Remember the
joke about small
towns?
"Don't blink on
your way through
town - you might miss it."
These days, you could come up with a
similar line about the fast-paced, everchanging
heavy-duty coatings industry.
"Blink" and you might miss an innovative
equipment update or news about a new
coatings formulation, each of which seem to
lurk around virtually every corner.
At Sherwin-Williams, we strive to keep
you informed about the latest in this dynamic
industry by staffing a highly trained field
organization, supporting an unmatched distribution
network, and sharing the secrets of
success told by customers such as yourselves.
In fact, this issue of Coatings Solutions
magazine delivers an important bridge
repainting study conducted by the state of
Connecticut, comparing the benefits of a
two-coat system in a rapid deployment work
environment to a traditional three-coat system
(page 8). Wefre pleased to report that
the state saw fit to conduct its experiments
with coatings from the Sherwin-Williams
ExpressTech family of value-engineered coatings,
including our Fast Clad Urethane. The
state found significant savings in time and
money using our new system - as well as
an improvement in safety for the traveling
public who experienced fewer and shorter
lane closures due to the new technology.
Also in this issue, you'll find updates on
exciting new products from our Industrial &
Marine group (page 16), and an example of
how a partnership with Sherwin-Williams
helped construction of a new research facility
wrap two months ahead of schedule (page 4).
Let Sherwin-Williams keep you on the
cutting edge of the heavy-duty coatings
industry - especially if you happen to blink.

The Sherwin-Williams Company
