• 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.

  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 | SIGMADUR 550, SIGMASHIELD 880 | New Sealock, Terneuzen

  New Sealock, Terneuzen

  The Flemish-Dutch Scheldt Commission and the contractor company Sassevaart needed to provide highly robust coating systems for several parts (lock gates and bridges) of a new lock project constructed in a Chinese yard and managed from the Benelux. The color requirements, particularly color stability, during the entire project were very demanding.
