Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine says it has introduced rapid curing technology to significantly reduce the application time and labor costs for structural steel protection.

With comparable color and gloss retention to a polyurethane topcoat, the coating manufacturer says its new Envirolastic 2500 system can be applied as a single or multi-coat system, resulting in faster shop throughput when compared to traditional two-pack coating systems.

Better Production Throughput

“The Envirolastic 2500 system combines the best properties of a two-coat or three-coat protection system for steelwork, while taking production throughput to the next level,” said Alex Sandilands, product manager at Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine.

Independently certified by the ISO 12944 standard, Envirolastic 2500 offers asset owners long-lasting anticorrosion protection for up to 25 years, according to the company. It is currently available to customers in European markets.

Direct-to-Metal Coating

The polyaspartic direct-to-metal coating also features durable ultraviolet (UV) stability and low-VOC (volatile organic compound) content. This makes Envirolastic 2500 suitable for use on a range of infrastructure projects, including stadia, bridges, and highways; large manufacturing plants; port machinery equipment; and commercial buildings.

In addition to the infrastructure sector, the system is suitable for a diverse range of applications in the mining and oil and gas industries, such as process vessels, storage tanks, and biomass plants.
