Rust-oleum 245517 Dtm Alkyd Enamel 1 Gallon Gloss

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 245517 is a direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel coating formulated for industrial and commercial metal protection. Part of the V7400 System, this gallon-size product delivers a high-gloss finish in a masstone tint base with a VOC content below 340 g/L, making it compliant with lower-VOC requirements. It dries tack-free in 2 to 4 hours and is engineered for one-coat coverage on properly prepared metal substrates. Licensed coating applicators, industrial painters, and facilities maintenance crews rely on this product for its corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments.

This coating is suited for moderate to slightly severe industrial environments where metal surfaces require long-term rust prevention and resistance to chipping, fading, and weathering. It also resists mild chemicals, making it appropriate for production facilities, food processing plants, and similar settings. The formulation meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities, broadening its application in regulated industries.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying any DTM coating — remove loose rust, mill scale, grease, and moisture per industry standards such as SSPC surface prep guidelines. Apply using brush, roller, or conventional spray equipment appropriate for alkyd enamels. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing. Follow all applicable local VOC regulations before use.
