Civil Infrastructure
Airports, ports, data centers, stadiums and railways: long-term protection for infrastructure assets that cannot stop.
Infrastructure that protects what keeps the world running
Data centers keep the digital world running. Airports move people and cargo. Ports sustain entire export chains. Railways carry commodities across thousands of kilometers. These assets share one non-negotiable requirement: protection systems that last decades with minimal maintenance - because a planned shutdown costs far more than the coating maintenance itself. Sherwin-Williams P&M has reference cases in all of these markets across Latin America - and specifies systems that comply with the industry's most demanding standards.

Applications by infrastructure type
Airports
Covered steel structures: FIRETEX® FX6010 for PFP + Zinc Clad® + Acrolon® for corrosion protection. Exposed external structures: C4/C5 system with Sher-Loxane® topcoat.
Ports and marine terminals
C5-M system: inorganic Zinc Clad® + Dura-Plate® + Sher-Loxane®. Wharf structures and dolphins: splash-zone protection with an immersion system.
Railways and viaducts
Steel structures exposed to urban C3/C4 environments: zinc-rich primer + epoxy intermediate + polyurethane or polysiloxane topcoat per environment category.
Stadiums and arenas
Metal roofing and steel structure with aesthetic requirements: Zinc Clad® + Macropoxy® + Acrolon® or Sher-Loxane® with a project-specific color scheme.
Road bridges and viaducts
DNIT/ABNT-type corrosion protection system: inorganic zinc primer + epoxy intermediate + PU or polysiloxane finish - C3 to C5 per exposure category.
