Rust-oleum 1868838 Safety Purple Marking Paint 17 Oz

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 1868838 is a 17 fluid ounce aerosol marking paint formulated for outdoor surface layout and utility marking. It delivers a safety purple stripe and uses a water-based composition, making it suitable for job sites where low-VOC or water-based materials are specified. Each can covers 600 to 700 linear feet at 1 inch wide, giving trades a reliable output estimate before the job starts. The formula is rated for use between 40 degrees F and 90 degrees F, keeping it practical across a wide range of field conditions. Installers, utility crews, and contractors use this can to mark lines, boundaries, and subsurface utility locations on concrete and similar hard outdoor surfaces.

This marking paint is intended for outdoor use on concrete and comparable hard surfaces. It is commonly applied during pre-dig surveys, site layout, and utility locating operations. The safety purple color follows industry convention for marking reclaimed water, irrigation, and slurry lines. It applies in a controlled 1-inch stripe, which keeps markings legible and consistent across a layout area without excessive overspray.

Shake the can thoroughly before use and test the spray pattern on a scrap surface before marking the work area. Apply only within the stated temperature range of 40 to 90 degrees F for proper adhesion and coverage. Store the can upright away from heat sources when not in use.
