PPG announced the launch of PPG NEXEON™ 810 coating, an innovative copper-free anti-fouling developed with a strong emphasis on vessel performance, emissions reduction and sustainability. Independent tests* confirm that the ultra-smooth surface of PPG Nexeon 810 coating can yield an immediate boost in power of up to 10% and enhance operational efficiency by up to 15% due to improved fouling control performance**.
Using PPG Nexeon 810 coating reduces fuel consumption and significantly lowers greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, enabling a vessel to sustain higher speeds while helping vessel owners and operators remain compliant with the carbon intensity indicator (CII) requirements of the International Maritime Organization. The coating’s unique formula can achieve a total reduction of up to 25% in GHG emissions compared to traditional anti-fouling coatings and supports 60 days of idle time resistance with minimal speed loss.
