ProFinisher Welcome to the latest edition of ProFinisher, and my first as Vice President of Sales for our General Industrial Coatings business. As you may know, it’s an exciting time at Sherwin-Williams, as we recently completed the successful acquisition of Valspar. One of the key benefits of our integration with Valspar will be speed – faster innovation, with more ways to serve our valued customers. Perhaps, then, it’s no coincidence this issue focuses on “the road ahead” – quite literally – with a story of how we helped a manufacturer accelerate its changeover time from hours to minutes. You can also learn about our undercoating program and products, like Hydralon 5702, developed to offer over-the-road vehicles excellent corrosion protection and chip resistance. Of course, when we talk about speed, we can’t look past our dedicated network of Sherwin-Williams blending facilities. Located all across North America, one or more is a short drive from your production shop. Our facilities provide fast product delivery and a local team of experts who can visit your business to identify ways to maximize efficiency while reducing costs. Whether it’s a coating, spray equipment and supplies, or delivery and customer support, innovation at Sherwin-Williams is driven by your need to produce the highest quality products while working faster and saving money. Listening to you – our customer – helps us develop these best-in-class coatings solutions. Get inspired by something featured in this issue, or bring us your toughest challenge, and let’s see how we can help grow your business. The road ahead is exciting and filled with opportunity. We look forward to pursuing that opportunity together with you.
CARLISLE FLUID TECHNOLOGIES SUCCESS STORY
Carlisle Fluid Technologies globally engineers and manufactures a wide range of premium finishing equipment brands, including DeVilbiss and Binks™, for industrial markets. Sherwin-Williams and Carlisle Fluid Technologies worked together to help a longtime Sherwin-Williams customer improve transfer efficiency of a specialized coating. CHALLENGE The customer, a maker of in-road reflective markers, relied on Sherwin-Williams’ premium UV coating to protect the markers from the harmful effects of the sun, exposure to the elements and abrasion from vehicular traffic. UV coatings can be challenging to apply, and the customer’s process produced an unacceptable amount of overspray collecting at the bottom of the spray booth. Transfer efficiency had to be improved to avoid excessive production downtime during shifts to swap out spray guns for cleaning and maintenance. Sherwin-Williams sales representative Paul Brucci, who serviced this customer for 20 years, knew just what to do.

SOLUTION Brucci worked with vendor partner Carlisle Fluid Technologies to analyze the customer’s process and trial new equipment through Carlisle Fluid Technologies’ onsite equipment trial program, Seeing Is Believing. The team discovered that, when spraying the marker reflectors with the UV coating, film build is not as critical for performance as is the coating’s level of refraction. The team determined that a remedy targeting better fluid regulation combined with moving to a different spray gun orifice size for control of the coating application would achieve the desired refraction. This involved a switch to: ■ Devilbiss Compact™ Automatic X HVLP spray gun applicators with manifold mount setup ■ Binks™ extra-sensitive fluid regulators on Binks pressure tanks customized for the UV coating application The sophisticated Compact Automatic X HVLP spray gun from Devilbiss detaches from its mounting block in seconds using the thumb release mechanism, allowing easy maintenance. This DeVilbiss spray gun, together with the Binks extra-sensitive fluid regulator, makes it possible to both avoid production shutdowns and refine the process to limit paint waste.
RESULTS With an improved uniformity of spray, the customer saves 50% in UV coating costs from formerly wasted material. Other benefits included: ■ Fewer spray booth cleanings from deposits of overspray ■ Minimized changeover time from hours of shutdown to minutes When the customer later relocated its operation to another state, Sherwin-Williams sales representative Ron Skidmore and equipment expert Tim Chambers joined with Carlisle Fluid Technologies there to assure a smooth installation of a significant finishing line investment at the new facility.

TIPS
Control Moisture in Summer Months During the warmer summer months, have a U-shaped drip leg with a manual gate valve on air drops that can be easily drained into a five gallon bucket to get rid of excess moisture in air lines. — Joe McCormack, General Industrial Technical Service Representative, The Sherwin-Williams Company
