Rust-oleum 316537 Dtm Acrylic Enamel 5 Gal Safety Green

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 316537 is a 5-gallon pail of 3800 System DTM Acrylic Enamel in Safety Green with a gloss finish. This fast-drying, water-based coating is formulated for direct-to-metal application indoors or outdoors, eliminating the need for a separate primer. It delivers excellent corrosion resistance against mild to moderate environmental exposure and provides strong one-coat coverage. The enamel applies with minimal brush drag and lays out evenly when rolled. Licensed applicators and facilities maintenance crews typically specify this product for metal surfaces that require a durable, compliant topcoat without added prep steps.

This coating is suited for use on metal surfaces in industrial, commercial, and institutional settings where corrosion protection and a clean finish are required. It meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities, making it appropriate for food processing or food-adjacent environments. Application is recommended when ambient temperatures are between 50 and 100 degrees F and relative humidity is below 95 percent.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — remove loose paint, rust, oil, grease, and contaminants before application.
