United States. Sherwin-Williams agreed with test specialist Exova to provide support on a key project in the marine sector.
The paint company will work with Exova's coatings division for the next nine months to test a number of marine coatings in their development stage.
Exova will test the products on the two main protective coating performance standards, resolutions MSC.215(82) and MSC.288(87), of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which set minimum standards for marine protective coatings used in both ballast tanks and oil cargo tanks.
Both standards are required for the construction of ships, establishing the requirements that the protective coatings used must meet.
