Overview: Semiconductor fabrication facilities operate in one of the most aggressive and precision-driven manufacturing environments in the world. From highly corrosive acids and solvents to stringent cleanroom contamination controls, every surface – from floors and walls to structural assets and wastewater systems – must perform flawlessly under constant chemical exposure. This webinar will explore how advanced chemical-resistant coating systems are engineered to protect critical infrastructure across semiconductor campuses, including fabs, central utility buildings and water/wastewater treatment areas. Attendees will gain insight into how high-performance coatings serve as a first line of defense against corrosion, chemical attack and airborne contamination. They’ll learn how those coatings help to extend asset life, maintain cleanroom integrity and reduce costly downtime. The session will also examine coating system selection considerations based on exposure conditions, cleanroom classifications and operational demands, as well as the role of low-VOC and contamination-resistant technologies in supporting yield and process reliability. Finally, the presenters will discuss how properly specified and applied coatings can accelerate construction schedules, streamline maintenance and support long-term operational efficiency for the semiconductor market. Learning Objectives: Understand the unique chemical, corrosion and contamination challenges within semiconductor manufacturing environments Identify where chemical-resistant coatings are most critical across fab campuses (e.g., cleanrooms, utilities and wastewater systems) Evaluate different coating technologies (e.g., epoxy, novolacs and specialty systems) based on exposure conditions Recognize how coatings contribute to contamination control, cleanroom performance and wafer yield Presented by:  Timothy McDonough Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Timothy McDonough is a Construction Solutions Executive dedicated to the Semiconductor Manufacturing Market at Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine.  Tim has been in the protective and marine coatings industry since 1993 and through his tenure has served multiple markets segments; including marine, steel fabrication, bridge and highway and water/wastewater treatment.  He is an AMPP Senior Certified Coatings Inspector (#4502).  Tim earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland Baltimore County.
