Rust-oleum 245531 Dtm Alkyd Enamel Coating 5 Gallon

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 245531 is a 5-gallon pail of V7400 System 340 VOC Direct-to-Metal (DTM) Alkyd Enamel in a high-gloss finish. This coating delivers one-coat coverage and rust-preventative protection directly over prepared metal surfaces without requiring a separate primer coat, though system performance improves with a compatible V7400 primer. The formula carries a VOC content below 340 g/L, making it the lower-VOC variant of the original V7400 line. Industrial painters and maintenance crews apply this enamel in manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and structural steel applications where durable, corrosion-resistant finishes are required.

The 245531 is formulated for moderate to slightly severe industrial environments. It resists chipping, fading, and weathering, and offers resistance to mild chemical exposure. The coating meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food processing facilities, making it a viable choice for food and beverage plant maintenance work where surface coating compliance is required.
