World's Toughest Encapsulation Coating

Rust Grip®

No more corrosion. A high-performance, aluminium-based, single-component moisture-cured polyurethane that seals, strengthens and encapsulates metal, concrete, wood and fibreglass — delivering over 20 years of rust protection in the harshest environments.

Imagine: 3 days of work in a single day, at half the price and double the corrosion-protection performance.

The Rust Grip® difference

Single component — no mixing, no pot life, no catalyzation

Encapsulates corrosion, lead paint, asbestos & bio-hazards

Minimal surface prep — often no sandblasting required

Penetrates and locks into pores — not just a surface film

Rust Grip® vs Traditional Zinc & Galvanising

No more zinc. No more galvanising.

Galvanized metal sits on the surface and can re-corrode in as little as 2 years. Rust Grip® penetrates the pores, anchors in and encapsulates — outperforming galvanized surfaces for 20+ years without a topcoat.

Traditional Zinc Coating

Rust Grip® Aluminium Coating

Installation

Requires lengthy sandblasting

Minimal surface preparation

Application

Multiple epoxy coats (3–4 coat systems)

Single-component; total application time reduced by up to 75%

Surface Prep

Sandblasting — Sa 2.5, NACE2, SSPC10

Grit/garnet cost eliminated or reduced by up to 75%

Moisture

Limited protection from mould & mildew

Stops water-vapour transmission via electro-chemical sealing

Longevity

Shorter lifetime; can re-corrode in ~2 years

Penetrates deep into pores; 20+ years

Encapsulation

Unable to encapsulate

Encapsulates asbestos, lead paint & bio-hazards

Configuration

Multi-component, various mixing ratios

Self-priming, single component

Performance

Cannot match Rust Grip® in lab or field

Perfect score: 15,000 hrs salt fog = 30 years

No Air, no Moisture = no Corrosion!

A Paradigm Shift in Corrosion Technology

Developed in the field, for the harshest environments

Rust Grip® is a tough, one-part, moisture-cure polyurethane coating that absorbs atmospheric moisture to cure. It is patented and loaded with unique aluminium pigments (not zinc) for strength, and is resistant to chemical solvents and acid splash. It adds 6,780 psi / 470 bar of surface tensile strength to corroded steel, concrete, and porous or solid surfaces.

As a solvent, Rust Grip® completely fills the pits, cracks and pores of the substrate — unlike a topical "glue" coating. It then draws on the atmosphere to anchor in, cure, seal and encapsulate the surface against any air, moisture or minerals that could cause further corrosion. With a permeability of just 0.24 perms, the surface can no longer breathe, take on moisture, or oxidize.

It has a proven history across oil & gas, railways, marine, truck bodies and frames in coastal areas, farming and animal facilities, and heavy industry. Apply by brush, spray or roller — as a primer or a complete one-coat system.

Why Rust Grip®

The world's best corrosion & encapsulation coating

Twelve reasons engineers specify Rust Grip® where ordinary coatings fail.

1

Single Component

No mixing Part A & B. No pot life, no catalyzation — straight from the can.

2

Self-Priming, 3-in-1

"Three coats in one" system. Primer, intermediate and topcoat performance from one product.

3

Surface Tolerant

Applies over minimally prepared surfaces — in most cases no sandblasting required. Light to medium surface rust is the preferred profile.

4

Embeds & Encapsulates

Penetrates and locks into the pores of the substrate — not just a surface film.

5

Fast Cure

Humidity accelerates curing — over 40% humidity allows up to 3 coats in a single day.

6

Aluminium Strength

Non-leafing aluminium metallics — stronger and a better long-term investment than zinc.

7

Moisture Barrier

0.24 permeability stops water penetration and repels dirt, mould and mildew.

8

Bio-Hazard Certified

Patented (ASTM E1795) to encapsulate asbestos, lead-based paint and hazardous materials.

9

No Hot Permit

Up to 60% of surface-prep cost removed — no clean-up, containment or sound containment factors.

10

Extreme Durability

Endures 29,700 rub cycles without exposing existing lead-based paint. Resists abrasion & impact.

11

Class A Fire Rated

In a fire, Rust Grip® helps prevent spread and will not contribute to the fire.

12

Multi-Substrate

Protects steel, aluminium, concrete, wood, fibreglass and lead-based painted surfaces.
