PPG Industries Inc. (PPG - Free Report) has launched PPG NEXEON 810, a novel copper-free antifouling coating designed with a strong emphasis on vessel performance, emission reduction and sustainability. Independent testing demonstrates that the ultrasmooth surface of the PPG Nexeon 810 coating can provide an immediate gain in power of up to 10% while increasing operational efficiency by up to 15% due to superior fouling control capabilities.
Using PPG Nexeon 810 coating reduces fuel consumption and significantly lowers greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, allowing a vessel to maintain higher speeds while assisting vessel owners and operators in meeting the International Maritime Organization's carbon intensity indicator requirements. The coating's unique formula can reduce GHG emissions by up to 25% compared to typical antifouling coatings, and it provides 60 days of idle time resistance with minimum speed loss.
The unique binder technology ensures that the coating has controlled and predictable solubility, ensuring high performance throughout the vessel's operational life. PPG Nexeon 810 coating is also ideal for electrostatic applications and provides excellent color retention over the vessel's entire service life.
PPG Nexeon 810 coatings offer the ideal blend of innovative coatings technology, better vessel performance and responsible environmental protection. The copper-free technique in PPG Nexeon 810 coating has a much lower biocide concentration. Its unique binder technology allows for the progressive release and operation of the biocides near the surface. Once in the water, the combined effects of sunshine and ocean microbes initiate the breakdown of these organic biocides.
Shares of PPG have gained 10.9% over the past year compared with a 31.7% rise of its industry.
