Topside Paint · Paint & Coating Systems
PPG / Sigma Sigmadur 188 is a marine Topside Paint within the Paint & Coating Systems group. Equipment of this type is typically installed on the hull, decks, superstructure, tanks or machinery-space surfaces specified by the vessel's coating schedule. Its primary duty is corrosion, fouling, chemical or fire-protection service associated with the Topside Paint, and it provides protection only when surface preparation, compatible coating layers, film build, curing and environmental conditions follow the approved coating system. Neighboring variants can differ in rating, size, interface, approval basis or arrangement, so the complete model designation and actual nameplate data are important for identification. It normally interfaces with the prepared substrate, compatible primers or topcoats, sealants and the vessel's inspection and maintenance coating records.
What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Inspect coating continuity, adhesion defects, rusting, blistering, cracking and mechanical damage, and identify the underlying substrate condition before repair. Confirm surface preparation, product compatibility and curing requirements from the approved coating specification. Refer to manufacturer documentation for exact mixing ratios, film thicknesses, overcoating intervals and environmental limits.
Keep only correctly identified and in-date coating products, compatible thinners or cleaners where specified, surface-preparation consumables and application equipment appropriate to the approved vessel coating system.
