Steel-It Polyurethane Topcoat products feature custom-engineered, 316L stainless steel flake and provides superior protection against corrosion, abrasion, salt, alkalis and other chemicals. Withstands high-pressure washdowns and detergents without chipping or flaking.
STEEL-IT 1002G Polyurethane Topcoat is a single-component, stainless steel-filled coating that delivers outstanding resistance to corrosion, abrasion, UV rays, moisture, salt spray, and harsh chemicals. Formulated with custom-engineered 316L stainless steel leafing pigment, this brush-grade topcoat creates a hard, metallic finish that is both protective and weldable. It can be applied directly to metal, making it an excellent choice for industrial, construction, automotive, and marine applications where long-term durability and appearance are critical.
