EDINBURGH, Scotland - The Sherwin-Williams Co., Cleveland, OH, has assigned global testing specialist Exova to provide support on a key marine project.
The paint company is working with Exova’s coatings division for the next nine months to test a number of marine coatings at the development stage. Exova will test the products to the two key International Maritime Organization (IMO) performance standards for protective coatings, resolutions MSC.215(82) and MSC.288(87). These provide minimum standards for protective marine coatings used in both ballast tanks and cargo oil tanks.
