Multipurpose epoxy designed for marine and immersion environments

PPG's Sigmashield™ family of products have been trusted in marine and offshore environments for more than 35 years. PPG Sigmashield™ 880 is a high-solids, polyamine adduct-cured epoxy coating that offers outstanding seawater resistance, excellent corrosion resistance and enhanced impact and abrasion resistance for marine vessels, platforms, jetties and piers.  

PPG Sigmashield™ 880 solution is a surface tolerant coating that can be rapidly immersed and continues to cure after seawater immersion, making it an ideal solution for both maintenance and repair and new construction projects. It delivers high film thickness in one coat to minimize downtime for marine assets.  

Fast-drying, single-coat system

PPG Sigmashield™ 880 coating offers fast dry times for efficient coating and dry dock operations. The single-coat system provides both long-term protection and aesthetic performance in a range of multiple colors. It will tolerate immersion or ponding water exposure 30 minutes after application and continue to cure underwater. It can also cure at temperatures as low as 23°F (-5°C).

Surface tolerant for efficient application

PPG Sigmashield™ 880 solution provides greater application efficiency and enhanced finish quality with its surface tolerant formulation. It is suitable for wet blast or ultra-high pressure water (UHPWW) cleaned substrates in damp or dry conditions. The combination of high build and fast cure enables quick turnaround times for faster return to service. 

Extended service life in marine environments

PPG Sigmashield™ 880 coating exceptional resistance to abrasion and impact prolongs service life and protects assets from sand, floating debris and tidal surges. Its improved cathodic disbondment protection enhances its corrosion and seawater resistance for continuous immersion environments. 

Compliant with international standards

PPG Sigmashield™ 880 epoxy has been extensively tested in internal and external laboratories and has more than a decade of proven performance in the field. It complies with the most rigorous international standards for offshore coatings: 

  • NORSOK M501 Revision 5 System 7 
  • ISO 12944-6 C5M High 
  • ISO 12944-6 Im3 High (including hydrojetted substrate) 

The coating outperforms other industry coating systems in key ASTM and ISO performance tests.
