Structural Steel 

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.  

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. 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. 

Tanks, Silos, & Secondary Containment

Tanks and silos for raw material storage require the highest level of FDA approved coatings. These coatings protect the tanks form corrosion and the food from contamination.
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 a 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 tanks, silos and secondary containment help prevent EPA related risks. 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.
