Rust-oleum 245405 Dtm Alkyd Enamel 5 Gal Black Gloss

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 245405 is a high-performance, direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel formulated for industrial and commercial metal coating applications. Part of the V7400 System 340 VOC line, it delivers a high-gloss finish with one-coat coverage and dries tack-free in 2 to 4 hours. This 5-gallon pail contains a black, gloss-finish enamel with a VOC content under 340 g/L, making it a lower-VOC option for facilities with air-quality compliance requirements. Licensed coating applicators and industrial painters are the primary users of this product.

This enamel is suited for moderate to slightly severe industrial environments where corrosion resistance and color retention are required. It performs in settings ranging from manufacturing facilities to food-processing plants, as it meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities. Typical applications include structural steel, equipment, railings, tanks, and other bare or primed metal surfaces requiring long-term rust protection.

Key Features

• Direct-to-metal formulation — no separate primer required for many applications
• High-gloss finish with one-coat coverage
• Tack-free in 2 to 4 hours
• Resists chipping, fading, and weathering
• Protects against mild chemical exposure
• Meets USDA incidental food-contact requirements and accepted in federally registered Canadian food facilities
• VOC content under 340 g/L for lower-emission compliance

Compatibility

Designed for use on bare metal or primed metal surfaces in industrial environments. Maximum performance is achieved when used over a V7400 System primer. Best results on clean, properly prepared metal substrates.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — remove loose rust, mill scale, oil, and contaminants before application. Apply in accordance with the product data sheet and applicable local VOC regulations. Use appropriate respiratory protection and ventilation when applying solvent-based coatings in enclosed spaces. Allow full cure before exposing the coated surface to chemical contact or immersion.
