Sherwin-Williams 150-Year History of Innovation 1866 1941 2011 2013 1866: Henry Sherwin and Edward Williams opened first paint store 1941: Sherwin-Williams introduces Kem-Tone, a revolutionary water-based paint 1950: Super Kem-Tone is unveiled, our first latex paint that provided a highly scrubbable finish. 2011: Sherwin-Williams enhances ProMar 200, to become the first zero VOC paint with antimicrobial agents that would inhibit mold and mildew on the paint film 2013: Sherwin-Williams revamps Harmony, making it the first paint with Odor-Eliminating & Formaldehyde-Reducing technologies
Sherwin-Williams Latest Innovation Sherwin-Williams has developed Paint Shield the first EPA-registered microbicidal paint, that kills 99.9% of indicated pathogens* within 2 hours of exposure on a painted surface. *Staph (Staphylococcus aureus) *MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) *E. coli (Escherichia coli) *VRE (Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis) and *Enterobacter aerogenes 3
WHY PAINT SHIELD? 4
Hospital acquired infections (HAIs) are a critical challenge to public health One in 25 patients in US hospitals has an infection acquired as part of his/her care* Patients visit a hospital or doctor s office to get well Today and everyday, more than 200 Americans with healthcare-associated infections will die during their hospital stay* By killing certain infectious pathogens on painted surfaces, Paint Shield offers hospitals and other facilities an important new tool to help combat bacteria that can cause HAIs Paint Shield kills greater than 99.9% of indicated pathogens** on a painted surface within 2 hours of exposure S-W scientists & microbiologists collaborated on how paint could help reduce the spread of HAIs *http://www.cdc.gov/hai/surveillance/ http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2014/p0326-hospitalpatients.html **Staph (Staphylococcus aureus), MRSA, E. coli, VRE and Enterobacter aerogenes

The Science Behind Paint Shield 7
How Paint Shield Works The active ingredient in Paint Shield is a quaternary ammonium compound (Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride) Commonly known in the healthcare and maintenance industries as quat Quat has proven bacteria-killing capabilities Proven Microbicide + Waterborne Paint For the first time ever, Sherwin-Williams has successfully suspended this compound durably and effectively in a paint product 8
How Paint Shield Works Paint Shield delivers continuous protection by killing the following dangerous infectious pathogens: Staph (Staphyloccus aureus), MRSA, E. coli (Escherichia coli), VRE and Enterobacter aerogenes Paint Shield is the first EPA-registered paint that kills 99.9% of indicated pathogens within 2 hours of exposure on the paint film Continues to kill 90% of bacteria even after repeated contamination of painted surfaces It s effectiveness lasts for up to 4 years when surface integrity is maintained 9
Proven Performance Paint Shield is the first EPA-registered microbicidal paint Federal EPA Registration accepted on 9/21/15 Successfully completed third-party lab tests to validate its public health claims Paint Shield is the only product that can claim it continuously kills bacteria on the painted surface within 2 hours EPA test protocol found that the Paint Shield product remains effective for up to four years if the surface integrity is maintained 10
What s the Difference Between Antimicrobial and Microbicidal? 11
Sherwin-Williams Product Positioning First Zero VOC paint with anti-microbial agents that inhibit growth of mold and mildew on paint film Industry standard Upgrade First with odoreliminating technology First with formaldehyde-reducing technology Anti-microbial agents inhibit growth of mold and mildew on painted surface First EPA-registered microbicidal paint with the power to kill certain infectious bacteria Product performance is equal to or better than Harmony Excellent hide Lasting durability 12
Where to Use Paint Shield Interior, Hard, Non-Porous Surfaces Walls Doors Trim 13
Where NOT to Use Paint Shield Floors Exterior Surfaces Operating Rooms 14
Why Paint Shield? Paint Shield s proven ability to not just inhibit but kills certain dangerous pathogens that cause HAIs Paint Shield has excellent hide, easy application qualities, and lasting durability just what s expected of a premium Sherwin-Williams coating Once again, Sherwin-Williams didn t just raise the bar, it re-defined it, with the introduction of a coating unlike anything the industry has ever seen! 15
