Metal Rusting and Corrosion

By using the right coatings to prevent rust and corrosion you can substantially extend the useful life of your assets.  In some cases where the integrity of the metal has been compromised, our coatings can actually bond to, and strengthen, rusted or corroded surfaces and prevent further degradation for many years. In addition to protecting metal surfaces, both Rust Grip® and Moist Metal Grip can be applied to concrete, masonry, or wood.

  • Rust Grip® – As a three-coats-in-one system, Rust Grip® acts as a primer, intermediate, and topcoat with a single application which strengthens surfaces to 6780 psi (473 bar) after 21 days. (Almost twice as hard as concrete – 3500 psi by comparison).  It can be applied directly over rusted surfaces or existing paint, with no sandblasting required in most cases.  This substantially cuts costs and the time required to complete a project.
  • Enamo Grip – For a smooth, durable finish that can be tinted to any color, Enamo Grip is a waterproof sealant that is highly resistant to graffiti, chemicals, and staining. It also provides exceptional scuff, mark, and impact resistance.
  • Enamogrip 5000 – is a two-part aliphatic, polyester/polyurethane enamel available in clear and colors. ENAMO GRIP 5000 is unlike traditional “unsaturated” polyester coatings that use a peroxide cure.
  • Lining Kote UHS – two component epoxy formula for acid protection to prevent corrosion and deterioration of tank linings and holding areas against acids/chemicals.
  • Moist Metal Grip – When surfaces are too wet to apply Rust Grip®, Moist Metal Grip can be applied directly to prevent further surface corrosion.  It can be used under water and is resistant to chemicals and solvents.
Floor Protection/Top Coats/Acid and Chemical Resistance

Over time, water damage and heavy use can compromise concrete and steel flooring.  Extend the useful life of your floorings and postpone expensive replacement costs using coatings that preserve and strengthen steel, concrete, and other surfaces.

  • Rust Grip® – As a 1-coat system, Rust Grip® bonds directly to rusted surfaces preventing further corrosion and hardens to 6,870 psi within 21 days.  It is a high performance coating for concrete, steel, and other surfaces that are exposed to the harshest environments.
  • Enamo Grip – An excellent choice for a durable finish sealer or topcoat that can be applied to a variety of surfaces including high traffic floors.  It is fully waterproof and highly resistant to chemicals, staining, and scuffing.  Enamo Grip can be tinted to any color.
  • Lining Kote – If you need dependable protection from the harshest chemical or solvent environments, Lining Kote is a high performance coating designed to withstand direct impact, humidity, and temperatures up to 400° F. Its two part epoxy composition provides flexible protection in PH ranges of 1-10.
Asbestos/Hazardous Materials Encapsulation

Safe removal of asbestos or other hazardous materials such as lead-based paint or mold can be exorbitantly expensive in addition to posing significant health risks. Proper encapsulation is a safe and highly cost effective solution for handling the abatement of toxic materials.

  • Rust Grip® – Rust Grip® is one of the only coatings on the market patented to safely encapsulate asbestos and lead-based paint (patent #6,695,812) under ASTM E-1795; it can also be used to encapsulate other hazardous materials. After application to a surface, Rust Grip® hardens to 6,800 psi within 21 days.  (Concrete is 3,500 psi by comparison).  It effectively blocks any contact with air, moisture, or chemicals, and has also been tested as a water barrier under ASTM.
Concrete Protection

Now you can extend the life, and help preserve the integrity, of concrete walls, floors, and structures.  We offer various coatings that condition, strengthen, and protect concrete surfaces.

  • Rust Grip® – When rebars in concrete become weakened due to corrosion, Rust Grip® will bond within the pores of the metal to strengthen and protect it from further oxidation and rusting.Rust Grip®, when applied over concrete, is resistant to water and chemicals, and is appropriate for areas with high foot traffic.
  • Enamo Grip – For a smooth, durable finish that can be tinted to any color, Enamo Grip is a waterproof sealant that is highly resistant to graffiti, chemicals, and staining. It also provides exceptional scuff, mark, and impact resistance.
  • Enamogrip 5000 – is a two-part aliphatic, polyester/polyurethane enamel available in clear and colors. ENAMO GRIP 5000 is unlike traditional “unsaturated” polyester coatings that use a peroxide cure.
  • Moist Metal Grip – component epoxy formula for corrosion control over condensation or wet surfaces of any kind. Moist Metal Grip can be applied by brush or roller to force the coating into the surface pores, to replace the moisture or water, and to lock down and prevent the combination of moisture and air to allow corrosion to exist or continue.
Heat Loss / Gain Mitigation

Rising energy costs coupled with greater price volatility, can wreak havoc with your bottom line. Energy loss and efficiency has never been more important. Our heat-blocking coatings not only outperform fiberglass insulation, but can easily be applied to more difficult areas such as joints,valves,tight,or wet spaces.

  • HSC™ Coating – Specially designed to prevent heat loss on heated assets up 350°F. HSC™ can also be used as an interior insulation solution for walls or under roofs to enhance or replace existing insulation and to prevent condensation inside ocean vessels.
  • HPC™ Coating – Specially designed to insulate and protect heated assets with a maximum internal temperature up to 450°F (232°C)
  • HPC-HT Coating – Specially designed to insulate and protect heated assets with a maximum internal temperature up to 1112°F (600°C). HPC-HT requires the use of the HPC-HT Primer
Condensation

Condensation on cold water pipes can cause many problems when traditional insulation or wraps are used.  Just a small amount of moisture on the surface can cause corrosion under insulation (CUI) as well as cause mold problems. Our coatings cure directly to the surface, protecting it for years from corrosion, and are highly resistant to mold and mildew.

  • HSC™ Coating – A long term solution that be applied in layers to provide additional protective insulation.  HSC™ effectively blocks moisture from reaching the coated surface, protecting it from corrosion for years.
Fireproofing/Fire Resistance
  • Omega Fire – With Omega Fire, you can build extra safety into structures with a water-based fireproof coating that stays intact above 2000°F and UL and ASTM tested to 3 hours over metal structures. It is non- toxic during and after exposure to fire.
Fuel Cost /Perishable Loss on Refrigerated Vehicles

The effect of high heat on refrigerated vehicles can result in substantially higher costs of operation including:

  • Higher energy costs resulting from running refrigerator units at maximum levels
  • Increased wear and shorter life of refrigerator units
  • Decreased volume capacity of trailer if bulkier insulation is used.
  • Higher perishable product loss if refrigerator units are unable maintain temperature levels
Anti-Graffiti and Removal

Graffiti can be an expensive and time consuming problem that damages and defaces your assets.  A coating that is highly resistant to graffiti coupled with the proper cleaning agent is a very cost effective solution.

  • Enamo Grip – A two-component polyurethane enamel, Enamo Grip is a uniquely hard and durable coating that is highly graffiti resistant.  Enamo Grip will also provide outstanding resistance to water and humidity, stains, chemicals, and solvents, as well as exceptional scuff, mark, and impact-resistance.
