Vapor Coatings for Metal Tools
Stick these adhesive-backed products inside electrical enclosures, tool boxes, and cabinets to coat metal components—they emit a corrosion-inhibiting vapor for up to two years.
Strip is narrow for use tight spots.
Vapor cup has a slow-release membrane and won't break apart.
Clean-Away Coatings for Metal
Protect metal parts from corrosion. Also known as rust-inhibiting film, these coatings can be removed with a simple degreaser or mineral spirits.
Wax coatings meet MIL-C-16173 for corrosion-resistant compounds that dry to thin, easily removable films. Grade 4 coatings dry to a nontacky finish that’s suitable for environments exposed to high humidity and chemicals. Grade 2 coatings dry to a slightly tacky, self-healing film that lubricates as it protects.
Mineral oil coatings don’t fully dry, so they leave a tacky film. Coating with a maximum temperature of 250° F lubricates as it protects and can be used as a start-up lubricant for stored machinery.
Coatings in a jug can be dipped, brushed, or sprayed.
Coatings that cannot be sold to the regions listed are restricted by product labeling requirements or exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

These coatings are NSF registered H1 for incidental food contact. Designed to protect food-processing equipment from corrosion after washdowns, use them to seal metal surfaces, resist moisture, and lubricate moving parts between processes.
Rust-Blocking Urethane Coatings for Metal
Apply these coatings directly to rust to prevent it from spreading and to stop new rust from forming. Often used on containers, trailers, and in marine restoration, they create a durable, impact-resistant surface that permanently stops rust. Remove loose rust and dirt before application. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. Coatings cannot be sold to the regions listed because they exceed local regulatory limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).

Polyurethane Coatings for Metal
These polyurethane-based coatings resist moisture, corrosion, abrasion, and impact better than paint and have excellent color retention. They're often used as a topcoat over epoxy coatings. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. They cannot be sold to the regions listed due to local chemical regulations, including limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).
Safety-color coatings come in colors approved by OSHA to color-code safety equipment locations, physical hazards, and protective equipment. Safety red indicates danger and is often used on fire protection equipment, containers for flammable liquid, and switches on machinery. Safety orange indicates hazards and is often used on warning signs, construction equipment, and unguarded edges. Safety yellow indicates caution and is often used on tripping hazards, exposed edges, and start buttons. Safety green indicates general safety and is often used to identify first aid kits and other medical equipment and to explain safety procedures. Safety blue is used on “out of order,” “employees only,” and other general-information signs.

Protective Coatings
Used to insulate, create grips, and color-code components, these coatings resist high temperatures, light abrasion, and corrosion.
Rubber coatings withstand salt and acids. Although primer is not required for use on all materials, it can be used to prepare any surface to maximize the life of the coating. Apply topcoat to give coated surfaces a glossy finish that resists fading.
PVC plastic coatings can be used on nearly any surface, including rubber. They withstand salt, acids, alkalies, and gasoline. They also resist UV light, so they won’t lose their color when exposed to sunlight over long periods of time.
Coatings in a can can be dipped, brushed, or sprayed.
Coatings that cannot be sold outside of the United States do not meet product labeling requirements.
