RamGuard DTM-600

Single-component water-borne DTM primer

Overview

Ram Guard DTM-600 is a low-odor, water-borne, high-solid styrene acrylic emulsion developed for high-build exterior and interior decorative concrete coatings and direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings for construction and heavy machinery. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, strong adhesion to steel, high film build, and high gloss potential with low VOC chemistry.

Key Features

Direct-to-Metal (DTM)

Formulated for direct application to steel substrates after blast cleaning — no separate primer required for most steel applications.

Excellent Corrosion Resistance

High-solid styrene acrylic chemistry delivers strong corrosion, water, and humidity resistance for demanding industrial environments.

High Film Build

Achieves 200 ft² coverage at 8 mil WFT (4 mil DFT) per gallon, reducing the number of coats needed for full protection.

Single Component / Low VOC

Ready-to-use single-component formula with low VOC and low odor — no mixing required, safe for interior and exterior use.

Typical Applications

  • DTM steel applications
  • Construction equipment
  • Heavy machinery
  • High-build decorative concrete coatings
  • Exterior and interior industrial coatings
