Industrial metal surfaces face constant punishment—abrasion, weather, temperature swings, and the risk of corrosion. When the priority is long-term protection and a coating that can truly stand up to harsh environments, professionals turn to solutions engineered for durability, not just appearance. Benjamin Moore CHP2210 Alkyd Urethane Enamel is that solution: a rugged, rust-preventative industrial coating designed for interior and exterior metal that needs to last.

With its surface-tolerant adhesion, high solids content, and urethane-reinforced alkyd resin, CHP2210 provides reliable, long-term performance on equipment, machinery, tanks, storage structures, metal buildings, fences, and more—making it an excellent choice for industrial and commercial maintenance environments.

Why Choose CHP2210 for Industrial and Commercial Metal?

CHP2210 stands out because it combines heavy-duty durability with application versatility. Its urethane-modified alkyd formula delivers a protective, semi-gloss finish that resists corrosion while maintaining excellent surface uniformity and flow. It can even be applied as a self-priming system on ferrous metal, helping streamline prep and reduce labor on qualifying jobs.

Professionals appreciate CHP2210 for its:

  • Durable, rust-preventative film that protects metal over the long term
  • Surface-tolerant adhesion, even on marginally prepared metal
  • Excellent flow and leveling for a smooth, uniform finish
  • High solids content (66%), creating a thicker, more protective dry film
  • Dual-purpose design—primer and finish in one on ferrous metals
  • Strong heat resistance up to 300°F dry and 160°F wet

Where speed and convenience make HP3300 a good choice, CHP2210 is the “long game” coating—built for performance in more demanding maintenance and industrial environments.

Application Versatility for Demanding Conditions

CHP2210 is engineered for metal substrates in industrial, commercial, marine-exposed (above water) and maintenance settings.

Ideal environments include:

  • Factories and warehouses
  • Processing and agricultural facilities
  • Marine-exposed metal (non-immersion)
  • Storage tanks and structural steel
  • Metal buildings, doors, and machinery

For maximum corrosion resistance on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum or galvanized substrates, CHP2210 can be paired with HP1100 Acrylic Metal Primer or HP1750 Waterborne Bonding Primer.

Technical Snapshot

Property Detail
Volume Solids 66 ± 2%
