EV Battery Construction and Intumescent Coatings

Duration - 2:6

00;00;00;00 - 00;00;40;25 Unknown The investment in electrification of the automotive market is driving rapid construction of EV battery facilities throughout North America. These massive facilities introduce complex and unique challenges for the owners and constructors tasked with building them faster than ever. Traditional field applied installation of passive fire protection materials disrupts construction trades by requiring preparation, application sharing and cleanup at the Mega-site exposure to unpredictable weather conditions impacts dry times, resulting in scheduled delays and added project costs. 00;00;40;28 - 00;01;10;12 Unknown However, there is a better way to fireproof Your steel shop applied in tumescent fireproof coatings can enhance both safety and quality by reducing potential risk as work is done mostly offsite at ground level. Following the application of Sherwin-Williams Fire text in tumescent coating, which is engineered to withstand severe operating environments, physical demands of transportation and construction, the fireproof steel is delivered to the job site ready for assembly. 00;01;10;14 - 00;01;44;20 Unknown This process not only reduces site congestion, but accelerates construction schedules by requiring fewer tradespeople and onsite equipment, lower rental fees, and boosting productivity by adopting sharp, applied fireproofing on mega-projects. Construction teams can achieve increased safety on the project site. Reduction of job site insurance costs. Reduction of field applied coding disruptions and reduction of waste, which helped save millions of dollars and thousands of hours at Sherwin-Williams. 00;01;44;24 - 00;02;06;19 Unknown Our goal is to help you create a sustainable and operationally excellent EV battery facility by engaging with our Construction Solutions team. We can help create a safer, faster, simpler construction project. Contact us today to get your project started.

With the construction of EV battery facilities throughout North America, owners and constructors are tasked with building them faster than ever. Traditional field-applied fire protection installation can cause delays and added project costs compared to shop-applied intumescent fire protection coatings. Sherwin-Williams Firetex™ shop-applied coatings can help reduce site congestion, accelerate construction schedules, while improving both safety and quality. Therefore, resulting in reduction of job site insurance costs, field-applied coating disruptions and waste.

Sherwin-Williams has a comprehensive portfolio of protective coatings and linings for EV Battery facilities including:

High Performance Flooring

Sherwin-Williams provides durable, tailored flooring solutions for EV battery manufacturing, ensuring safety, efficiency, and sustainability in high-performance environments. Our flooring solutions are designed to endure the rigorous demands of continuous operations involving heavy machinery, moving vehicles, and robotics. They are also resistant to harsh chemicals, including N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). Furthermore, they prioritize safety by offering dependable static control and slip resistance, even in environments with carbon black.

NMP chemical resistance

Carbon black slip resistance

Enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) control

Moisture vapor resistance and green concrete installation

Easy maintenance and cleanability

Customizable color options for different manufacturing zones

Easy and fast installation
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. With the surge in on-site construction activities driven by accelerated project timelines, opting for off-site application of intumescent fire protection materials is a smart move. Off-site fireproofing of structural steel not only streamlines project scheduling but also ensures a safer and cleaner construction environment compared to traditional on-site sprayed fire-resistive materials.

For EV battery manufacturing facilities, our top recommendation is the shop-applied FIRETEX 9502, the ultimate choice for superior fire protection.
