Case Study | PPG SIGMASHIELD™ 460 and PPG PHENGUARD™
TB Marine’s ice‑going tankers faced severe abrasion, impact demands and wide‑cargo requirements. These tankers operate in ice-going areas and needed a robust protective coating with excellent abrasion and impact resistance on the bow area. After 21 years, PPG Sigmashield™ 460 and PPG Phenguard™ systems delivered only minor repairs and outstanding durability.
Case Study | PHENGUARD™
The PPG Phenguard™ system applied to d’Amico Group’s M/T High Spirit cargo tanks at new build has now delivered over 12 years of outstanding in‑service performance. Despite continual exposure to aggressive cargoes and high operational demands, the tanks remain in excellent condition.
