Rust-oleum 255615 CV740 Dtm Alkyd Enamel 1 Gal Safety Red

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 255615 is a ready-to-use, direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel coating formulated for commercial applications where durable protection and a high-gloss finish are required. Part of the CV740 System 100 VOC line, this 1-gallon unit ships in Safety Red and delivers strong resistance to rust, chipping, mild chemical fumes, light abrasion, and general weathering. The formula requires no measuring or mixing and can be applied by brush, roller, or spray gun, reducing setup time on the job. It meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food processing facilities.

This coating is intended for everyday commercial use on metal surfaces including structural steel, metal trim, handrails, and cabinets. It is suited for facilities that require a low-VOC, easy-to-maintain finish on high-contact or exposed metal components. The gloss finish supports cleanability in commercial and light industrial environments. For best results, Rust-Oleum recommends applying over the CV740 System Primer before topcoating with this product.
