Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are. After all, in the beginning, our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn’t particularly care about paint. He just wanted to keep his ship intact. That’s why, when he noticed that an accidental splash of fish oil had stopped the relentless spread of corrosion on his rusty metal deck, he immediately recognized it for what it was: A valuable solution.
The same passion that drove the Captain to spend his next few years creating the world’s first rust-preventative paint still drives us today. When we see a problem, we work diligently until we've perfected a solution—which has led to some of the most cutting-edge, durable and innovative products in the industry.
If you've got a surface you need to protect or a look you want to transform, you've come to the right place. We have a coating for every challenge.
Welcome to Rust-Oleum, home of trusted quality—and powerful solutions—since 1921.

HISTORY
The original Ultraseal formula was specifically designed to seal tire punctures for the 4x4, dune buggy, and off-road vehicle market. The product received overwhelming positive response along with requests to produce additional formulas to meet the needs of conventional automobiles, trucks, and equipment. One such request came from Mickey Thompson, a well-known off-road racecar driver and an old friend of Ron and Liz Aguirre, founders of Ultraseal. Throughout his racing career, tire punctures and flats had caused major problems. After using Ultraseal, he encouraged Ron and Liz to expand their market.
In 1970, Ultraseal was contacted by NASA and asked to supply product for use in the Apollo Lunar Rover Vehicle (LRV) program. Several prototype LRVs equipped with pneumatic tires were being tested in the desert to simulate how vehicle systems would react to what scientists expected to find on the moon. The rapid pace of R&D allowed no time for the needless delays being caused by tire punctures. Reports confirmed that once Ultraseal was installed, tire punctures were no longer an issue.
As the nation faced the first petroleum crisis in the early 70's, many in the government began to rethink how they used fuel and petroleum derivatives such as tires. Agencies, including the US Postal Service, adopted a "Green" policy, and introduced new provisions for the use of tire sealants within the government. Ultraseal was the only manufacturer to meet and exceed the standard as an "Approved Tire Sealant".
