Abrasion-resistant, surface-tolerant, multipurpose epoxy for severe environments
Like other coatings in the PPG SIGMASHIELD family of reinforced products, the PPG SIGMASHIELD 880 product is engineered and formulated to resist corrosion in a wide range of industries and applications.
It provides cost savings by reducing the time and expense associated with surface preparation as well as providing greater application efficiency and enhanced finish quality.
Furthermore, as the PPG SIGMASHIELD 880 coating can be rapidly immersed and continues to cure after seawater immersion, it is particularly suited for structures exposed to tidal movement and surges, and for offshore splash zones such as those encountered in offshore power projects.
Benefits of two coats - in a single coat
As a fast-drying, single-coat system, the PPG SIGMASHIELD 880 coating speeds up the coating process to minimize downtime. Application is simplified by the coating's high surface tolerance (suitable for damp- or wet-blast clean substrates), extended recoat window and the high film thickness that is achieved in one coat.
The PPG SIGMASHIELD 880 coating's superior resistance to abrasion, impact, corrosion and seawater prolongs service life and protects assets in some of the world's most severe environments.
Splash and spill resistance
In addition, the PPG SIGMASHIELD 880 coating exhibits good chemical resistance with splash and spill resistance to the following materials:
- Ethanol
- Butanol
- Propanol
- 5% Potassium Hydroxide
- 5% Sodium Hydroxide
- 10% Sodium Chloride
- 10% Ammonia Solution
Aesthetic options
As well as its protective properties, the PPG SIGMASHIELD 880 product is also available in a range of colors.
