OverviewRUST-OLEUM is a manufacturer of protective paints and coatings for home and industrial use. It was founded in 1921 by Robert Fergusson, a sea captain after he noticed that fish oil spilled on rusty metal decks stopped corrosion from spreading. He soon incorporated whale oil into the formula, although many changes have been made over the years. RUST-OLEUM products no longer contain whale oil, instead of using resins derived from alkyds, polyurethanes, epoxies, latex, etc. RUST-OLEUM remained a family-owned company until 1994 when it was acquired by current owner RPM International Inc. In 2015, the company reached one billion dollars in revenue. Key brands include Stops Rust, High Performance, NeverWet, Painter's Touch, Universal, Varathane, Zinsser, and Watco. The company acquired Synta Inc., in 2012, Krud Kutter, Inc. and Citadel Restoration and Repair, Inc. in 2014, and Seal Krete in 2016. Based on market share, RUST-OLEUM holds the top position in the U.S. and Canada in the rust-preventative, decorative, specialty, and professional segments of the small-project paint category. Coverage will vary depending on fabric: 20-60 sq. ft. Hold the spray bottle 12-16” from surface and coat the entire object until wet. Do not soak or allow to puddle. Rust-Oleum Never Wet Boot & Shoe is a one-step, superhydrophobic, water repelling treatment designed to keep footwear dry longer. This crystal clear formula preserves footwear against damaging moisture without changing the look or feel of the fabric.
