In response to requests for environmentally sound coatings, Warren has added water reducible enamels to our product line. Warren's WR Enamels are safer in terms of user health and flammability versus most conventional solvent-borne enamels. WR Enamels may be applied by various methods direct to metal, and dry overnight/quickly to a hard water-resistant finish. WR Enamels are available in a wide range of colors and degrees of gloss, and they provide good exterior durability and corrosion resistance.
