SIGMA SAILADVANCE™ NX

Low friction, self lubricating, ultra linear SPC antifouling based on premium hydrolyzable zinc methacrylate binder composition
  • Designed for ocean going vessel types and operations.
  • Unique ultra linear polishing rate that gives optimal protection in accordance with the specified dry film thickness for the operation and activity.
  • Minimal leach layer build-up results in constant surface activity and consistent biocide release for predictable performance up to 90 months.
  • Low friction properties from lubricating engineered oils suppressing turbulent flow.
  • Extended idle day protection through 2 mechanisms : an ultra-strong tri-biocide package and the release effect of engineered oils (CSP).
  • High volume solids for efficient application.
  • Suitable for application at New Build and Dry Dockings.
  • Based on PPG patented technology.

Product Details
PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCE NX is the latest addition to the PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCE range and represents a significant breakthrough in antifouling technology. Specifically developed to provide maximum hull protection against fouling, PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCE NX also delivers improved power efficiency and CO2 savings, resulting in lower total operational costs and improved compliance with IMO Carbon measures. This ultra-premium antifouling utilizes a combination of PPG's proprietary zinc methacrylate binder and Controlled Surface active Polymer (CSP) technologies to deliver optimal linear polishing that is unaffected by changing seawater temperatures. The unique formulation of the binder together with its highly effective biocide package ensures excellent protection, even when idling for an average of 45 days. The minimal leached layer achieved with this binder allows vessels to benefit from long-term hull protection and improved operating efficiency of up to 90 months. PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCE NX is the culmination of 10 years of intensive product development by PPG’s resin synthesis laboratories and has been proven in lab tests and extensive “real world” conditions on many different types of vessels.
