In the construction of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs), the role of paints and coatings is often underestimated. However, applying the right coating system is one of the most crucial steps in ensuring the strength, durability, and long-term protection of steel structures. At Maxolay Coatings, we understand the importance of safeguarding structures from corrosion, weathering, and wear & tear, which is why we provide industry-leading Direct-to-Metal (DTM) paints, primers, and topcoats.

Why Paints Are Essential in PEB Construction

PEB structures are primarily made of steel, which is highly vulnerable to rust and corrosion if left untreated. To avoid long-term damage, structures must be painted at the time of erection or even before erection.

  • Protects steel from corrosion
  • Enhances structural durability
  • Improves aesthetics of the building
  • Saves maintenance cost over time

Best DTM (Direct-to-Metal) Products by Maxolay Coatings

DTM paints are designed to be applied directly on metal surfaces without the need for a separate primer. They save both time and cost, making them ideal for PEB industries where production efficiency is key.

  • Epoxy DTM Paints – Strong resistance to chemicals & moisture
  • Auto DTM Paints – Quick drying, smooth finishing, and easy application
  • PU DTM Paints – Excellent durability with a premium glossy look

The use of Maxolay DTM paints significantly reduces application time and increases the production cycle in PEB projects.

For maximum performance and longer life of steel structures, a combination of high-quality primers and protective topcoats is recommended:

  • Epoxy Zinc Phosphate Primer – Excellent anti-corrosive properties
  • Epoxy Zinc Rich Primers – Superior steel protection with zinc reinforcement
  • Epoxy MIO Paints – Outstanding barrier protection against moisture
  • Polyurethane Topcoats – Weather-resistant finish with long-lasting colour retention
