Encapsulation (RUST GRIP)

RUST GRIP® is a liquid reinforcement coating designed to seal air, moisture, and chemicals out of surfaces completely. It seals virtually any surface to protect it against corrosion, weather, and physical wear. RUST GRIP® acts as a primer, intermediate, and top coat with a single application and minimal surface preparation as a three-coats-in-one system. Additionally, RUST GRIP® is an encapsulating coating that stands up to abrasion, direct impact, acids, salts, and caustic materials with no loss of strength. RUST GRIP® has been successfully tried & tested worldwide and has received numerous certificates to substantiate its effectiveness and reliability.

Rust Grip® is a tough, one-part, moisture-cure polyurethane coating that absorbs atmospheric moisture to cure. Rust Grip® is loaded with a metallic pigment for strength and is also resistant to chemical solvents and acid splash. Upon curing, Rust Grip® provides a protective coating film of superior adhesion and flexibility and is resistant to abrasion and impact. Rust Grip® can be used as a primer or as a one-coating system. It is patented to encapsulate lead-based paints and other toxic materials, including asbestos. Rust Grip® can be applied over pressure-washed, completely dry flash rust and firmly bonded commercial paints. In most cases, a white or near-white blasting is not required. A light to medium surface rust is preferred as the profile.
