Product catalog summary
Product Overview:
SIGMAGLIDE® 890 is an innovative two-component silicone-based fouling release top coat designed for wastewater clarifiers. It creates a slick surface that prevents algae and lime from adhering, allowing for easy removal with a standard water hose and soft bristle brush, eliminating the need for power washing and hand scrubbing.
Key Features:
  • Biocide-free and environmentally friendly.
  • Maintains superior color and gloss with minimal degradation over time.
  • Reduces operational downtime as cleaning can be performed while the tank is operational.
Operational Benefits:
Traditional cleaning methods require draining the clarifier and taking it offline for 80-100 hours for labor-intensive cleaning. SIGMAGLIDE 890 allows for cleaning in one day without taking the tank offline, significantly reducing downtime and labor costs.

SIGMAGLIDE® 890Easy removal of algae and lime accumulation from wastewater clarifiers The wastewater clarifier plays an important role to settle, separate and remove the heavier sludge from the liquid phase. During this process, the surface of weir teeth, channel and concrete trough of the clarifier accumulates a thick layer of lime that restricts the water flow and slows down the cleaning process. To remove the algae and lime accumulation, the wastewater facility typically would have to drain the water of the clarifier until the water gets below its weir teeth. When the surfaces are exposed...
