Rust Grip - Liquid Reinforced Coating

DESCRIPTION:
Biohazard Encapsulator (Patent #5,695,812)

RUST GRIP is a one part polyurethane coating that combines with atmospheric moisture to cure. Upon curing, RUST GRIP provides a protective coating of superior adhesions, flexibility and abrasion/impact resistance. It is resistant to chemical solvents and acid splash.

Originally designed for metal surfaces, RUST GRIP demonstrates excellent adhesion to wood, concrete, fiberglass and many other substrates. RUST GRIP is designed for the encapsulation of and adherence to the tightly bonded surface of lead-based and other toxic paints as well as rusted surfaces. This unique ability is accomplished by the curing mechanism of the base polymer. The coating (having a low initial viscosity) wets the rusty surface, then penetrates to the foundation of the rust's origin where curing begins. The polymer literally begins to swell, developing an interlocking network between the pores of the surface and the coating. RUST GRIP is highly recommended as a base coat for SUPER THERM on metal.

No pot life, no catalyzation, no two-part mixing. Can substitute for zinc-rich primer requiring no white sandblasting. Can be applied over rusted surfaces after loose flaking material is removed. High humidity quickens dry/cure cycle.

APPLICATION METHODS:
Can power wash with solvent wipe down, light commercial blast, or power hand tool to remove loose flakes and debris before applying. Can use power tool (within the guidelines of Clean Air Act) with vacuum to prep lead based paints (as discussed at Steel Structures Painting Council-SSPC-meeting March 15-17 attended by EPS and NIOSH) before applying RUST GRIP over lead-based paints. Alternative to abatement of lead paints. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and sound. Existing surfaces dirt, oil, tar, grease and film should be removed from surface by approved methods (TSP Tri-Sodium Phosphate or equivalent) before application of RUST GRIP. MUST BE COMPLETELY DRY. IMPORTANT: Stir product thoroughly before using. (Methods: SSPC-SP-2, SP-3, SP-6, SP-7).

RUST GRIP can be applied slowly with soft bristle brush, roller, or spray equipment. It should be applied evenly without buildup at the prescribed thickness. Overly thick application may cause surface bubbling from gassing. Apply in a one-coat application system using cross-hatch method (side-to-side, up and down over same area). CAUTION: Wear gloves and protective clothing. Extremely tough to clean off skin. Throw away brushes and rollers after use. Wear eye protection. SOLVENT: Clean up or reduction, use MEK or MIBK. If sprayed, keep solvent ready to clean equipment before breaks (lunch hour) or at conclusion of job.

CLEAN IMMEDIATELY OR WILL RUIN EQUIPMENT.

Excellent adhesion to wide variety of substrates. Attaches into the pores of metal or concrete and expands to lock in.
Cures by reacting to moisture in the air.
A portion of a container may be used and re-sealed for later use, if done so carefully. A skin will form on surface of product. Remove skin and use as directed.
