The paint’s urethane-modified alkyd base provides excellent adhesion and superior rust-inhibitive properties, making it ideal for protecting metal structures in environments ranging from light industrial settings to domestic use.
What sets CombiColor Original apart is its ease of application. It can be applied by brush, roller, or spray, and its sag-resistant formula ensures a smooth, professional finish with minimal effort. The product is also designed to perform well in various weather conditions, maintaining its integrity even when applied at temperatures as low as 5°C. With a coverage rate of approximately 10.3 m² per litre, CombiColor Original offers excellent value, making it an essential choice for projects requiring reliable and long-lasting metal protection.
