About Sprayon: Industrial MRO Solutions Since 1968

Sprayon has built a half-century reputation as one of the most dependable names in industrial maintenance and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) chemistry. Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, Sprayon operates today as part of the Sherwin-Williams family of brands — a connection that brings vast technical resources and formulation expertise to every aerosol can and specialty product in the lineup.

The brand's core mission is straightforward: help maintenance professionals preserve and protect valuable equipment, reduce costly downtime, and keep facilities running at peak efficiency. That mission has driven decades of product innovation across a remarkably broad range of chemical categories, from lubricants and degreasers to coatings, sealants, and layout fluids.

A Broad Product Range Built for Demanding Environments

What sets Sprayon apart is its ability to address the full spectrum of industrial maintenance needs under a single, trusted brand. The product lineup includes cleaners, degreasers, mold release agents, welding supplies, food-grade lubricants, and much more — all engineered to perform in demanding shop floor, manufacturing, and MRO environments.

Among Sprayon's most sought-after offerings are its Specialty Coatings & Paints, which range from high-temperature galvanize coatings to alkyd enamels designed to restore and protect metal surfaces. These aren't decorative products — they're engineered for adhesion, corrosion resistance, and durability in harsh industrial conditions. Complementing these are Sprayon's Spray Paints, which include fast-drying aerosol formulations ideal for equipment touch-ups, color-coding, and surface markings across facilities and job sites.

For precision metalworking and fabrication, Sprayon's layout fluids and scribe products are a go-to for machinists, welders, and fabricators who need a high-contrast, even coating on metal surfaces before scribing or cutting. These products apply quickly, dry fast, and provide the sharp contrast needed for accurate layout work.

On the sealing and lubrication side, Sprayon offers RTV Silicone sealants that form tough, flexible bonds across a wide range of substrates — including metal, glass, plastic, ceramic, and masonry — making them versatile for both maintenance repairs and new installations. Alongside these, Sprayon's Silicone Grease and lubricant products deliver long-lasting protection for moving parts, with food-grade and general-purpose formulations available to suit a variety of operating environments.

The Sprayon 5S System

One particularly innovative aspect of the Sprayon brand is the Sprayon 5S System — a visual management approach that integrates the product lineup with a color-coded identification framework. This helps facilities implement and sustain 5S workplace organization methodology in their use of chemicals and lubricants, reducing misuse and improving safety compliance on the shop floor.
