Sherwin-Williams Wins Notable Vaaler Award for CUI-Mitigation Coatings
The new line of Heat-Flex® CUI-mitigation coatings from Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine has earned a prestigious Vaaler Award from Chemical Processing for its ability to mitigate the dangerous condition of corrosion under insulation (CUI). The Vaaler Awards honor products and services that offer dramatic improvements for chemical plant operations.
Among all currently available coating formulations, Heat-Flex® ACE (Advanced CUI Epoxy) performs the best at mitigating CUI in a variety of tests. The ultra-high-solids epoxy novolac features a functional chemical enhancement for CUI mitigation. In addition, Heat-Flex 650, Heat-Flex 750 and Heat-Flex 1200 Plus feature a high concentration of micaceous iron oxide (MIO) pigment for significantly improved CUI-mitigation performance compared to similar formulations on the market.
