Manor DTM Prokote Paint

Manor DTM Prokote Paint Overview

Manor Prokote DTM (Direct to Metal) is a premium, high-solids alkyd primer-finish designed specifically for the industrial fabrication and refurbishment sectors. Engineered to deliver speed, efficiency, and durability, this coating eliminates the need for a separate primer, allowing you to achieve a high-gloss, anti-corrosive finish in a single application.

For steel fabricators, skip manufacturers, and machinery restorers, time is money. Prokote DTM reduces labour costs and turnaround times by combining the active rust-inhibiting properties of a zinc phosphate primer with the aesthetic appeal and weather resistance of a high-quality topcoat.

Key Features & Benefits

• Direct to Metal Adhesion: Bonds aggressively to bare mild steel and shot-blasted surfaces without a separate primer.

• Active Rust Protection: Contains high levels of Zinc Phosphate for long-term corrosion resistance.

• Cost Effective: Reduces material usage and application time by acting as a "One Coat" system.

• Rapid Drying: Touch dry in 2–3 hours (at 20°C), allowing for faster handling and movement of stock.

• High Gloss Retention: Available in a deep High Gloss (typically 80-90% sheen) that resists chalking and fading.

• Versatile Application: Can be applied via Airless Spray, Conventional Spray (pressure pot), Brush, or Roller.

Ideal Applications

Manor Prokote DTM is the preferred choice for industrial applications where durability and aesthetic finish are required in a single operation:

• Waste Containers & Skips: Tough resistance to knocks and abrasion.

• Structural Steelwork: For barns, warehouses, and external cladding.

• Portable Cabins & Modular Buildings: Provides a weather-tight seal for steel frames.

• Industrial Machinery: Heavy-duty protection for cranes, compactors, and agricultural trailers.

• Chassis & Metal Railings: Excellent edge coverage for intricate metalwork.
