Rust-oleum 208042 Beyond Acrylic Enamel Satin Tint Base 1 Gal

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 208042 is a water-based acrylic enamel coating formulated for professional-grade results with low VOCs, low HAPs, and low solvent odor. It delivers a smooth satin finish with superior resistance to chipping, cracking, and peeling. The single-component formula requires no mixing and dries in 30 minutes, making it a practical choice for occupied facilities where minimizing downtime and fume exposure is critical. Painters, maintenance contractors, and facilities managers apply it to a wide range of primed or previously painted surfaces. This 1-gallon container ships as a tint base for custom color matching.

This coating is designed for both interior and exterior applications where hygiene and durability are priorities. It is well suited for schools, cafeterias, commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, and other environments where paint fumes or chemical odors present a problem. The formula is impervious to moisture, supports routine cleaning and sanitization, and meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact areas. Applicable surfaces include primed or painted metal, concrete, masonry, wood, drywall, and tile.
