Some blistering is noted on the edges of the two coupons, however, this is due to the edge effect and not due to a deficiency in the coating.

Letters of Recommendation

"After meeting your company at the Off Shore Arabia Conference in April 2010, we decided to use Rust Grip on the deck of our ABS Class vessel Mubarak Challenger. It has now been over a year, and there are still no signs of corrosion development as originally promised by your company."

Mubarak Marine - Metal Work Boats - Dubai, UAE - Technical Department

"I try to rustgrip every piece of steel I can, because it really helps us save time and money on maintenance. Once I rustgrip something I do not have to worry about it again. We love your product and we are always trying to make our job easier, and this is one less thing we have to worry about once it is on. The pictures with the rusted, pitted rams are from 2019, where we took them off the aframe, removed the rust, applied the rustgrip and painted them with a one part polyurethane paint."

Louisiana Wild Life and Fisheries - Jeff Canulette

"I was using it on Al Mafyar LNG Carrier for last few years and it shows excellent performance on hard to maintain areas."

Nakilat - LNG Carriers - Qatar - Capt. Marin Telak

"Its been a year since the application of special coating of  1st & 2nd Coat: (Spray) Rust Grip & 3rd Coat (spray) Enamo Grip , the overall results of protection against environmental corrosion by the coatings is very good."
