Original Press Release:



Sherwin-Williams Envirolastic® Potable Water Polyurea is ANSI/NSF-Approved



Polyurea coatings are part of new ControlTech(TM) coatings line for tank linings, secondary containment, and corrosion control

(ANAHEIM - June 15, 2003) - Sherwin-Williams Industrial and Marine Coatings group now offers EnviroLastic® Polyurea for use in the water and wastewater industries as part of its newly created ControlTech(TM) coatings line, which includes low-VOC, high performance coating systems for tank linings, secondary containment, and corrosion control.

Sherwin-Williams AR 520 PW Potable Water Polyurea is USDA-acceptable and NSF-approved to ANSI-NSF 61 Standard for potable water storage. The no VOC, no-odor coating dries tack-free in as little as 45 seconds. The coating may be applied at temperatures as low as -20° F and in high humidity. It offers excellent adhesion and may be used in both primary and secondary containment applications, and as an alternative to fiberglass liners and other mat reinforced systems. EnviroLastic Polyurea is available in brush grade for touchup and repairs and caulk grade for horizontal joints.

Engineered for use on concrete or steel tanks, floors, drains, clarifiers, sumps and slabs, EnviroLastic Polyurea coatings are high-build, rapidly drying finishes that allow coated substrates to be returned to use in just minutes, significantly reducing downtime. The coatings combine tensile strength and elongation properties with low permeability and high impact resistance, making them ideal where a tough, flexible liner is needed.

EnviroLastic Polyurea coatings are ideal liners for most water tanks, including salt water, and can withstand most chemical gasses produced at waste treatment plants. The coatings are also recommended for lining large diameter pipes, manholes, clear wells and process tanks for potable water and non-potable water, basins and reservoirs, lift stations and reserve fire water tanks. Sherwin-Williams maintains a list of certified contractors for application of EnviroLastic Polyurea coatings.

Sherwin-Williams Industrial and Marine Coatings group serves North America with a broad line of high-performance coatings, comprehensive technical service, and the industry's largest distribution network. Relying on more than 135 years of experience in formulating industrial coatings, the group provides cost-effective solutions for applications where extreme corrosion, abrasion and chemical attack are present.
