Search ID PPG4188

PPG SigmaShield 880 (also known as Amerlock 880) is a two-component, high-build, polyamine adduct-cured epoxy coating primarily designed for use in offshore splash zone maintenance such as pipelines, jetties, piling, etc. with outstanding sea water resistance that requires just a single coat that continues to cure when immersed in water.

Excellent corrosion resistance - Good abrasion resistance - Resistant to well-designed cathodic protection
Long-term protection in a single-coat application - suitable for application on exterior of buried pipes
Suitable on wet blast or ultra-high-pressure water (UHPWW) cleaned substrates (damp or dry)
As used by Zhenhua Heavy Industries, Co., Ltd. (ZpmC) in Nantong, China
Available in 600+ colours, inc. RAL, BS & NCS

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Colour reproduction of the Products on the Site is limited by the technology used to deliver web pages and by the colour representation of Customer’s own monitor and computer set-up. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products but we cannot guarantee that the colour shown on Customer’s monitor’s display will accurately reflect the colour of the Product on delivery. We recommend that Customer first purchases the smallest Product available or access an industry standard colour chart in person (and not digitally) to ensure that the colour is acceptable for its purposes.

Description

PPG SigmaShield 880 (also known as Amerlock 880), a two-component, high-build, polyamine adduct-cured epoxy coating primarily designed for use in offshore splash zone maintenance, such as pipelines, jetties, piling, etc. SigmaShield 880 has outstanding sea water resistance, requiring just a single coat that continues to cure when immersed in water.

Used by Zhenhua Heavy Industries, Co., Ltd. (ZpmC) in Nantong, China, the world’s largest heavy-duty equipment manufacturer with 17 cross-owned steel workshops that manufacture conventional port machinery products, large steel bridges, gantry cranes, marine floating cranes, and ship fittings, yielding 15,000 tons of steel per month. ZPMC also manufactured foundation pipes for offshore wind turbines for the Rudong intertidal I development Zone (Ri1dZ). Located in the East China Sea, the Rudong wind farm consists of 58 wind turbines with the capacity of 150 megawatts of power.

Also used by The Pertamina (PERSERO) Processing Unit RU IV in Cilacap, Indonesia, an oil refinery with a production capacity of 348,000 barrels per day. Pertamina RU IV processes raw crude oil from the Middle East while simultaneously extracting lube oil and asphalt. It supplies between 34% and 60% of Indonesia’s national fuel needs.

Datang Changshan Power Plant used SigmaShield 880 on its large steel circulating water pipes, requiring protection from the effects of prolonged flowing water exposure (corrosion, and abrasion). Datang specializes in the development, investment, construction, operation and management of power energy for the state. Datang comprises six subsidiaries and eight branch companies, which operate the largest thermal power plant in China, the largest wind farm in the world, and the second largest hydropower project in China.

Surface Preparation

Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures

Existing pipelines may have to be cleaned first by scraper pigs and solvents

Coating performance will depend upon the surface preparation degree
Steel; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2 or ISO-Sa2½
Blasting profile of 40 – 80 µm (1.6 – 3.1 mils) is recommended
Steel; hand/power tool clean in accordance with St3 or SSPC-SP3 for new building and St2 or SSPC-SP2 for maintenance, UHPWH in accordance with WJ2L/3l (SSPC-VIS-4)
Compatible previous coat must be dry and free from any contamination

Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions

Notes:

For repair of jetties, piling etc. between tides, SIGMASHIELD 880 can be immersed within 30 minutes. Whitening can be happened for dark colour, but will not affect anti-corrosive performances.
The curing time is related to the DFT of the paint and ventilation of the drying condition. High DFT and poor ventilation will slow curing
Adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing (please refer to information sheets information sheet 1433 and information sheet 1434

Safety Precautions

This is a solvent-borne paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray mist or vapour, as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes
