    Amsterdam, The Netherlands, September 16, 2021-PPG (NYSE: PPG) has announced that it has added a new member to its award-winning PPG Sigma Sailadvance antifouling paint family-SIGMA SAILADVANCETM NX antifouling paint, marking PPG Another major breakthrough in antifouling coating technology


    PPG Sigma Sailadvance NX anti-fouling paint is specially developed for the highest level of hull protection and ship performance.


    As an important research and development result of 10 years of PPG resin synthesis experts, PPG Sigma Sailadvance NX antifouling paint can achieve true linear polishing and minimize the leaching layer, and can protect the hull under various fouling conditions around the world.


    The PPG Sigma Sailadvance NX coating formulated with PPG’s proprietary zinc methacrylate controllable surface active polymer (CSP) resin exhibits excellent performance, with an average speed loss of only 1.


    The binder formula used in the coating can achieve true linear polishing, is not susceptible to changes in seawater temperature, and minimizes the accumulation of leaching layers


    PPG Sigma Sailadvance NX anti-fouling paint contains a set of super-strong biological sterilants, which can target all kinds of dirt growth conditions around the world, including a series of dirt types including bacterial slime, soft dirt and aggressive animal dirt


    "When developing PPG Sigma Sailadvance NX, we hope to use a unique adhesive to overcome the main challenge of anti-fouling technology, to ensure that the biological sterilant can continue to adhere to the surface of the hull and protect the hull from various fouling and environmental impacts.


    PPG's special grade zinc methacrylate CSP resin has a special molecular structure, and its reaction site is twice that of other acrylates, so it can promote chemical hydrolysis


    "This unique technical solution brings unparalleled performance and carbon reduction advantages to our customers," Psomas added.


    Picture description: PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCETM NX antifouling paint can reduce the accumulation of saponification layer as much as possible, so as to ensure that the biological sterilant can continue to be effective during the operation of the ship, and can provide up to 45 days of mooring time protection
