Sherwin-Williams Resuwall FX Interior Flexible
Wall System is a multilayer, high build wall surfacing
system that utilizes two coats of a flexible epoxy 3
2

and gloss retention. This unique system offers a

competitive advantage over reinforced rigid epoxy
systems while providing superior crack bridging and
impact resistance.
