Key Features of Rust Oleum Specialist Paints

• Zinc-rich cathodic protection: The 1017 is based on an epoxy ester resin with 80% pure zinc and 10% aluminium pigments. It protects steel and galvanised metal, and leaves a bright aluminium finish.
• Brush-applied touch-up: Zinc paints suit repairing worn or damaged galvanising on site, without re-dipping or specialist equipment.
• Heat resistance: Hard Hat Heat Resistant Paint is made for surfaces that get hot, such as flues, exhausts and boilers, where ordinary paint would blister or discolour.
• Roof-specific formulation: Dac Hydro Plus is designed for tiled roofs, helping refresh weathered tiles and protect them from the elements.
• Rapid curing: Tarmacoat road line paint cures quickly, so car parks and access roads can return to use sooner.
• Repair compounds: The epoxy mortar and asphalt and concrete repair products fill damage and give a firm base to work from.
