Sherwin-Williams introduces epoxy coating with optically active pigment

Sherwin-Williams Industrial & Marine Coatings, Cleveland, now offers its Duraplate^® UHS Ultra High Solids Epoxy with fluorescing optically active pigments (OAP), allowing tank lining applicators to check the coating instantly for pinholes, holidays and other discontinuities and verify uniform coverage and proper film thickness.

The new formulation now is the only product of its type meeting the requirements of NSF Standard 61 for potable water tanks of at least 1,000 gal. The coating uses Duraplate UHS Epoxy as the vehicle to hold the pigment, and is available as a single- or multi-coat application.
