Filter Case Studies

• Case study | SIGMACOVER 380

  Dry bulk carrier, Carisbrooke Shipping

  This PPG coating system demonstrated outstanding protection result for water ballast tanks at long-term inspection. PPG has a long- standing relationship with Carisbrooke Shipping having delivered coatings to the company's new-building vessels constructed in a number of countries.

• Case study | SIGMADUR ONE

  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 | SIGMAPRIME 700

  Bulk carrier, Chandris Hellas

  This high-performance silyl acrylate antifouling system was chosen to keep the ship's hull free from fouling, with the product's silyl-acrylate polymer technology contributing positively to the hydrodynamics of the hull by reducing frictional drag and the amount of fuel consumed.

• Case study | SIGMADUR ONE

  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 | SIGMACARE PLUS

  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 | SIGMAPRIME

  Container ship, Claus-Peter Offen

  Demonstrating excellent protection results after 10 years of service, this coating solution played a crucial factor in extending the service life of these ballast tanks. The applied system had to cope with a wide range of aggressive conditions including wet/dry seawater cycling.

• Case study | SIGMACOVER 850

  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.
