Sherwin-Williams' WeatherXL™ Coil Coating System
Superior Durability
WeatherXL™ is a better and more durable version of Sherwin-Williams' silicone-modified polyester (SMP) coating resin system that is designed to go where it will be abused.
It was created to withstand almost anything and features superior weatherability, tremendous color and gloss retention, resistance to chalking, fading and scratching, and extreme resistance to abrasion, chipping and marring.
Multitude of Applications
WeatherXL™ may be applied to a number of pretreated substrates such as aluminum, Galvalume®, and hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel.
It is ideal for a variety of residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural applications such as: metal building components, metal roofing, metal wall panels, pre-engineered metal building systems, siding, gutters, downspouts, and much more.
A Choice of Distinctive Colors
WeatherXL™ coatings are available in a wide palette of
colors and feature outstanding consistency and exceptional gloss retention.
These cool coating formulations help lower the overall temperature of the structures, enabling savings on energy costs, all while providing exceptional durability.
