Rust-oleum 956402 Dtm Alkyd Enamel Paint 1 Gallon Safety Orange

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 956402 is a direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel coating formulated for industrial and commercial environments where corrosion protection and color retention are critical. This 1-gallon container delivers a high-gloss, Safety Orange finish with a maximum VOC content of 450 g/L. It is designed to be applied directly to bare or primed metal surfaces without a separate primer coat, saving labor time. The coating dries tack-free in 2 to 4 hours and provides a one-coat coverage finish that resists chipping, fading, and weathering. Industrial painters, maintenance crews, and facilities technicians are the primary installers of this product.

This enamel is suited for moderate to slightly severe industrial environments including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, equipment yards, and processing plants. 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 and agricultural equipment applications. The Safety Orange color is commonly specified for safety marking, equipment identification, and high-visibility industrial surfaces.
