Hammerite Heat Resistant Paint

Hammerite is a world-renowned brand specializing in metal care and protection. It was originally developed in the United Kingdom in 1962 by Allen Forster. The brand became famous for its unique 'Direct to Rust' formula, which allows the paint to be applied directly onto rusted metal surfaces without the need for a separate primer or undercoat. Over the decades, it has expanded its product line to include specialized coatings like the heat-resistant spray seen here, which is designed for surfaces exposed to high temperatures such as barbeques and exhaust pipes.

Today, Hammerite is a core brand within the portfolio of AkzoNobel, a major Dutch multinational specializing in paints and performance coatings. While the brand has British origins, its manufacturing footprint is global, with production facilities across Europe and other regions to serve international markets. AkzoNobel manages the brand through various regional subsidiaries, ensuring that Hammerite remains a leader in the DIY and professional metal protection sectors worldwide.
