Range 03 · Oil & enamel

The oil range.

Alkyd-based primers and topcoats for woodwork, metal joinery and industrial equipment. Where the surface will take a beating — railings, roofing sheets, gates, machine housings — this is the range we specify.

Red oxide alkyd primer for ferrous metal. Builds a tough, rust-inhibiting base coat on steel gates, railings, roofing sheets and structural framework.

High gloss enamel on joineryHigh gloss

Enamel Gloss

High-gloss alkyd enamel. The classic specification for wooden doors, skirting, window frames, wrought-iron gates and metal furniture.

Matt enamel on architectural metalworkMatt

Enamel Matt

An alkyd matt enamel for surfaces where a non-reflective finish is specified. Ideal for architectural metalwork where the client wants substance without shine.

Industrial quick-dry enamel on equipmentQuick dry

Industrial Quick-Dry

A fast-curing alkyd enamel for industrial and factory-line applications — gets equipment back into service in the same shift.

Application

How it goes on.

The oil range is for substrates that emulsions don't belong on. Metal, timber and equipment surfaces all benefit from primer + topcoat.

Prime first. Always.

Skipping primer on metal is the single most common failure we see. It looks fine for a month — then the rust bleeds through the topcoat and the project has to be repainted at cost.

Our oil range is formulated for brush, roller and spray application. Industrial Quick-Dry is purpose-built for spray lines.
