Containment You Can Trust in Critical Environments.

The ControlTech™ secondary containment systems have been designed, and tested, to provide excellent resistance to a wide range of industrial chemicals.

Secondary containment coating systems (bunds) are important because they provide a protective barrier that prevents hazardous liquids - such as chemicals, fuels, or oils - from penetrating containment structures and escaping into the environment.

These coatings enhance the chemical resistance and impermeability of concrete or steel substrates, helping to contain leaks or spills within bunded areas. In doing so, they reduce the risk of soil and groundwater contamination, support regulatory compliance, and improve overall facility safety by minimising environmental and financial liabilities associated with uncontrolled releases.

CIRIA Compliance

CIRIA C736 is a recognised standard for secondary containment systems, widely used across the EMEAI. 

The CIRIA core principle is to protect a watercourse from the risk of a leaking, damaged or ruptured storage tank. Sherwin-Williams ControlTech™ systems provide a proven barrier that helps improve your facilities corporate and social responsibilities. 

Why it matters:

- Supports compliance with UK & EU regulations

- Builds credibility with all stakeholders

- Helps avoid costly environmental incidents

Additionally, selected vinyl ester systems, including Magnalux VEL, are WHG-certified, demonstrating compliance with a recognised German standard for environmental protection.
