure to future loss.  With respect to certain waste sites, the 
financial condition of any other potentially responsible parties also 
contributes to the uncertainty of estimating PPG's final 
costs.  Although contributors of waste to sites involving other 
potentially responsible parties may face governmental agency assertions 
of joint and several liability, in general, final allocations of costs 
are made based on the relative contributions of wastes to such 
sites.  PPG is generally not a major contributor to such 
sites.  Although the unrecorded exposure to future loss relates to all 
sites, a significant portion of such unrecorded exposure involves three 
operating plant sites and one closed plant site. Two of the sites are in 
the early stages of study, while the remaining two are further into the 
study phase.  All four sites require additional study to assess the 
magnitude of contamination, if any, and the remediation alternatives.

The Company's assessment of the potential impact of these environmental 
contingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, 
ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if 
necessary, of such environmental contingencies.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
	 Condition and Results of Operations

Performance Overview

Sales for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995 were $1.75 billion and $1.74 
billion, respectively.  The benefits of increased volumes in our chemicals 
segment, higher sales prices for our coatings and resins and glass segments, 
and the favorable effects of foreign currency translation were substantially 
offset by a decrease in sales prices for our chemicals segment, the absence of 
sales from our divested European architectural coatings business, and lower 
volumes in our glass segment.  Sales volumes and operating income for our 
North American automotive original coatings and resins and glass segments were 
unfavorably impacted by reduced production at the North American manufacturing 
operations of General Motors caused by a seventeen day strike at two of its 
parts plants during March 1996.

The gross profit percentage decreased to 39.0% from 40.9% in the prior year's 
quarter due to the negative effects of inflation and unfavorable sales mix 
changes which were not fully recovered through slightly higher overall sales 
prices and the benefits from manufacturing efficiencies.

Net income and earnings per share for the first quarter of 1996 were $172.3 
million and $0.90, respectively.  In the first quarter of 1995, net income and 
earnings per share were $219.2 million and $1.06, respectively, which included 
a $24.2 million ($0.12 per share) after-tax gain from the settlement of a 
glass technology dispute with Pilkington plc of England.  Current quarter net 
income was unfavorably impacted by lower other earnings, attributable to gains 
from legal settlements in the prior year's first quarter, the factors that 
contributed to the gross profit percentage decrease described above, and the 
effect of the General Motors strike, partially offset by lower income tax 
expense and decreased other charges.  Lower other charges were due in part to 
a charge for a legal dispute in the prior year's quarter.

Performance of Business Segments

Coatings and resins sales increased to $692 million from $684 million in 1995. 
Operating earnings for the corresponding periods were $115 million and $129 
million, respectively.  Sales increased as a result of higher sales prices in 
most of the segment's major businesses, improved volumes for European and 
Asia/Pacific automotive original and refinish products, the favorable effects 
of foreign currency translation, and sales from several minor 
acquisitions.  The absence of sales from our European architectural coatings 
business divested in the fourth quarter of 1995 and lower North American 
automotive original and refinish volumes substantially offset these 
increases.  Operating income declined due to the negative effects of inflation 
on raw material and overhead costs and unfavorable sales mix changes in our 
automotive original and refinish businesses.  These negative factors were only 
partially offset by higher overall prices and improved manufacturing 
efficiencies.  Operating income in the first quarter of 1995 also included a 
gain from the settlement of an industrial coatings dispute.

				   - 8 -
<PAGE>
Glass sales increased to $666 million in the first quarter of 1996 from $661 
million in the prior year's quarter. Operating income decreased to $103 
million from $155 million in the corresponding 1995 period.  Sales were 
relatively flat as the benefits of increased fiber glass sales prices and 
volumes as well as higher North American automotive replacement glass volumes 
were countered by lower flat glass and automotive original glass volumes and 
sales prices.  Operating income in the first quarter of 1995 included the gain 
from the legal settlement with Pilkington.  Also contributing to the decline 
in operating income were the lower flat glass and automotive original glass 
volumes and sales prices combined with the negative effects of inflation on 
our costs and unfavorable sales mix changes, particularly in our flat and 
automotive replacement glass businesses.  Increased prices for fiber glass 
products, improved manufacturing efficiencies, and higher North American 
automotive replacement glass volumes only slightly offset these negative 
factors.

Chemicals sales decreased to $391 million in the first quarter of 1996 from 
$396 million in the prior year's quarter.  Operating income for the 
corresponding periods were $91 million and $93 million, respectively.  The 
benefit of volume improvements for specialty products, particularly 
Transitions optical lenses and silica products, was more than offset by the 
effect of lower prices and volumes for chlor-alkali products and the absence 
of sales from our sodium chlorate business divested late in the fourth quarter 
of 1995.  Relatively flat operating income was attributable to the factors 
that contributed to the overall sales decline and increased manufacturing 
costs, substantially offset by a charge for a legal dispute which occurred in 
the first quarter of 1995.

