DTM Metal Paint

Direct To Metal (DTM) Paint from Goods Exim International is a single-component coating formulated for direct application on clean, rust-free steel, aluminum, and galvanized substrates without requiring a primer. The paint adheres to metal surfaces with high bond strength and dries to the touch in under 45 minutes at 25°C. It is available in standard industrial colors including RAL 7016, RAL 9005, and RAL 3000, with custom color matching available upon request. The formulation includes alkyd-resin binders and corrosion-inhibiting pigments to ensure long-term performance in outdoor environments.

This DTM paint meets the typical industry standard for dry film thickness of 45 to 65 microns per coat, with a gloss level of 70 to 85% at 60° as measured by ASTM D523. It is solvent-based, using mineral spirits as the carrier, and complies with typical VOC limits of 350 g/L for industrial coatings in Asia. The paint resists salt spray exposure for over 500 hours per ASTM B117 and shows no blistering or delamination under standard humidity cycling tests. It is not classified as hazardous for transport under UN 1263, and is packaged in 20L steel drums or 5L plastic pails, with 10 drums per pallet.

The paint is primarily purchased by manufacturers of agricultural machinery, fencing, storage tanks, and structural steel components in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Buyers include maintenance contractors, OEMs, and fabricators who require fast turnaround on field repairs or new installations. Trade terms offered include FOB Nhava Sheva or CIF port of destination, with a minimum order quantity of 200 liters. Payment is accepted via T/T in advance or irrevocable L/C. Lead time for standard orders is 10 to 14 days after deposit confirmation.
