Protective Coatings for Hydroelectric
Reliable Coatings for Safer, Stronger Hydroelectric Infrastructure.
What are PROTECTIVE COATINGS FOR THE HYDROELECTRIC INDUSTRY?
Hydroelectric power facilities operate in highly demanding environments where water, debris and mechanical stress constantly threaten the integrity of critical infrastructure. From penstocks and turbines to spillway gates and dam structures, protective coatings are essential for resisting corrosion, erosion, abrasion and chemical degradation. These systems help extend equipment life, improve operational efficiency and reduce costly maintenance.
Sherwin-Williams offers a complete portfolio of hydroelectric coatings engineered for both immersion and atmospheric service. Our solutions protect key assets such as draft tubes, water intakes, gates and support structures. We provide site-specific recommendations and coating systems that meet the needs of new construction and maintenance projects across the hydroelectric power sector with certified corrosion specialists and a responsive technical service network.
- Engineered for wet and debris-laden environments
- Protects steel and concrete from corrosion, erosion and abrasion
- Supports long-term reliability and regulatory compliance
- Durable coatings for penstocks, turbines, gates and dam structures
- High-performance systems for immersion and atmospheric conditions

Minimizing Wear and Maximizing Uptime
Hydroelectric equipment is constantly exposed to fast-moving water, debris and turbulent flow that accelerate corrosion, erosion and abrasion. Sherwin-Williams offers high-performance epoxy and polyurea coatings that protect critical components such as penstocks, runners, gates and conduits. These systems resist physical wear and help facilities operate reliably while minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
- Resists erosion and abrasion in high-flow environments
- Protects high-impact areas such as penstocks and turbine runners
- Maintains coating integrity under turbulent water conditions
- Minimizes downtime and reduces repair frequency
- Supports consistent performance in demanding operations
