Sherwin-Williams is also one of the traditional global paint giants, ranking among the top three in the world for a long time, and is also the inventor of water-based latex paint, after completing the acquisition of Valspar Coatings in 2017, it has surpassed AkzoNobel to become the world's largest paint supplier, and its influence in the field of architectural coatings and furniture coatings is the world's first.
 
Sherwin-Williams is the first paint manufacturer in the United States to be registered and certified by the international organization ISO, and it is also the largest paint brand in the United States with the most comprehensive product range. According to Statistic's survey data, in 2015, the share of Sherwin-Williams brand in the North American market alone was as high as 39.7%, and if Valspar is included, it has occupied half of the U.S. architectural coatings market, and is booming in North America.
 
Although Sherwin-Williams has entered China in 2018 and has several factories in China, its main business in China is heavy anti-corrosion and marine coatings, industrial coatings and automotive coatings.
 
Judging from the online e-commerce website of home furnishing for many years, Sherwin-Williams has not many products on sale, the name is more abstract, not as dazzling as the name of domestic paint, the whole line is original imported, even the lowest end of the product price is more than 100 yuan / liter, mainly including conventional indoor latex paint ProMar (Pule), CashMere (Silk Beauty), Eco Select (Eco), Harmony (Huankang), Duration (Jiuxin) and Superpaint/ SOLO two projection paints, most of the products have matte (flat) and eggshell light two gloss options, compared with the domestic latex paint matte paint, this is also a feature of the original imported latex paint.
 
ProMar (Pule), CashMere (Silk Beauty), Eco Select (Eco) from the price point of view are only the entry level of imported products, the price is about 100 yuan / liter, because it is imported from the United States, so the minimum has also passed the "low VOC standard" of the United States Green Guard, the VOC content is not higher than 50g/L, and the limit is much lower than the national standard and the ten ring certification.
 
These two series have reached the "zero VOC" standard of the American Green Guard, and the VOC content will not be higher than 5g/L, and the measured content will be less than 2g/L, so it can be used in children's rooms. The environmental protection of Simei is slightly worse, and it can only meet the "low VOC standard" in the American Green Guard certification, with the measured VOC content of 15g/L and free formaldehyde of 31mg/KG.
 
However, people who choose imported coatings are generally aiming for high quality, so it is more recommended to 130-150 yuan/liter of Harmony (Huankang) and Duration (Jiuxin), from the price point of view, Jiuxin's positioning is slightly higher than Huankang, and the flagship products in domestic paint are lower. Among them, Huankang focuses on high environmental protection, and has reached the gold certification of the American Green Guard, with a VOC of less than 5g/liter, which is suitable for children's rooms. Jiuxin measured the VOC content of 5g/L, slightly higher than Huankang, focusing on mildew resistance, stain resistance, scrub resistance, anti-fouling performance up to 85, scrub resistance of more than 15,000 times, suitable for kitchens and other areas with heavy oil stains that need to be cleaned frequently.
 
Superpaint/SOLO projection paint is a special product of Sherwin-Williams, this type of domestic paint is very rare, the price is as high as 240-350 yuan / liter, of which SOLO is the latest generation, higher positioning. As the name suggests, projection paint is a latex paint brushed on the wall to replace the traditional curtain, designed for the video projection industry, suitable for home theaters, exhibition and sales point displays, conference rooms, and large venues.
 
It should be noted that Sherwin-Williams latex paint due to the addition of less bleach, so the whiteness will not be very high, the color is grayish, so it is more recommended to use the tinting service provided by the home furnishing for many years, and the light color is free, in addition, the amount of Sherwin-Williams latex paint is much lower than that of domestic paint, generally below 10%, and the official recommendation is not to use water, so the amount and construction difficulty will be relatively greater.
 
In addition, the purchase of Sherwin-Williams latex paint should also avoid the problem of soil and water adaptation, Sherwin-Williams latex paint is more suitable for low alkaline putty layer, if the base surface is strong alkaline cement putty, in the primer brushing link is not done well, there may be a problem of alkali return in the later stage. In addition, the current Sherwin-Williams latex paint is imported from the United States, so except for imported Chinese labels, all words are in English, the so-called Xuanwei, Xuanwei XX, and American Xuanwei XX are all copycat products, and Sherwin-Williams has nothing to do with it, pay attention to screening when purchasing.