Other Factors

The decrease in income tax expense was due to lower pre-tax earnings as the 
effective tax rate for both periods remained constant at 38%.  The increase in 
income taxes payable was principally the result of the timing of estimated tax 
payments in the first quarter of 1996 versus the fourth quarter of 1995.

The increase in short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt 
was principally due to borrowings used to fund our repurchase of PPG common 
stock.

Environmental Matters

It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when it 
is probable that a liability exists and the amount of loss can be reasonably 
estimated.  As of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, PPG had reserves for 
environmental contingencies totaling $98 million and $100 million, 
respectively.  Charges against income for environmental remediation costs for 
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were $7 million and $9 million, 
respectively.  Related cash outlays aggregated $9 million and $10 million for 
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Management anticipates that the resolution of the Company's environmental 
contingencies, which will occur over an extended period of time, will not 
result in future annual charges against income that are significantly greater 
than those recorded in 1995.  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 and the outcome of these 
environmental matters will not have a material effect on PPG's financial 
position or liquidity.

In addition to the amounts currently reserved, the Company may be subject to 
loss contingencies related to environmental matters estimated at the high end 
to be as much as $200 million to $400 million.  Such aggregate losses are 
reasonably possible but not currently considered to be probable of occurrence. 
The Company's environmental contingencies are expected to be resolved over a 
period of 20 years or more.  These loss contingencies include significant

involves three operating plant sites and one closed plant site. Two of the 
sites are in the early stages of study, while the remaining two are further 
into the study phase.  All four sites require additional study to assess the 
magnitude of contamination, if any, and the remediation alternatives.

The Company's assessment of the potential impact of these environmental 
contingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, 
ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if necessary, 
of such environmental contingencies.

Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risk

As a multinational company, PPG manages its transaction exposure to foreign 
currency risk to minimize the volatility of cash flows caused by currency 
fluctuations.  The Company manages its foreign currency transaction exposures 
principally through the purchase of forward and option contracts.  It does not 
manage its exposure to translation gains and losses; however, by borrowing in 
local currencies it reduces such exposure.  The fair value of the forward and 
option contracts purchased and outstanding as of March 31, 1996 and Dec. 31, 
1995, was not material.

<PAGE>

The Company manages its interest rate risk in order to balance its exposure 
between fixed and variable rates while attempting to minimize its interest 
costs.  PPG principally manages its interest rate risk by retiring and issuing 
debt from time to time.  To a limited extent, PPG manages its interest rate 
risk through the purchase of interest rate swaps.  As of March 31, 1996 and 
December 31, 1995, the notional principal amount and fair value of interest 
rate swaps held were not material.

The Company also uses commodity swap contracts to reduce its exposure to 
fluctuations in prices for natural gas.  The fair value of such swap contracts 
purchased and outstanding as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, was not 
material.

PPG's policies do not permit active trading of, or speculation in, derivative 
instruments.

At the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 18, 1996 (the

1.      On the matter of the election of five directors to serve for the terms 
indicated in the proxy statement relating to the Annual Meeting, the vote 
was as follows:

the Participant's Retirement Date.

on such Participant's Retirement Date; or

		(2)     In the case of a Participant who is involuntarily 
retired, on the date which is 6 months and 10 days following such 
Participant's Retirement Date.  Such Participant's benefit 
shall not accrue interest from the Participant's Retirement 
Date through the date the lump-sum benefit is paid.

	(e)     The Administrative Committee shall have full discretion to 
deny a Participant's request to receive a lump sum.  Such decisions by 
the Committee shall be made in a uniform and nondiscriminatory 
manner.

	(f)     See Attachment 1 for special Lump-Sum payments approved by 
the Officers-Directors Compensation Committee.

ARTICLE VII

Forfeiture of Benefits


7.1     In the event a Participant ceases participation under this Plan prior 
to becoming vested in the Qualified Plan, no benefit shall be payable under 
this Plan.

7.2     (a)     Any benefit payable under this Plan to a Participant, Former

Subsidiaries existing as of the date of termination of employment 
or retirement.  

	(b)     All determinations under this Section 7.2 shall be made by 
the Administrative Subcommittee at its sole discretion.  As the 
Administrative Subcommittee finds appropriate, it may suspend 
benefits to such Participant and furnish due notice thereof.  The 
Administrative Subcommittee may thereafter terminate benefits 
under this Plan unless such Participant discontinues the 
competitive activity and affords written notice to the 
Administrative Subcommittee of such discontinuance within ninety

Committee, then the liability will be reinstated.

shall be paid by the Company.

8.2     The administration of this Plan shall be the responsibility of the

decisions of the Administrative Committee shall be conclusive and 
binding for all purposes.  The Administrator will administer this Plan 
at the direction of the Administrative Committee.

