PPG recently launched a new PPG SIGMAGLIDE 2390 marine coatings can help shipping companies reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, and meet the requirements for higher performance without adversely affecting the marine environment.
It is reported that the new product is a PPG-based A biocide-free foul-release coating with HYDRORRESET technology that modifies the coating when submerged in water to create an ultra-smooth, virtually friction-free surface that makes it impossible for marine life to recognize and cling.
According to PPG, according to the third party in accordance with the ISO Verified by 19030 and International Towed Tank Conference (ITTC) standards, compared with traditional anti-fouling coatings, the new coating can keep the ship's hull clean and reduce drag, achieving power savings of up to 20% and speed loss of less than 1 % and up to 35% CO2 emission reduction, its actual performance will depend on the specific ship type and operating environment.
PPG said Sigmaglide 2390 coatings can help shipowners and ship operators achieve the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets required by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for energy efficiency (EEXI and EEDI) and carbon intensity (CII).
Jan Willem, President, Global Platform for Marine Coatings, PPG Tegelaar pointed out, “Our new coating is a unique formulation that paves the way for ship owners and operators to increase efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Its less than 1% speed loss performance helps ships Operations can increase speed by an average of one knot while maintaining CII compliance."
It is worth mentioning that PPG Sigmaglide The fouling control properties of the 2390 coating are achieved without releasing biocide into the ocean, the coating is also suitable for electrostatic application and provides high transfer efficiency, resulting in reduced paint consumption. In use, the new coating provides up to 150 days of idle performance, extending service life by more than 10 years with minimal maintenance requirements. These advantages, combined with energy savings, will provide ship owners with an industry-leading return on investment.
