At Sherwin-Williams, “green” is not just a color. It’s the ongoing initiative that describes our commitment to developing environmentally preferable solutions. Often people worry about coatings performance being compromised to satisfy green requirements, our green solutions won’t compromise durability. As a matter of fact, Sherwin-Williams has put together specifications that meet or exceed the strictest regulatory rules with some of the best products we manufacture. Duration® Home, Resilience™, ArmorSeal®, ProGreen® 200, Harmony®, and Loxon® are just a few. As the industry leader, we are making the commitment to the environment by instituting manufacturing procedures that focus on solid waste reduction, recycling, and the implementation of zero discharge processes. We are researching and developing innovative and advanced coatings and pioneering the use of renewable or sustainable raw materials like soy and sunflower oil. To help reduce harmful emissions, we’re developing coatings that have fewer VOC’s and require fewer coats and repaints. We're promoting awareness of proper surface preparation and application processes to help lengthen the life span of coatings, thereby reducing the frequency of repaint-related emissions and waste. We've formulated many of our coatings to clean easily and to resist mildew, harmful bacteria and other microbes to improve indoor and outdoor environments. We're helping our customers select the right products for their unique projects, and our Twist and Pour™ recyclable containers allow consumers to store their unused paint. For more than 140 years, Sherwin-Williams has been at the forefront of coating innovation and service. To earn the trust of our customers, our employees and shareholders, we follow Seven Guiding Values: Integrity, People, Service, Quality, Performance, Innovation and Growth. Our more than 30,000 employees form a service-driven company whose capabilities and resources are unmatched in the coating industry. Consistently recognized as one of the top 100 companies to work for by Fortune magazine, our team is highly motivated to provide solutions that help our customers succeed.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating System™ was developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) to provide a consistent, credible set of standards for environmentally sustainable construction. According to USGBC, LEED® Green Building Rating System™ encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria. The LEED® Guidelines for Paints, Coatings and Primers vary from one LEED® Program to another. It is important to understand that not all LEED® programs are the same for paint. Categories may change, and most LEED® programs exclude exterior product selections. It is always recommended that you consult with a Sherwin-Williams Company Representative prior to making final selections. Canadian Green Building Council (CaGBC) The Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) accelerates the design and construction of green buildings in Canada. They are a broad-based inclusive coalition of representatives from different segments of the design and building industry. The LEED® Guidelines for Paints, Coatings and Primers vary from USGBC and CaGBC. It is always recommended that you consult with a Sherwin-Williams Company Representative prior to making final selections. National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) National Green Building Program™. “Through the National Green Building Program, the National Association of Home Builders is helping its members move the practice of green building into the mainstream. Energy efficiency, water and resource conservation, sustainable or recycled products, and indoor air quality are increasingly incorporated into the everyday process of home building.” According to NAHB, The National Green Building Program offers several resources and tools to help builders, remodelers, home building associations, and homeowners learn how to build green, and the benefits of doing so. The National Green Building Program was developed to link dozens of successful state and local voluntary green building programs with a national online scoring tool for builders and verifiers. Master Painters Institute™ (MPI) created their Green Performance™ Standard and recently MPI announced the release of its second MPI Green Performance™ Standard for paint and coatings. These standards are designated MPI GPS-1-08 and MPI GPS-2-08. According to MPI, GPS-1-08 is a fine-tuned version of the MPI GPS was first introduced in 2005. MPI, GPS-2-08 is the newest standard, with 50 g/L VOC maximums.

California Air Resources Board (CARB) “The California Air Resources Board is a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency, an organization which reports directly to the Governor's Office in the Executive Branch of California State Government.” According to CARB, their Mission is: To promote and protect public health, welfare and ecological resources through the effective and efficient reduction of air pollutants while recognizing and considering the effects on the economy of the state. South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) “The South Coast AQMD believes all residents have a right to live and work in an environment of clean air and is committed to undertaking all necessary steps to protect public health from air pollution, with sensitivity to the impacts of its actions on the community and businesses.” According to SCAQMD, their Mission is: The South Coast AQMD believes that all who live or work in this area have a right to breathe clean air. AQMD is committed to undertaking all necessary steps to protect public health from air pollution, with sensitivity to the impacts of its actions on the community and businesses. This is accomplished through a comprehensive program of planning, regulation, compliance assistance, enforcement, monitoring, technology advancement, and public education. Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) “The Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) is a multi-state organization created under the Clean Air Act (CAA). We are responsible for advising EPA on transport issues and for developing and implementing regional solutions to the ground-level ozone problem in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.” “OTC brings together the states from Virginia to Maine to coordinate reductions in air pollution that benefit the whole region. We provide air pollution assessment, technical support and a forum through which states can work together to harmonize their pollution reduction strategies. OTC members include: Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia.”

The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) “is an industry-independent, non-profit organization that oversees the GREENGUARD Certification Programsm. As an ANSI Authorized Standards Developer, GEI establishes acceptable indoor air standards for indoor products, environments, and buildings. GEI’s mission is to improve public health and quality of life through programs that improve indoor air. A GEI Advisory Board consisting of independent volunteers, who are renowned experts in the areas of indoor air quality, public and environmental health, building design and construction, and public policy, provides guidance and leadership to GEI.” Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) “The mission of the Collaborative for High Performance Schools is to facilitate the design, construction and operation of high performance schools: environments that are not only energy and resource efficient, but also healthy, comfortable, well lit, and containing the amenities for a quality education.” “CHPS helps facilitate and inspire change in our educational system. The goals of CHPS are to: Increase student performance with better-designed and healthier facilities, Raise awareness of the impact and advantages of high performance schools, Provide professionals with better tools to facilitate effective design, construction and maintenance of high performance schools, Increase school energy and resource efficiency, and Reduce peak electric loads.” ”The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) rating program criteria scoring includes points for Low-emitting Materials under Credit EQ 2.2. This credit requires products to be tested in accordance with the California Department of Health Services (CDHS) Standard PracticeA, as referenced below, and meet its allowable emission limits. Section 6 of the CDHS Standard Practice defines the provisions required for “Acceptable Alternatives to its Practice”.

