Flooring

Recognizing that the flooring requirements for different manufacturing and processing zones can vary significantly, it's crucial to identify key indicators of potential failures, no matter the flooring type. These failures can pose a risk to safety, hygiene, productivity, and the facility. They can also cause an unplanned shutdown.

• Concrete cracking
• Erosion of concrete
• Deteriorating joints
• Concrete repair / patching
• Water pooling- slope to drain issues
• Cove separation from substrates
• Dislodged or missing bricks or tiles
• Discoloration and chemical erosion
• Existing coating is peeling, cracking blistering, or delaminating
• Slippery surfaces

Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring delivers safety, durability, and sustainability. Engineered to excel in demanding industrial environments, our flooring systems cater to your facility's specific needs. Whether you require superior chemical resistance, slip resistance, thermal shock resistance, moisture vapor resistance, or electrostatic dissipative properties, we have the right system for you. Our seamless resinous floors not only enhance hygiene by minimizing dirt and bacteria accumulation but are also one of the most sanitary flooring options available.

Ceiling & Wall Systems

Flaking or peeling paint on ceilings or walls can create a dangerous environment for employees and can interfere with product purity.

Our versatile wall systems were designed for a multitude of applications — from food processing and packaging to locker rooms, Bio-Pharm production, and facilities with the strictest hygiene protocols. 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 wall coatings are monolithic flexible coating systems designed to coat drywall, block walls, IMP panels and more. Our ceiling coatings come in a variety of colors including bright white which increases light reflectivity creating a brighter and cleaner atmosphere.

Piping

Piping is vital to your facility, transporting water, chemicals, gases, and other essential commodities. Protective coatings are used to shield your pipes from corrosion, leaks, and provide thermal insulation. Maintaining the integrity of your piping system is crucial to prevent safety hazards or costly shutdowns. Any signs of corrosion or degradation should be assessed promptly. 
Sherwin-Williams offers a comprehensive range of protective pipe coatings, including high-heat options that safeguard against burns, prevent, or minimize condensation from forming on the pipes, and prevent corrosion under insulation.

• Personal protection
• Thermal insulation 
• Condensation Mitigation
• Corrosion Under Insulation 

For precise pipe demarcation and OSHA compliance, our 4000 series color chart adheres to the recommended ANSI standard color coding, ensuring clear identification of water, chemical, and other pipelines

Structural Steel 

If you are noticing that your structural steel is showing signs of rust corrosion or that the existing coating is peeling or cracking, these are indicators of potential structural problems and should be addressed. 

Sherwin-Williams offers coatings for structural steel in various environments and conditions. Depending on the demands of your facility, we have options from one-step to shop-applied primer/finishes. This includes applications that have been tested for exterior use is C5 extreme environments as described by ISO 12944 and meet LEED emissions for interior applications.  

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.  

Exterior Coatings

Exterior coatings serve as a vital shield, waterproofing surfaces and safeguarding them from harsh weather conditions. When these coatings fail, not only do they lose their visual appeal, but they also leave the substrate vulnerable to damaging erosion and corrosion. Additionally, exterior surfaces can fall prey to mold and mildew, which can deteriorate the coatings. Regular monitoring is essential to maintain the integrity and longevity of your exterior surfaces.

Sherwin-Williams exterior protective coatings are designed to withstand UV rays and extreme weather conditions. Choose from our specialized options that offer superior resistance to mold, mildew, and fungus, ensuring your surfaces stay pristine year-round.

Interior Protective Coatings

Interior protective coatings are essential for maintaining the integrity, safety, and efficiency of facilities. Sherwin-Williams protective coatings and linings extend from the envelope of a manufacturing and processing facility to its interior assets. Our extensive line of products can also repair and protect:

• Machines
• Handrails
• Doors
• Conveyors
• Tanks
• Forklifts
• Production equipment
• Racking
• Diamond plate
• Mezzanines

Roofing

Roofing is essential to any facility safeguarding everything beneath it. If you've spotted any signs of wear and tear, such as roof holes, leaks, or ceiling stains, it's a signal that your roofing needs attention and restoration.

Sherwin-Williams UNIFLEX® restorative roof coatings give new life to your existing roof systems and provide an extended life cycle for your facility. We have a variety of options for repairing from patching to a complete roof system. Coating your existing roofing system alleviates waste and the costs involved with removing and disposing of these materials. 

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.

Industrial Water & Wastewater Systems

Ensuring the seamless operation of manufacturing and processing facilities is dependent on the reliability of water and wastewater systems. When coatings fail, it can lead to the degradation of essential structures like recovery tanks, clarifiers, disinfection tanks, and concrete foundations. Exterior UV-stable coatings may chalk or fade, while rust and deterioration can compromise supporting steel structures and pipes. Even the linings in fire suppression tanks are at risk. These signs can signal critical problems that demand attention.

Sherwin-Williams is a proven leader in the coatings and linings for water and wastewater. Our linings are resistant to acidic, alkali, ultra-pure water, and many other commodities. We understand your current industrial needs and can prepare for your future waste streams. Designed for a twenty-year life cycle, our wastewater solutions align with your sustainability goals by minimizing energy and water consumption. 

Secondary Containment

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. We have an extensive list of tested commodities, and our systems are customized to match the chemical resistance needed at your facility.   

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.
