Industrial Direct-to-metal products for metal surfaces

Tikkurila direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings offer a cost-efficient and durable solution to safeguard against both wear and corrosion.

DTM coatings can be directly applied to metal surfaces without a primer. Furthermore, most DTM coatings can be applied in a single application. This streamlined one-coat process enhances the efficiency of DTM coatings, reducing the number of production steps and labor required. As a result, DTM paints may provide an opportunity to reduce production costs.

Our coatings and painting systems have undergone rigorous testing in both controlled laboratory environments and real-world scenarios, delivering exceptional performance. The majority of our products have received official approvals from numerous countries, further validating their quality and reliability.
