Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine – a leading provider of durable high-performance flooring, wall systems, coatings and roofing systems for pharmaceutical and life science facilities – will have a significant presence at INTERPHEX 2024, an annual conference that brings together engineers, manufacturers, executives and professionals in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

Company experts will be at Booth 2569 to discuss current industry trends and technology throughout the conference from April 16 to 18, 2024, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.

They also will emphasize a variety of unique services and solutions for these industries – including the delivery of proactive site audits to identify areas of concern prior to regulator inspections and protective solutions for clean rooms, chemical storage, Food and Drug Administration-approved tank linings, secondary containment around chemical tanks, and flooring for every area within a facility.

“At INTERPHEX, we are eager to show how our products can help facilities minimize downtime and maintenance costs, keep assets and operations running – and address the unique challenges faced by biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities,” said Mike C. Durbin, Market Segment Manager, Pharmaceutical and Data Centers, Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine. “In addition, our team of dedicated experts looks forward to engaging with attendees to discuss the latest industry trends in resinous flooring and other coating technologies, as well as how we can support their unique requirements.”

Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine floor and wall systems used in bioscience facility settings are designed to help prevent contamination of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), bulk biological substances and medical devices, while offering outstanding chemical resistance, hygienic properties, long-term wear, non-porous surfaces and integral cove bases.

With a focus on longevity, regulatory compliance and maximizing facility assets, Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine experts at INTERPHEX will detail how the Company’s comprehensive suite of high-performing products have a range of applications, including hygienic surface protection in clean rooms, research laboratories, manufacturing plants, packaging and storage, employee welfare areas and others.

The Company will also offer demonstrations of the Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring Visualizer – a new tool for architects, engineers, designers and contractors that enables easy exploration of an array of flooring options, from standard designs to personalized blends, that users can tailor to their project needs. The free web-based tool offers customizable features that allow for creative exploration of color combinations and decorative aggregate sizes to bring flooring visions to life.

The design platform comes preloaded with common commercial and industrial settings, including a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility and other environments. The visualizer tool incorporates a comprehensive range of Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring options, including decorative flake, quartz, metallic and solid-colored systems and is the only tool of its kind to offer customizable visualization of terrazzo systems.
