RUST GRIP TECHNOLOGY | Control Rust & Protect steel, aluminum. wood, concrete and most other materials and coatings you want to preserve.

With Rust Grip Industrial Coating, rust corrosion is encapsulated and virtually stopped in its tracks. Rust Grip®

Another great product available through Pro Painters is Rust Grip®. This lifesaver product is a one stop shop for all things in metal renewal and lead paint encapsulation. The possibilities are endless and will extend the life of large metal structures and containers, tanks etc.​ Seal virtually any surface. Rust Grip® is basically a three-coats-in-one system that acts as a primer, strong second coat, and top coat with just a single application. One application will protect against corrosion, weather and will even add strength to the painted structure.   

Commercial and industrial painting involves many different surfaces and style. One of the most interesting products is the Rust Grip Coating. An amazing corrosiion protector that adds long life to otherwise failing metal surfaces prone to corrosion.  Preparation involves the scraping of loose metal debris and rust flakes that have accumulated.  

Rust Grip® is a metallic-based, cured with moisture - polyurethane encapsulating coating; purposed to coat and seal air, moisture and chemicals out of surfaces, a product that will stand up to acids, salts and caustic materials without loss of strength.

Highlights of Rust Grip

• Works rapidly - The coating begins penetrating and swelling to seal surface pores after about an hour of curing.  Where paint will adhere to the surface it has been applied to, ie; old paint, the Rust Grip® film will actually anchor itself into the surface of the existing rust, metal or concrete after it has fully penetrated any coatings or existing corrosion.  It encapsulates the surface to have the existing rust become a layer of steel over the surface to the 6180 psi strength.  This is how the coating also covers and protects fro lead and other potential toxins.
• Multi-use - The product protects metals such as aluminum and steel, concrete, wood, fiberglass as well as older lead-based paints. Excellent for minimally prepared surfaces.
• Fire resistant - helps to prevent spread of, and will not contribute to, the burn. 
• Lasts a long time - 20+ year lifespan on substrates under normal conditions; strengthens surfaces to 6780 psi. 
• No white metal blasting, only one coating - With a patented coating technology Rust Grip provides the ability to permanently encapsulate lead paint free of the expense of white metal blasting,
• Hazardous material containment - No need for elaborate containment systems or multi part coatings. Rust and Flash rusting actually work to your advantage by providing Rust Grip an roadway to embed right into the anchor material.
• Rust Grip is described as a metallic-based, moisture-cure polyurethane that encapsulates over and surfaces and seals against corrosion, weathering, and physical wear. It physically anchors to the base material.
• Rust Grip® will not only provide an outstanding, long term solution against corrosion, it will noticeably reduce the impact on the environment and, as well, workers' and people in general, danger from hazardous materials previously exposed. 
• RUST GRIP® rigidly protects against surface moisture getting to the base material. No moisture, no corrosion.

How Do I Know It's Time For Rust Grip®?

Any time is a good time for Rust Grip® because it can work as a preventative coating before any rust or mould or whatever condition sets in on the surface that you are considering.  Of course, if you haven't used this product before, then consider having it applied when you see the beginnings of corrosion like in the water tower above. Other reasons to consider that the time has come is if you suspect any surface is contaminated with organic material, lead or in some cases. asbestos. We always suggest you take the appropriate steps if you suspect asbestos or mould.

RUSTGRIP ® has also passed 15,000 hours of salt spray testing which far exceeds the marine specifications and consequently has achieved DNV certification.
