Benjamin Moore HP3300: The Durable DTM Solution for Industrial and Commercial Projects

When it comes to industrial coatings, reliability isn’t optional—it’s essential. From machinery and metal railings to commercial doors and facility walls, professionals in Ann Arbor and across Michigan know that every coating needs to perform under pressure. That’s where Benjamin Moore HP3300 DTM Acrylic Enamel comes in: a high-performance, waterborne enamel that combines durability, versatility, and easy cleanup for modern industrial environments.

What Is HP3300 DTM Acrylic Enamel?

HP3300 is a Direct-to-Metal (DTM) acrylic enamel designed to deliver exceptional protection and gloss on a wide range of substrates—both interior and exterior. Whether applied to steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, masonry, concrete, or properly prepared wood, HP3300 offers a smooth, glossy finish that stands up to moisture, corrosion, and light to moderate industrial exposures.

Unlike many solvent-based industrial paints, HP3300’s waterborne formulation makes it easier to work with and better for the environment. It cleans up with soap and water, dries quickly, and maintains excellent adhesion even in challenging conditions.

Built for Real-World Conditions

Benjamin Moore engineered HP3300 with the demands of working facilities in mind:

• Flash-rust resistant to protect freshly prepped metal surfaces.
• Highly moisture-resistant for reliable performance in humid or wet environments.
• Corrosion-inhibiting film that helps prevent long-term rusting and wear.
• Fast dry times: Touch-dry in about an hour; ready for a recoat in four.
• Low VOC (< 100 g/L) for better indoor air quality and regulatory compliance.

For Michigan contractors managing production plants, universities, health-care facilities, or municipal projects, those features translate to less downtime and longer-lasting results.

Application Versatility

HP3300 can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed—making it easy to adapt to different jobsite conditions. When applied properly, the coating achieves excellent gloss retention (around 70–80 @ 60°) and maintains color integrity even after accelerated weathering. For best performance, Benjamin Moore recommends pairing HP3300 with HP1100 Acrylic Metal Primer on ferrous substrates for enhanced rust protection.

Where HP3300 Excels

This coating is ideal for:

• Manufacturing and warehouse facilities
• Metal doors, handrails, and stairwells
• Equipment and machinery
• Concrete and masonry surfaces
• Universities, hospitals, and other public-service buildings

Michigan’s climate poses unique challenges—moisture in the air, salt exposure from winter maintenance, and temperature swings throughout the year. HP3300’s balanced acrylic formula and corrosion resistance make it an especially smart choice for local conditions.
