About Sherwin-Williams from www2.sherwin.com/IM/default.asp
Sherwin-Williams is a global producer of paints and coatings with a rich history of innovation. Since its founding by Henry Sherwin and Edward Williams in 1866, the company has taken the lead in service and product advances. From developing dry chemical pigments, brushable lacquers and synthetic enamels, to being the first paint company to offer an emulsified finish, Sherwin-Williams has continually pushed the envelope of coatings technology.
Today, the pioneering spirit at Sherwin-Williams lives on - with the formulation of new products that are more durable, longer lasting, easier to apply, and friendlier to the environment. As an alternative to traditional solvent-based polymers, the company's technical staff has developed coatings with waterborne and high-solids resins that are VOC-compliant, and exceed application and performance expectations.
