Rust-oleum 964402 Dtm Alkyd Enamel Paint 1 Gal Safety Red

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 964402 is a high-performance direct-to-metal (DTM) alkyd enamel coating formulated for industrial and commercial applications where corrosion resistance is the primary requirement. Part of the 7400 System line, this 1-gallon unit delivers a high-gloss Safety Red finish with high-solids coverage in a single coat. The formula carries a VOC content of 450 grams per liter and dries tack-free in 2 to 4 hours. It is designed for application by industrial painters, maintenance crews, and trade professionals working in moderate to slightly severe industrial environments.

This coating is suited for use on metal structures, equipment, and fabrications that require durable rust-preventative protection. The 450 VOC alkyd enamel resists chipping, fading, and weathering, making it appropriate for both interior and exterior metal surfaces in industrial facilities. It meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact and is accepted for use in federally registered Canadian food facilities, expanding its suitability to food processing and related environments. The Safety Red color and gloss finish also support visibility and safety marking applications on equipment and structural elements.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before application — remove loose rust, mill scale, grease, and contaminants per the manufacturer and applicable industrial coating standards.
