Learn more about our strongest players when it comes to keeping a clean hull and reducing vessel emissions: PPG SIGMAGLIDE^® 2390 and PPG NEXEON^™ 810.

PPG SIGMAGLIDE^® 2390 biocide-free fouling release

PPG SIGMAGLIDE 2390 is a durable and extremely long-lasting, biocide-free, silicone-based fouling release coating that can help your vessels achieve instant power and emission savings.

• Achieve up to 20% power savings, experience less than 1% speed loss, and enjoy up to 35% GHG emission reductions^*.

PPG SIGMAGLIDE 2390 can make it significantly easier to meet your IMO GHG targets and CII compliance. SIGMAGLIDE 2390 is designed for electrostatic application.

PPG NEXEON^™ 810 copper-free antifouling

PPG NEXEON 810 is our latest premium copper-free antifouling solution with a strong emphasis on sustainability, performance and aesthetics. Building on over 25 years of copper-free development experience, its unique formula integrates photodegradable biocides and can achieve:

• Up to 25% GHG emission savings and supporting 60 days of idle time with minimal speed loss^*

PPG NEXEON 810 is also designed for electrostatic application.

^*Compared to traditional antifoulings. Actual results are dependent on ship type, vessel specific utilization and operation.

Hull coatings designed for electrostatic application

Both our PPG SIGMAGLIDE and PPG NEXEON coatings are specifically designed for electrostatic application, a sustainable spraying method that is increasing in demand by shipowners and shipyards. Thanks to an electrostatic field, the paint droplets are attracted to the surface like a magnet. This not only leads to a uniform and ultra-smooth coating surface, it also reduces overspray leading to a significant decrease in waste.

Electrostatic application reduces the need for masking the vessel and cleaning the dock after application, saving valuable time and costs. That, combined with low VOC emissions of PPG SIGMAGLIDE® 2390 coating, provides a cleaner operation and improved work environment for applicators compared to airless spraying.
