Sherwin-Williams
Introduces Polane D 8700
Direct-to-Metal
Sherwin-Williams, through its Product
Finishes Division, has introduced Polane D
8700, a liquid direct-to-metal polyurethane
coating that eliminates the need for primer,
saving processing time and other job costs.
Polane D 8700 achieves good corrosion and chemical resistance without
using a primer on blasted or pretreated
metal used in machinery, transformers,
enclosures, agricultural attachments, and
construction equipment.
Custom colors and small orders can
be blended at one of 74 local Sherwin-Williams facilities with quick lead times,
and larger orders can be manufactured in
one of the major manufacturing plants
to ensure quality and performance. This
launch is one of several Polane family enhancements planned for this year.

Hempel Launches New
Epoxy Coating for Marine
Newbuildings
Hempel has has launched Hempadur
Quattro XO 17820 in Canada, the U.S.
and Mexico. Responding to customer
needs, this high performance two-component pure epoxy PSPC (Performance
Standard for Protective Coatings) compliant coating has been developed for the
marine newbuilding sector.
Hempadur Quattro XO 17820 was
developed for water ballast tanks in new
vessels, however it can also be used as a
uni-primer for most vessel areas – above
and below the waterline – providing high
quality performance and peace of mind
for customers.
Hempadur Quattro XO 17820 has
been created specifically to suit the work-
ing methods of shipbuilders and so ac-
commodates shorter re-coat intervals and
reduces maintenance costs. Additionally,
its higher (80 percent) volume solids ratio
means less volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) are released into the atmosphere,
which is preferred in North America.
IMO (International Maritime
Organization) requires the use of a PSPC
certified coating for water ballast tanks.
The launch today, of this new coating
represents innovative pure epoxy tech-
nology that delivers the optimized perfor-
mance demanded by our customers.
Benefits of Hempadur Quattro XO
17820 include:
• High quality pure epoxy technology
offering superior crack resistance,
edge retention, coating flexibility
and impact resistance.
•High efficiency for shipyards due
to fast drying and year around applications from 14oF/-10oC to 104
oF/40oC.
• Option to upgrade with aluminum
pigmentation and proprietary fiber
reinforcement technology to enhance anti-corrosion properties and
long-term durability with reduced
maintenance expectations.
For the decision makers, the high
quality and robustness of Hempadur
Quattro XO 17820 provides simplicity
and reduced maintenance costs.
Speaking of the launch, North America
Marine Product manager Tracey Wilson
commented: “This innovative new coating has been developed in consultation
with our customers to offer additional
choice for the specific requirements of
owners and yards. Hempadur Quattro
XO 17820 has been in development for
three years and builds on the wide success
of our existing Hempadur Quattro epoxy
coatings. Utilizing pure epoxy technology and in conjunction with aluminium
pigmentation and our proprietary mi-cro-fiber reinforcement technology, this
coating will ensure exceptionally high
protection at a competitive price.”
Sherwin-Williams
Introduces KEM NISO 8510
Isocyanate-Free Topcoat
System
Sherwin-Williams, through its Product
Finishes Division, has introduced KEM
NISO 8510, an isocyanate-free topcoat
system that can be color matched in any
package size to a wide range of colors
and quickly blended at Sherwin-Williams
facilities across North America.
The system dries hard in 24 hours,
may be ambient or force cured to adapt
to almost any customer line, has superior flow, leveling and sharp edge sag resistance, and can be applied wet on wet
with common-catalyst KEM NISO primers for improved corrosion resistance in
exposed applications.
“From application and drying, to
physical properties and finished appearance, this product will be well suited
to customers who do not or cannot
use isocyanates in their process,” said
David Calabra, global product director,
Sherwin-Williams Product Finishes. He
said KEM NISO 8510 offers superior
Distinctness of Image (DOI) properties,
producing great finish clarity.
The two-component product has similar appearance and gloss properties as
conventional high solids urethanes used
for metal and general industrial applications in a broad range of industry segments including trailers, heavy machinery,
cranes and mining equipment. CW
