Advancing shipyard efficiency while elevating vessel performance and sustainability
The maritime industry is central to the global economy, transporting goods and people to ports in rivers, seas and oceans around the world. While shipping demand continues to grow, shipowners, operators and yards are facing turbulent economic conditions and evolving regulations.
The global focus on sustainability is driving shipyards and applicators to reconsider traditional coating processes. Electrostatic application emerges as a key solution, helping improve efficiency and reduce waste and material consumption.
Key topics in the white paper include
Electrostatic application is known for delivering a consistent, uniform finish across a variety of industries.
For marine vessels, this method offers a more controlled, precise way to apply hull coatings than traditional airless spraying. The application method provides a high transfer efficiency and produces an exceptionally smooth finish.
PPG, a pioneer of electrostatic application in the automotive and aerospace industries for more than 70 years, introduced the technology to the marine industry in 2023.
This white paper explores the evolution of electrostatic application of marine coatings and how it can contribute to a more sustainable shipping industry.
