1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
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
adhesion, 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, fiber glass and many
other substrates. RUST GRIP is designed for the
encapsulation of and adherence to tightly-bonded surfaces
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 (liquid ceramic insulation). No pot life, no catalyzation, no
two-part mixing. Can substitute for zinc-rich primer
requiring no white sand-blasting. Can be applied over
rusted surfaces after loose/flaking material is removed.
High humidity quickens dry/cure cycle.
2. APPLICATION
Can power wash with solvent wipe down, light commercial
blast, or power hand tool to remove loose flake 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
EPA and NIOSH) before applying RUST GRIP over
lead-based paints. Possible alternative to abatement of
lead paints. Surfaces should be clean, dry and sound.
Existing surface dirt, oil, tar, grease and film should be
removed from surface by approved methods
(TSP-Tri-Sodium Phosphate or equivalent) prior to
application of RUST GRIP. MUST BE COMPLETELY
DRY.