As an acceptable alternative, products certified under GREENGUARD Children & Schools Program (C&S) are eligible for CHPS EQ2.2 points

PIEACP stands for Performance/Intent Equivalent Alternative Compliance Path, and was established in the LEED Product Development and Maintenance Manual as “a strategy to ensure that LEED products remain technically relevant and market savvy.” The alternate compliance methods below are not intended to replace any of the existing compliance paths currently available. Rather, these methods offer alternatives to the currently available paths. Current paths shall remain in place as accepted approaches for compliance with the low-emitting materials credits, and any alterations to these current paths will be subject to public ballot. Please also note that the intent for this prerequisite remains unchanged: Reduce the quantity of indoor air contaminants that are odorous, irritating and/or harmful to the comfort and well-being of installers and occupants. The key provisions of this PIEACP are as follows: LEED for Schools Projects Teams may substitute LEED for New Construction v2.2 EQ4 Low-Emitting Materials credits in place of corresponding LEED for Schools EQ4 Low-Emitting Materials credits. LEED for Schools project teams are encouraged to use LEED for Schools EQc4 Low–Emitting Materials credits were possible, but may substitute LEED for New Construction v2.2 credit requirements as needed.

*Refer to the current MSDS/EDS for exact VOC’s. VOC’s may vary by base. New government VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) regulations continue to be implemented in the southern part of the state of California. These regulations are established by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), which is defined as most of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. They continually set lower and lower VOC limits for architectural, industrial maintenance, and traffic paints and coatings. In the 1980’s Maricopa County, Arizona adopted a VOC regulation for architectural, industrial maintenance, and traffic coatings, which is more stringent than the federal government’s national rule. Exemptions: Some exemptions from all of these rules include; aerosols, colorants added in the store, and shop-applied coatings to the product being manufactured at pre-stainers, OEMs, finishing shops and similar facilities. VOC regulations have been taken into consideration, but we suggest that you verify your product selections to meet the requirements of the area in which they are to be used *(1) Units are grams of VOC per liter of coating, including water and exempt compound.

We believe the optimal green coating should do two things: minimize the impact on air quality and deliver maximum performance. So we've developed the GreenSure® designation to help you identify the products that meet our highest green coating standards. These high performance products were designed and manufactured taking steps to reduce environmental impact and to meet or exceed the most stringent Regulatory requirements. For more information go to: swgreensure.com Harmony® is the ultimate green coating. This superior product meets or exceeds most environmental regulations, and with zero VOCs, low odor, excellent hide and a durable finish it maximizes long-term satisfaction. Harmony also has anti-microbial properties, which inhibits the growth of microbes on the surface of the paint film. Of course, for the ultimate in durability, washability, and a beautiful finish, there’s Duration Home® Using rigid ASTM standards, independent labs prove Duration Home’s superior washability and color retention. Its low VOC, low odor formula won’t disrupt occupants, and the anti-microbial formula inhibits the growth of microbes on the surface of the paint film. The highly washable finish means fewer repaints, so walls look great for years. Here’s another interesting statistic: In just the past few years, 90% of homebuyers say they’d pay as much as $5000 more to build a ‘Green’ home. So it’s more important than ever that Builders Solution® has earned GreenSure status. Long preferred for high-end new residential construction thanks to its premium finish and easy touch-up, the Builders Solution topcoat is also low VOC. That makes it a perfect choice when you need to specify ‘green’ construction materials. Not only do Duration Home, Harmony, and Builders Solution carry the GreenSure logo designation, they have earned the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval - proof that you can enjoy a beautiful room while still respecting nature's beauty. Of course, when you want a coating that’s just as easy on the environment as it is on the budget, there’s ProGreen® 200. With fewer than 50 g/L VOCs, and low odor, ProGreen 200 meets or exceeds most environmental regulations, while delivering important benefits like easy application, good hide and a durable finish.

Term Definition Acrylic A paint in which the vehicle is an acrylic resin. A coating based on a polymer

containing short chain esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid.

Air Drying The most common form of curing a coating in which drying takes place by oxidation or solvent evaporation by simple exposure to air without heat or catalyst.

Alkali A compound, which has a pH value of between 7 and 14. i.e. lime, lye, caustic soda, cement, efflorescence.

Alkyd A synthetic resin which is made by the reaction of a drying oil acid, such as phthalic, maleic or succinic acid, with polyhydric alcohol such as glycerine. Vegetable oils, fatty acids and other resins are often used as modifying agents. Drying occurs by the evaporation of a solvent; curing of the resin occurs by oxidation. The more oil there is in the formula, the longer it takes to dry, (SWP, Kromik are examples of slow dry) the better the wetting properties, and the better the elasticity.

Anti-Corrosive Coating Paint made with neutral or slightly alkaline pigments and a water-resisting vehicle to be used as a primer on steel and other metals to prevent or retard corrosion.
