One epoxy. Every surface. Every condition.
Rust-Oleum 9100 is a proven swimming pool paint applied to New Zealand's largest commercial pools right through to thousands of backyard owners. It is also the same versatile epoxy used on some of New Zealand's biggest steel constructions — direct to metal, concrete and prepared floors. Because every job is different, speak with one of our team first and we will specify the right system, activator and finish for your exact surface.
Problems it solves
- Faded, chalky or failing pool coatings that need a long-term finish
- Rusted steel, galvanised and concrete surfaces needing a single proven system
- Industrial floors, tanks and plant that take abrasion and chemical exposure
- Confusing product choice — let our team specify the right activator and system
Where it's used
ROC 9100 DIRECT-TO-METAL EPOXY MASTIC
ROC 9100 Direct-to-Metal Epoxy is a two-component, high-solids epoxy coating that provides a durable, abrasion and chemical resistant protective surface suitable for almost all industrial environments. As Rust-Oleum's most versatile industrial product, it can be applied directly to sound rusted steel, galvanized metal, clean steel, concrete, and even slightly damp surfaces.
Built for the end user
This product was developed with the end user in mind. It has a convenient 1:1 mix ratio, a pot life of a minimum of two hours, and multiple activator options including Fast Cure, Low Temp and Immersion. It can also be used as a primer under Rust-Oleum ROC 9800 Thane high-performance topcoats.

NoxydeNoxyde Anti-Corrosion Coating
Paint straight over prepared rust, stopping corrosion for decades.
Noxyde is the only anti-corrosion waterproofing membrane on the market that can be applied directly over clean, prepared rust — no separate primer required. For over 29 years it has protected New Zealand's most severe coastal environments, from saltwater estuary bridges to iconic steel roofs. It is also used to extend the life and safely encapsulate asbestos roofs, locking fibres in place and adding decades of waterproof protection without the cost of removal.
