Also, Plutonium™ cans are made from tin-free steel, coated on both sides with PET (a polyester polymer). The polymer coating eliminates the need for solvent-based interior lining, thereby significantly reducing any carbon emissions. The finished cans have no welded side seems; this does away with the need for copper and water during manufacturing.
Q. How many square feet does one Can of Plutonium™ Paint cover?
A. One can of Plutonium™ Paint will comfortably cover 20+ sq. feet, depending on the color.
