Sherwin-Williams, a leading global provider of paints and coatings, is highlighting their commitment to innovation and sustainability at the ILTA 2024 conference. In an interview with the Inspenet team, Kristin Leonard, North America Energy Market Director was showcasing their extensive portfolio of tank terminal and pipeline coatings, with a particular focus on their bio-fuel resistant lining solutions.
Ensuring Compatibility: Sherwin-Williams Tests Linings for Bio-Fuels
Sherwin-Williams is taking a proactive approach to the growing bio-fuel market. For the past two years, they’ve been conducting a comprehensive testing program to ensure the compatibility of their internal lining products with various bio-fuels. This research is critical because bio-fuels, derived from sustainable sources like used cooking oils, have different properties compared to traditional crude oil. These differences can impact the performance and longevity of tank linings, making compatibility testing essential.
