| 摘要： | There's nothing better than a good challenge that prompts you to come up with new ideas. That's what Sherwin-Williams was facing several years ago after securing a contract with Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co. for all the company's coating needs, except for one. That was a paint for Oak Brook, Ill.-based Great Lakes Dredge's hopper dredges. "They were using a competitor's product," said Matt Hef-fernan, Sherwin-Williams commercial business manager, who admits he likes a good challenge. The hopper, he noted, is "a really severe environment for coating applications." It is subjected to impacts, abrasion, immersion and flexing. Heffernan said that Great Lakes Dredge basically told him that they were "switching to Sherwin-Williams for everything - except for that." But they left the door open if Sherwin-Williams could come up with a better product and "bring it to the table and prove it." Sherwin-Williams analyzed past coating problems with Great Lakes Dredge's hopper dredges as well as issues with the current coating, "to figure out what would best fit their needs," said Heffernan." As it turned out, Sherwin-Williams had a product developed in 2020 that looked like it might be the answer. That was the Dura-Plate 6000, a high-strength, 100% solids, reinforced epoxy for steel coatings. |
