Solar Reflective Coatings
Sherwin-Williams has mastered the science of reflective coatings, and offers the highest SR coatings values in the industry. We have a full line eco-friendly building products that can lower energy costs without sacrificing durability, performance or beauty. In addition to cool metal roofs, solar reflective pigments are also used on wall panels and extrusions.
Cool Coatings DownloadChrome-Free Coatings
Sherwin-Williams reduces environmental impact by providing a full line of tested and approved chrome-free primers for all it applications. Our scientists have been working tirelessly to replace chromium (hexavalent chromium) with materials and production processes that maintain corrosion resistance without adverse environmental or cost implications.
Fluropon Pure DownloadHigh Solids Coatings
To achieve better coverage, we use higher solids. Better coverage means lower costs — lower product costs, shipping costs and lower application costs. Sherwin-Williams offers high-volume solids, with a reduction of solvent content in excess of 60%, to provide higher coverage rate with less waste.
