Rust-oleum 245475 Dtm Alkyd Enamel Paint 5 Gallon Safety Blue

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 245475 is a high-performance, direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel formulated for industrial and commercial metal protection. This 5-gallon container delivers a high-gloss Safety Blue finish with one-coat coverage and a low-VOC formula at under 340 g/L. The coating dries tack-free in 2 to 4 hours and provides maximum corrosion resistance for ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces. Maintenance painters, industrial coating contractors, and facility maintenance crews apply this product in environments ranging from moderate to slightly severe industrial conditions.

This coating is suited for interior and exterior metal surfaces in industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, food processing environments, and commercial buildings. It meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities, making it appropriate for food and beverage processing applications. The 5-gallon size is sized for large-scale maintenance and new construction projects requiring broad surface coverage.

Key Features

• Direct-to-metal (DTM) formula eliminates the need for a separate primer on clean, prepared metal surfaces
• High-gloss finish with one-coat coverage reduces labor time
• Low-VOC formulation at under 340 g/L supports compliance in regulated environments
• Resists chipping, fading, and weathering for long-term durability
• Protects against mild chemicals in moderate to slightly severe industrial environments
• Meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact; accepted in federally registered Canadian food facilities

Compatibility

Designed for use as a direct-to-metal topcoat on ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces. For maximum corrosion protection, Rust-Oleum recommends applying over a V7400 System primer.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before application — remove rust, loose paint, oil, and contaminants per standard SSPC surface prep guidelines. Apply in accordance with local VOC regulations and ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed spaces. Allow full cure time before exposing the coated surface to chemical contact or mechanical stress. Industrial coating applicators should follow OSHA standards for respiratory protection when spraying.
