The biocide-free fouling release coating is based on
revolutionary PPG HYDRORESET™ technology, which modifies the
coating when it is immersed in water to create a super-smooth,
almost friction-free surface that marine organisms do not recognize
and cannot adhere to.
Based on third-party evidence following ISO 19030 and ITTC*
standards, this coating enables vessels to maintain a clean hull
and reduce drag, achieving power savings of up to 20%, a speed loss
performance of less than 1%, and up to 35% reduction in CO2
emissions in comparison to traditional antifouling coatings. Actual
performance will depend on ship model and operating conditions.
PPG Sigmaglide 2390 coating can help owners and operators to
meet targets for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions under the
International Maritime Organization’s energy efficiency (EEXI and
EEDI) and carbon intensity (CII) requirements, which went into
effect this year.
“PPG Sigmaglide 2390 coating is a unique formulation that paves
the way for ship owners and operators to improve efficiency and
reduce CO2 emissions,” said Jan Willem Tegelaar, PPG global
platform director, Marine Coatings. “The speed loss performance of
less than 1% helps ships operate at an average one knot higher
speed while remaining CII compliant.”
The exceptional fouling control performance of PPG Sigmaglide
2390 coating is achieved with no release of biocides into the
oceans.
PPG Sigmaglide 2390 coating is also suitable for electrostatic
application, which provides high transfer efficiency, leading to
lower paint consumption. In service, the coating can deliver up to
150 days of idle performance and an extended lifetime of more than
10 years with minimal maintenance requirements. These benefits,
combined with the power savings, provide an industry-leading return
on investment for shipowners.
