PPG SIGMA
SAILADVANCE
™
RX and GX
Advanced
low-friction,
self-lubricating
antifoulings
We created PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCE RX AND GX especially to save energy and lower total
operational costs. On contact with water these coatings create a slippery surface that resists
the settlement of shell and weed fouling during idle periods and also reduces hull friction when
the ship is sailing. This is thanks to PPG’s patented self-polishing binder technology built on
Controlled Surface active Polymers.
• Extends possible idle time up to 30 days
• Low friction results in fuel savings averaging 5%
• Suitable for all vessel types and operating speeds
• Particularly suited to slow steaming ships
• Can be applied at new build and dry dock
• Ensures predictable performance for up to 90 months.
