The company explains in an emailed release that with continued growth and investment in EV battery production, the need for protective coatings is “paramount” to ensure product, process and personnel safety. Standard epoxy floors are subjected to N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), potentially resulting in the full deterioration of the coating. Additionally, a lack of static control and slip resistance can increase the risk of damage to the workers and electronic components during production.
As a result, Sherwin is offering advanced NMP systems and an electrostatic discharge (ESD) and conductive protection system. These systems are reportedly designed for both clean and dry rooms within EV battery manufacturing facilities.
