Description
Self-polishing antifouling for coastal and regional traders
Did you know
- The PPG Sigma Sailadvance RX was launched as part of the broader Sigma Sailadvance series in July 2015. This series was developed with the goal of reducing energy consumption and lowering total operational costs for vessels.
- The Sigma Sailadvance RX is a high-performance antifouling coating within PPG's Sigma Sailadvance range, positioned alongside models like the GX, MX, DX, and the more recent NX. It is designed for all vessel types and speeds, and is particularly effective for slow steaming operations.
- This model is chosen for its low friction, self-lubricating, and linear self-polishing properties, which are based on Controlled Surface active Polymers (CSPs). These features contribute to an average of 5% fuel savings and extended idle time tolerance, averaging 25 to 30 days.
| Model | Volume Solids | Idle Time Tolerance (average) | Max Performance Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sigma Sailadvance RX | 54 ± 2% | 25 days | 90 months |
| Sigma Sailadvance GX | 59 ± 2% | 30 days | 90 months |
