Industry-Leading Protection for Aerospace and Aviation Facilities

Sherwin-Williams provides a wide range of durable and functional performance coatings that protect facilities and enhance safety. Our high-performance ceiling, wall and floor coatings are highly reflective and increase illumination which assists with Foreign Object Debris (FOD) awareness. These along with other innovative coatings offered for business aviation, jet centers and aerospace manufacturing facilities, help minimize downtime and maintenance costs, while providing durable, safe surface protection.

Sherwin-Williams has a comprehensive portfolio of protective coatings and linings for Aviation & Aerospace facilities including:

Ceiling & Wall Systems

Our high performance ceiling and wall systems were designed for a multitude of applications. Each system is engineered to reduce downtime and deliver the exceptional performance you demand. Sherwin-Williams wall systems are chemical resistant and designed to meet and exceed your unique needs and requirements. Our ceiling coatings come in a bright white which increases light reflectivity creating a brighter and cleaner atmosphere.
Fuel Tank Farms

Fuel tank farms or secondary containment areas are essential for any facility handling chemicals or commodities. These areas must feature floors and walls that are not only tall enough to securely hold the tank's contents but also robust enough to resist the chemicals or commodities for up to 72 hours, ensuring no seepage into the ground. Any of the following signs could be indicative of a coating's failure:

Peeling

Cracking

Blistering or delamination

Discoloration and chemical erosion

Sherwin-Williams high-performance coatings for secondary containment help prevent EPA related risks. Our systems are customized to match the chemical resistance needed at your facility.
Structural Steel

Our Steel Spec™ product portfolio is versatile by design, with coatings to meet your specific surface preparation, application, production, and service requirements. Whether you need a workhorse shop coat primer, universal primer/finish, or something in between, the Steel Spec alkyd primer line has what you need.
Intumescent Fire Protection

Fireproofing is a critical safeguard for any facility, especially those with high fire risk due to extensive electrical equipment, automated processes, continuous airflow, and flammable or explosive materials.

If you are seeing peeling, cracking, or show signs of rusting or corroding, it could be critical to recoat to stay compliant with industry code and safety standards. Sherwin-Williams FIRETEX line has various long-lasting offerings for intumescent fire protection to fit the needs of your facility.
Roofing

Sherwin-Williams UNIFLEX restorative roof coatings give new life to your existing roof systems and provide an extended life cycle for your facility. Coating your existing roofing system alleviates waste and the costs involved with removing and disposing of these materials.
We have a variety of options for repairing from patching to a complete roof system. Our fluid applied roofing systems are designed to protect and reflect the sun's heat and damaging UV radiation — improving energy efficiency by reducing cooling costs. UNIFLEX products are certified and rated by a wide variety of industry agencies, including ENERGY STAR® and the Cool Roof Rating Council. UNIFLEX Fluid Applied Roofing Systems have several different roof assemblies tested by Factory Mutual (FM 4470) standard. UNIFLEX coatings are also UL Class A Approved and meet the stringent requirements of Title 24, NSF.
Pavement Markings

Facility pavement markings to identify parking spaces, crosswalks, and fire lanes are essential for safety and regulatory compliance, yet they often fade over time.

Revitalize your parking lot with Sherwin-Williams pavement markings. These coatings offer excellent adhesion and chemical and dirt resistance. Our highly visible formulas are ideal for highlighting curbs, identifying handicapped and emergency zones, and defining traffic boundaries. Sherwin-Williams pavement markings deliver long-lasting and dependable performances to enhance curb appeal.
