With the rising cost of labor and raw materials, Direct to Metal coatings that actually work, just seem to make good sense. With rust inhibitors built into the finish coat, this product eliminates the need for primer, and a labor step.

In a corrosive environment, surfaces that are not properly protected can begin to rust almost immediately. With today’s high cost of equipment and manufacturing, it is necessary to realize the importance of a proper protective coating. One company with a good reputation for such coatings is Coastline Industrial Coatings.

A special anti-corrosive, Direct to Metal top-coat developed and manufactured by Coastline Industrial Coatings provides excellent weather and corrosive protection, bonding, hide and coverage, and can be applied directly to heavy equipment, railing, skids, pipes, cranes, tanks, oilfield machinery, trucks, tractors, ect. without the use of a primer. This product is called IF-173 DTM and is available in any color.

Coastline’s waterbase and solvent based coatings are manufactured with an acrylic base to ensure a high gloss, something other companies have had problems doing. After being used for 10 + years in industries such as chemical plants, compressors, hydraulics, steel fabricators, tank and equipment industries, and oil & gas fields, Coastline’s DTM exhibits superior protection with no chalking or fading. It is also formulated with UV absorbers which keep the white from yellowing.
