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, fiberglass 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 SUPERTHERM. No pot life, no canalization, no two-part mixing. Can substitute for zinc-rich primer requiring no white sandblasting. Can be applied over rusted surfaces after loose/flaking material Is 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.

IMPORTANT:
Stir product thoroughly before using. RUST GRIP can be applied by brush, roller or spray equipment. It should be applied evenly without buildup. Apply in a 2-coat application system. CAUTION: Wear gloves and protective clothing. Extremely tough to clean off skin. Throw away brushes and rollers after use. Wear eye protection. SOLVENT: Clean-up or reduction, use MEK or MIBK. If sprayed, keep solvent ready to clean equipment before breaks (lunch hour) or at conclusion of job. *CLEAN IMMEDIATELY OR WILL RUIN EQUIPMENT.

3 Cautions and Warning

Wear skin and eye protection. Do not take internally. Avoid contact with eyes. If solution does come in contact with eyes, flush immediately with water and contact a physician for medical attention. Avoid prolonged contact with skin or breathing of spray mist. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. This is a flammable liquid. Keep away from flame or fire or other sources of ignition.

4 Performance and Properties

May be used by itself without a top coat. Excellent adhesion to wide variety of substrates. Attaches itself into the pores of metal or concrete and expands to lock into them.

A portion of a container may be used and re-sealed for later use. A skin will form on surface of product. Remove skin and use as directed.
