Sherwin-Williams Unveils ControlTech Chemical-Resistant Coatings for Industrial Operators

Sherwin-Williams has launched ControlTech, a new suite of chemical-resistant coating technologies designed to help industrial operators strengthen secondary containment and reduce environmental risk.

The range responds to rising regulatory pressure on facilities to prevent chemical releases from reaching soil and water sources. Michael Harrison, global product director, linings, said the new systems arrive at a pivotal moment for operators facing tighter expectations. 'Secondary containment is a critical safeguard for any facility handling hazardous chemicals,' he said.

The ControlTech range brings together nine systems across three chemical-resistance profiles: epoxy systems for moderate-risk areas, novolac epoxy systems for more aggressive environments, and vinyl ester systems for the most demanding applications involving highly corrosive substances. Each profile offers multiple build-ups to match mechanical demands, spill scenarios, and operational realities.

The structured approach behind ControlTech is designed to simplify decision-making for operators. Harrison said the range of systems brings established coating technologies into a clearly defined range, helping customers identify the right solution for their facilities' specific needs.
