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.
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.
Encapsulates Corrosion — Flash, Mill Scale, Pack Rust Lead-Based Paint Asbestos & Bio-Hazards Chemical & Acid Splash Resistant Class A Fire Coating
The world's best corrosion & encapsulation coating
Twelve reasons engineers specify Rust Grip® where ordinary coatings fail.
Single Component
No mixing Part A & B. No pot life, no catalyzation — straight from the can.
Self-Priming, 3-in-1
"Three coats in one" system. Primer, intermediate and topcoat performance from one product.
Surface Tolerant
Applies over minimally prepared surfaces — in most cases no sandblasting required. Light to medium surface rust is the preferred profile.
Embeds & Encapsulates
Penetrates and locks into the pores of the substrate — not just a surface film.
Fast Cure
Humidity accelerates curing — over 40% humidity allows up to 3 coats in a single day.
Aluminium Strength
Non-leafing aluminium metallics — stronger and a better long-term investment than zinc.
Moisture Barrier
0.24 permeability stops water penetration and repels dirt, mould and mildew.
Bio-Hazard Certified
Patented (ASTM E1795) to encapsulate asbestos, lead-based paint and hazardous materials.
No Hot Permit
Up to 60% of surface-prep cost removed — no clean-up, containment or sound containment factors.
Extreme Durability
Endures 29,700 rub cycles without exposing existing lead-based paint. Resists abrasion & impact.
Class A Fire Rated
In a fire, Rust Grip® helps prevent spread and will not contribute to the fire.
Multi-Substrate
Protects steel, aluminium, concrete, wood, fibreglass and lead-based painted surfaces.

8 years. 18 leading coatings. One winner.
A long-term lab and field study by Chevron and Workstrings International, published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, tested 18 leading coatings on drill pipes for eight years — one of the toughest environments imaginable. Rust Grip® was the top performer.
"Beyond the goal of eliminating corrosion and pitting-related damages, the introduction of externally coated completion tubulars has facilitated a paradigm shift in the way operators manage rental completion tubulars."
"This coating system provides a trouble-free solution and significant cost savings through reduction in pipe repairs and damages, loss of capital assets, and rig time."
The savings realized in connection repairs alone is estimated to exceed $250,000 per well
Trusted in the field across every continent
Rust Grip® generates barrier protection, galvanic protection and full encapsulation — used successfully in chemical fields, oil fields, marine, oil rigs and any environment demanding resistance to day-to-day corrosion.
Oil & Gas
Chevron drill pipes (Indonesia), Pemex offshore rigs, BHP Billiton hot pipes & vessels, Suncor tank projects and Exxon Mobil CUI procedures.
Marine & LNG
LNG tankers in Abu Dhabi (UAE), offshore insulation systems for K12-BP / GDF Suez, and barge corrosion protection.
Rail & Transport
Indian Railways LHB coaches, Sri Lankan train carriages and the Baku Metro inspection program.
Defence
Fort Bragg lead-paint encapsulation and the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (29 Palms) — chosen over hot-dip galvanising.
Infrastructure
Hoover Dam corrosion & cool-coating project, BP fuel terminals and shipping-container protection.
Heavy Industry
Korean incineration ducting, factory floors, farming and animal facilities, and Halliburton oil-field services.
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.
