New resource explores how material selection can help improve efficiency and sustainability across data center operations

The restoration of historic vessels like the SS Rotterdam demonstrates how high-performance coatings can balance heritage preservation with modern performance requirements.

Proven across more than 275 vessels, electrostatic coating application is helping shipowners achieve greater efficiency from drydock to open sea.

PPG was recognized in the Design of Safer Chemicals category for PPG SIGMAGLIDE® 2390 coating, a biocide-free, silicone-based fouling release technology that helps vessel owners and operators improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions and avoid the release of antifoulants into marine environments.

PPG SIGMAGLIDE® 2390 and advanced application technologies are helping drive the next generation of vessel efficiency and sustainability.

From advanced antifouling technologies to digital analytics, marine coatings are helping the shipping industry navigate a more sustainable future.

In today's fast-paced infrastructure market, coatings can have a direct impact on project timelines, risk management and long-term asset performance.

High-performance tank linings are helping European storage operators reduce downtime, extend inspection intervals and safely adapt existing infrastructure for more aggressive biofuel storage conditions.

Floating offshore wind is expanding clean energy by tapping deep-water resources and using coatings to boost durability and lower costs.

As offshore wind expands into harsher environments, high-performance epoxy coatings are delivering the durability needed to reduce costly maintenance.

Electrostatic application technology improves marine coating transfer efficiency, reducing overspray and environmental impact.

Global fire testing standards like UL 263 are helping Middle East stadium projects deliver safer, more durable performance as regional sports infrastructure rapidly expands.

Protective materials used in data centers must meet high expectations for durability, safety, and sustainability. Coatings play a role in enabling modular construction, contributing to fire safety. 

At Data Center World, PPG presented end-to-end coating solutions designed to protect critical assets and support reliable data center operations.
