Rust-oleum 255618 CV740 Dtm Alkyd Enamel 1 Gal Masstone

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 255618 is a ready-to-use, direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel coating formulated for commercial and industrial applications. Part of the CV740 System 100 VOC line, it delivers a high-gloss finish with strong rust resistance, coverage, and hide on bare or previously coated metal surfaces. The masstone tint base allows for color customization. Weighing 9.09 pounds per gallon, this formula requires no measuring or mixing and can be applied by brush, roller, or spray equipment. It is suited for facilities that require low-VOC coatings without sacrificing durability.

This coating is designed for everyday commercial use on metal substrates including trim, structural steel, handrails, and cabinets. It resists rust, chipping, general weathering, mild chemical fumes, and light abrasion. The formula meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food processing facilities, making it a practical choice for food-service and light industrial environments.
