Key Features of ULTRASHIELD® / ENDURAPRIME®

• Ultra-low VOC and low odor for safer application
• Excellent adhesion to etched galvanized metal and other non-ferrous metals

Comparison: Dunn-Edwards vs Benjamin Moore

Benjamin Moore’s closest equivalent is the Ultra Spec® HP Acrylic Metal Primer, which is also designed for galvanized metal surfaces.

Why choose ULTRASHIELD® over Benjamin Moore?

• ULTRASHIELD® offers better adhesion to etched galvanized surfaces, while Benjamin Moore’s primer requires more surface prep and is less tolerant of high-pH substrates
• Dunn-Edwards provides lower odor and VOC levels, ideal for enclosed or sensitive environments
• Benjamin Moore’s Ultra Spec® HP is effective but may require additional topcoats for full corrosion protection

Comparison: Dunn-Edwards vs Sherwin-Williams

Sherwin-Williams does not offer a direct galvanized metal primer equivalent to ULTRASHIELD®. Their closest options include:

• Kem Kromik® Universal Metal Primer – designed for iron and steel, not galvanized metal
• All Surface Enamel Primer – used by contractors for general metal surfaces but not optimized for galvanized substrates

Why choose ULTRASHIELD® over Sherwin-Williams?

• ULTRASHIELD® is specifically formulated for galvanized and non-ferrous metals, unlike Sherwin-Williams’ more general-use primers
• Offers better corrosion resistance and adhesion on difficult-to-coat surfaces like aluminum and brass
• Dunn-Edwards’ LEED-certified production ensures environmental responsibility and consistent quality
