Ships are subject to high levels of impact and abrasion during their operations. Steel surfaces will succumb to this induced damage and the ensuing breakdown will ultimately lead to corrosion of the underlying steel – this will entail higher surface preparation and repair costs at the next regular maintenance.

SigmaKalon Marine Coatings has developed a range of coatings with higher resistance to the regular “wear and tear” experienced by ships, as well as specialist coatings for more rigorous service conditions. These coatings, designed for the different areas of the ship and/or operations, are now brought together into one product family – SigmaShield.

SigmaShield 1200 is the most recent development in this Product Range, offering maximum abrasion resistance even to hard angular cargoes when applied for lining of cargo tanks but equally withstanding harsh conditions in arctic environments when going through heavy ice.