8.3     Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as a contract of

Participant's interest under the Plan is alienated pursuant to a

ARTICLE IX

Change in Control


9.1     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, upon a Change in 
Control, as defined in Section 9.2:

	(a)     All Participants shall be deemed to be Vested Participants;

	(b)     Any Participant, including Participants described in paragraph 
(a) of this Section 9.1, shall be eligible to receive the Special 
Short Service Benefit as provided in Section 5.2 if, as of the 
date a Change in Control occurs, he has been so designated by the 
Administrative Committee.

	(c)     Paragraph (c) of Section 5.2 shall be revised in its entirety 
to read:

		(c)     For a Participant who retires on his Early Retirement 
Date, for purposes of computing his benefit, Plan Service shall be 
reduced by the lesser of:

			(1)     One month for each month the Participant's 
Benefit Commencement Date precedes his Normal Retirement Date; 
or

			(2)     36 months.

9.2     For purposes of this Plan, a "Change in Control" shall mean:

	(a)     The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within 
the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of 
beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated 
under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either

		(i)     the then outstanding shares of common stock of the 
Company (the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or

		(ii)    the combined voting power of the then outstanding 
voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the 
election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); 

		provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), 
the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control:

		(i)     any acquisition directly from the Company,

		(ii)    any acquisition by the Company,
<PAGE>
		(iii)   any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or 
related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any 
corporation controlled by the Company, or

		(iv)    any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a 
transaction which complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of 
subsection (c) of this Section 9.2; or

	(b)     Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board 
(the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a 
majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual 
becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, 
or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was 
approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then 
comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such 
individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, 
for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of 
office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election 
contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or 
other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by 
or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

	(c)     Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a 
reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of 
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a "Business 
Combination"), in each case, unless, following such Business 
Combination,

		(i)     all or substantially all of the individuals and 
entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding 
Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting 
Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination 
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of, 
respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock 
and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting 
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of 
directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting 
from such Business Combination (including, without 
limitation, a corporation which as a result of such 
transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of 
the Company's assets either directly or through one or more 
subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their 
ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of 
the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company 
Voting Securities, as the case may be,

		(ii)    no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or 
related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from 
such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or 
indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then 
outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation 
resulting from such Business Combination or the combined 
<PAGE>
voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of 
such corporation except to the extent that such ownership 
existed prior to the Business Combination, and

		(iii)   at least a majority of the members of the board of 
directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination 
were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the 
execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the 
Board, providing for such Business Combination;

	(d)     Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete 
liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

	(e)     A majority of the Board otherwise determines that a Change in 
Control shall have occurred.


9.3     Upon, or in reasonable anticipation of, a Change in Control, an amount 
sufficient to fund the benefits of all Vested Participants, including 
those vested pursuant to Section 9.1, Former Participants, and 
Terminated Vested Participants, including an amount sufficient to fund 
additional benefits anticipated to accrue during the twenty-four (24) 
month period immediately following a Change in Control and including an 
amount sufficient to fund the Active Employees' Pension Surviving Spouse 
Benefit and the survivor annuity payable to the joint annuitant 
designated by any such Participant on his Benefit Commencement Date 
shall be paid immediately by the Company to a Trustee.  Selection of the 
Trustee, the amounts to be paid by the Company and the terms of such 
payment (including such terms as are appropriate to cause such payment, 
if possible, not to be a taxable event) in order to give effect to the 
payment of benefits as provided in Sections 9.4 and 9.5 shall be 
determined by the Vice President, Human Resources, and/or the Vice 
President, Finance.  Notwithstanding such funding, the Company shall be 
obligated to pay such benefits to such Vested Participants, Former 
Participants and Terminated Vested Participants to the extent such 
funding proves to be insufficient.  To the extent such funding proves to 
be more than sufficient, such excess shall revert to the Company.

	Except as regards paragraph (d) of Section 9.2, the Officers-
Directors Compensation Committee shall have the duty and the authority to make 
the determination as to whether a Change in Control has occurred, or is 
reasonably to be anticipated, and, concomitantly, to direct the making 
of the payment contemplated herein.

9.4     The Trustee shall provide for the payment of benefits to Vested 
Participants, Former Participants, Terminated Vested Participants, 
Eligible Spouses and joint annuitants in accordance with the provisions 
of this Plan as in effect on the date of the Change in Control.  Any 
subsequent attempts to suspend or terminate this Plan or to amend this 
Plan in any way which reduces future benefits shall have no effect on 
payments made or to be made by the Trustee.
<PAGE>
9.5     Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan, including without 
limitation, Section 8.4, this Plan may not be:

	(a)     Amended such that future benefits would be reduced; or

	(b)     Suspended; or

	(c)     Terminated;

		(1)     As to the future accrual of benefits, at any time 
	during the twenty-four (24) month period following a Change in Control; 
or

		(2)     As to the payment of benefits, at any time prior 
to the last payment, determined in accordance with the provisions of 
this Plan, to each Vested Participant, Former Participant, 
Terminated Vested Participant, Eligible Spouse and joint 
annuitant.
