Product Description
The Sherwin-Williams Company (founded 1866, headquartered Cleveland OH) is through the 20th century and today the largest U.S. paint and coatings manufacturer. Sherwin-Williams manufactured through the asbestos era industrial coatings, marine coatings, protective coatings, primers, and specialty finish products sold to industrial, marine, refinery, power-plant, and construction markets.
Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that certain Sherwin-Williams industrial-grade coatings, primers, and specialty finishes — particularly formulations specified for fire-protection, chemical-resistance, thermal-insulation, and marine service — contained asbestos fiber reinforcement through the documented production era and that painters, industrial-coating applicators, construction workers, and marine workers who applied, sanded, or removed asbestos-loaded Sherwin-Williams products were exposed to airborne asbestos fibers.
The Sherwin-Williams Company has been named as a Manufacturer Defendant in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation.
