White Enamel:A general purpose high gloss industrial enamel. This is a softer finish than an epoxy and will generally require some touch up after delivery. A relatively inexpensive paint with good color and gloss retention. Cost is slightly more than red enamel.

 

Epoxy Mastic:A high solids epoxy coating formulated to provide a high performance over steel surfaces. Excellent chemical and solvent resistance. Expensive coating system.

 

Polyurethane:A tough two-component system which produces a uniquely hard and durable coating. Excellent weatherability. Requires an abrasive blast, and a prime coat. We strongly recommend this system for industrial and public view applications.
