PPG has launched SIGMAGLIDE 1290, a 100% silicone binder fouling release system that utilizes a breakthrough dynamic surface regeneration technology to eliminate slime problems and increase fuel savings.
Through chemical engineering of the 100% pure silicone binder system at a molecular level, PPG has been able to design the optimal configuration for the silicone coating surface. This results in an increased silicone density at the surface to such a degree that slime organisms do not recognize it as a surface substrate and have no chance to settle on it. This significantly extends the effectiveness of the coating.
