The advantages of electrostatic application

Both PPG SIGMAGLIDE and PPG NEXEON coatings are specifically crafted for electrostatic application, a method that is increasing in demand by shipowners and shipyards. This sustainable spraying technique utilizes an electrostatic field to attract paint droplets to the surface, much like a magnet. The benefits are manifold:

  • Uniform and ultra-smooth coating surface: Achieve a flawless finish.

  • Reduced overspray: Minimise waste and lower paint consumption*.

  • Improved health and safety: Benefit from a cleaner operation and improved work environment*.  

*compared to traditional airless spraying.
