Rust-oleum 297081 Dtm Epoxy Mastic 5 Gal Safety Orange

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 297081 is a high-performance, two-component direct-to-metal (DTM) epoxy mastic coating sold in a 5-gallon container in Safety Orange gloss finish. Designed for industrial and commercial protective coating applications, this product bonds directly to metal and a range of other substrates without a separate primer coat. It delivers superior long-term resistance to solvents, chemicals, abrasion, and impact. A convenient 1:1 mixing ratio eliminates the need for separate measuring. The unit weighs 63 pounds. Licensed coating contractors and industrial painters are the primary installers, though experienced maintenance tradespeople also apply this product in facility upkeep scenarios.

This coating is suited for use on steel, concrete, and other prepared substrates in both commercial and industrial environments. It is appropriate for floor-coating applications and surfaces requiring corrosion protection in demanding service conditions. The formulation meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities. Multiple activator options allow this coating to be applied across a range of temperature conditions and service environments, including fresh and salt water immersion applications when paired with the appropriate activator.

Key Features

• Direct-to-metal self-priming formula bonds to a variety of substrates without a primer coat
• 1:1 mixing ratio requires no separate measuring equipment
• Superior resistance to solvents, chemicals, abrasion, and impact
• Two-year rust-proof guarantee for maximum corrosion protection
• Meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact; accepted in federally registered Canadian food facilities
• Multiple activator options including Standard, Immersion, Low-Temperature, and Fast-Cure for varied application conditions
• Less than 340 VOCs

Compatibility

Designed for use with separately purchased RUST-OLEUM 9100 System activators including Standard, Immersion, Low-Temperature, and Fast-Cure variants. Suitable for application over steel, concrete, and other properly prepared substrates. The Immersion Activator is rated for fresh or salt water immersion of steel or concrete where water temperatures do not exceed 125 degrees F; it is not for use in potable water tanks.

Installation Notes

This is a two-component system — the base color and activator must be ordered and mixed separately before application. Surface preparation is critical; follow standard industrial coating practices for cleaning and abrading the substrate prior to application. Apply only when air and surface temperatures fall within the range specified for the chosen activator. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and respiratory protection when mixing and applying solvent-borne epoxy coatings.
