Industrial painting
contractors, owners,
specifiers and applicators
routinely find
themselves facing a unique set of challenges
that require customized coatings solutions.
More often than not, these challenging
coatings projects enable the Sherwin-
Williams Industrial Marine group to
demonstrate how partnership with a single,
solution-oriented coatings supplier that
offers the latest in technology and innovation
can result in success, no matter how
diverse the project.
For example, Lakehead Painting effectively
prolonged the life of a gas storage
sphere with an advanced Sherwin-Williams
polyurea coating system that effectively
shrink-wrapped the sphere and its existing
insulation. This system is providing
a flexible membrane that will endure
variables such as condensation and winter
weather, and is allowing owners to save the
cost of replacing the insulation. (The
polyurea was applied over the top of the
insulation rather than the steel substrate.)
At the opposite extreme, our HiTemp
coatings are applied to a boiler in the
Dominican Republic and provide protection
for surface steel capable of thermal
cycling to 600 degrees F.
Yet another example of uses for our versatile
heavy-duty coatings is illustrated by
mural artist Eric Henn, using our DTM
Acrylic. His photorealistic images adorn a
variety of industrial structures throughout
the country.
One story of innovation, one of protection,
one of aesthetics — all the result of
forward-thinking industrial painting professionals
partnering with a versatile coatings
supplier — and that’s a solid mix.
