PPG introduces new high-performance antifouling marine coatings

PPG Industries' Industrial Protection and Marine Coatings division has launched the SIGMA SYLADVANCE?700 high-performance antifouling coating
designed for medium- to high-speed vessels.

Following the success of SIGMA SYLADVANCE800 advanced antifouling coating, this launch is the "entry-level" product
of the range.
SIGMA SYLADVANCE700 coatings feature patented technology of methylsilane acrylate polymers for self-polishing and excellent antifouling properties
.
The stain-free nature of the binder allows the coating to consistently maintain excellent antifouling properties and significantly reduce the traction resistance
of ships through anti-interference, precise linear polishing.

Sijmen Visser, Global Marketing Manager, Marine Coatings, PPG, said, "SIGMA SYLADVANCE700 products can be applied to dockyard maintenance and repair projects
.
Thanks to its accurately predictable polishing rate, we are able to tailor solutions to each vessel's actual situation and sailing route, ensuring stable performance for up to 60 months, giving owners and operators peace of mind
