Extended Lifetime Performance with Opti-Check™ Inspection Technology

Ensures consistent coatings application and identification of defects.

A Sherwin-Williams innovation, Opti-Check™ uses a fluorescing pigmentation that illuminates the coating for instant verification under ultraviolet light. Optically Active Pigments (OAPs) in a number of our products allow applicators to instantly check the coating for:

  • Pinholes and holidays
  • Uniform coverage and correct film thickness
  • Identifying defects
  • Ensuring correct application
  • The fluorescing technology significantly extends the service life of tank linings by illuminating the coating during application
