• Case study | SIGMASHIELD 880 XS | Webb Dock, Port of Melbourne, Australia

  Webb Dock, Port of Melbourne, Australia

  The key challenges for this project were achieving greater abrasion resistance and protection and reducing project time. We offered a reliable system, with ultra-high-build film thickness and excellent abrasion resistance, fulfilling the customer's immediate and long-term objectives for the project.

• Case study | SIGMADUR ONE | Multipurpose vessel, Wagenborg Shipping

  Multipurpose vessel, Wagenborg Shipping

  Wagenborg Shipping was looking for a coating system for their L-series vessels. The main requirement was that the system should be easier to apply for onboard staff. PPG proposed the PPG SIGMADUR ONE single-pack finish coat to reduce the coating process complexity and make it easy for the crew to apply the coating and simplify stock control. Since the application of the PPG SIGMADUR ONE system, Wagenborg has seen much improved results in maintaining their vessels.

• Case study | SIGMADUR ONE | Freight passenger carrier, Stena Line

  Freight passenger carrier, Stena Line

  This one finish coat reduced the coating process complexity and made it easy for the crew to apply and simplify stock control. This is an ideal, user-friendly, heavy-duty finish coating to support crew members during onboard maintenance.

• Case study | SIGMASHIELD 880 | ZPMC steel fabrication, China

  ZPMC steel fabrication, China

  The PPG SIGMASHIELD 880 coating was selected because of its ease of application, fast-drying capability and ultimate performance, including excellent corrosion- and seawater resistance.

• Case study | SIGMASHIELD 880 | Thermoelectric plant, China

  Thermoelectric plant, China

  The PPG SIGMASHIELD 880 coating's superior water immersion resistance and abrasion resistance makes it the ideal product to protect both the interior and exterior of the large Changshan water circulating pipes.

• Case study | SIGMASHIELD 880 | Pertamina Refinery Unit IV, Indonesia

  Pertamina Refinery Unit IV, Indonesia

  PPG SIGMASHIELD 880 enhances productivity while protecting jetty. This coating was selected because of its abrasion- and corrosion resistant performance, easy application characteristics and its ability to be rapidly immersed into splash and tidal zones.

• Case study | SIGMASHIELD 880 | Pertamina Refinery Unit V, Indonesia

  Pertamina Refinery Unit V, Indonesia

  The tight spaces and convoluted geometry of the Petramina fender structure required a coating that could be applied with ease and also reduce the time interval to recoating. PPG SIGMASHIELD 880 coating was selected because of its abrasion-, corrosion- and seawater resistance, its faster drying time and its high film thickness in a single coat.

• Case study | SIGMACARE PLUS | Onboard maintenance system, Stena Line

  Onboard maintenance system, Stena Line

  PPG completed a thorough analysis of this customer's requirements before selecting the the PPG 'Hybrid' system to solve fouling issues for these specialist heavy lift vessels. The dry docking had a very short lead time of under 14 days.

• Case study | SIGMASHIELD 880 | Jiangsu Offshore wind farm, China

  Jiangsu Offshore wind farm, China

  This offshore wind farm in Jiangsu, China, partnered with PPG to find a coatings system that delivers ultimate abrasion protection for extreme conditions. The PPG SIGMASHIELD 880 abrasion-resistant epoxy coating delivers ultimate abrasion protection for extended asset lifetime. Our innovative solutions helped Jiangsu Luneng realize the project requirements and achieve completion in a shorter time frame.

• Case study | SIGMACOVER 850 | Padma bridge, Bangladesh

  Padma bridge, Bangladesh

  Our systems enabled us to save project time in order to meet the customer’s tight deadline. The customer benefited from increased efficiency during application despite the structure’s complexity. Our proposal incorporated systems for both the girdle interior and exterior.

• Case study | PSX 700

  Missouri River Bridge, USA

  PPG ensured cost efficiency on a high profile project with excellent gloss retention and abrasion resistance systems. Saffo Contractors were looking for ways to expedite the schedule and still deliver a quality job and knew PPG would have the right solutions. The contractors were particularly impressed with the level of technical support they received at every stage of the project.

• Case study | NOVAGUARD 840

  Poquonock water pollution control facility, USA

  PPG's Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Gas System was used to protect Poquonock Water Pollution Control Facility. The PPG system was used to coat underground bare concrete influent channels that were very rough and had been exposed to H2S gas for some time. The solution was a combination of AMERLOCK^® Sealer, AMERCOAT^® 100A and NOVAGUARD^® 840. This job was completed within a week and the channels were back in service in a reasonable amount of time.

• Case study | SIGMASHIELD 880 | Jiangsu Offshore wind farm, China

  Jiangsu Offshore wind farm, China

  The PPG SIGMASHIELD 880 system provided outstanding application performance and excellent abrasion- and weather resistance. The fast-drying rate enabled it to be handled and transported within a short time to keep up the project schedule.
