Rust Grip® is a one-part, moisture-cured polyurethane coating that encapsulates existing rust — no sandblasting to bare metal required. A single coat replaces the traditional sandblast-plus-three-coat system, with 6,780 psi adhesion, salt-spray resistance exceeding 15,000 hours, and a 30-year expected service life.
Invented by J.E. Pritchett. U.S. Patent #5,695,812, issued December 9, 1997.
Super Therm® uses four engineered ceramic compounds, each targeting a different part of the solar spectrum:
The ceramics are ground to microscopic spheres, producing a smooth finish that looks more like paint than insulation – but functions completely differently.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Chemistry | One-part polyurethane (moisture-cured) |
| Adhesion | 6,780 psi tensile |
| Salt-spray resistance | 15,000+ hours (ASTM B117) — equivalent to ~30 years |
| Service life | 30 years |
| System | Single coat over existing rust |
| Marine approval | DNV |
peak demand cut 86% (3,764 → 519 kW in May); 13-month payback. Subsequently specified for a new 700,000 sq ft facility in Malaysia.
coated NGL spherical tanks ran ~15°C cooler than uncoated tanks (35.1°C vs. 50.9°C in 32°C ambient), reducing flaring from internal pressure.
uninsulated metal building coated with Super Therm® held an 85°F interior through 111–113°F desert heat with AC off, with 60 people inside and doors open.
all 39 tanks (30,000 KL) at the Hokko Terminal coated; cooling efficiency improved 20%, VOC emissions reduced significantly. The first tank, coated in 1996, was still performing in 2009 with only a topcoat refresh.
367.20 BTU conducted through bare metal plate → 3.99 BTU with one coat of Super Therm® at 7–8 mils (99% reduction).
39% utility-bill reduction with a 2.2-year payback.
96% total heat block confirmed
99% IR block; 92% total solar reduction.
Salt air corrodes coastal metal far faster than inland environments. Rust Grip® lets you protect existing structures — railings, gates, tanks, roofs, equipment, marine hardware — without the cost and disruption of stripping them to bare steel. On new steel construction, it replaces hot-dip galvanizing: no toxic galvanizing process, no steel distortion on large spans, and an accelerated build schedule.
Find answers to common questions about our services, processes, and how we work with clients across various industries.
No. Rust Grip® is engineered to bond to and encapsulate existing rust, eliminating sandblasting to bare metal. That alone often cuts a corrosion-repair project’s labor cost in half.
Yes. Its patented formulation encapsulates both, sealing the hazardous material in place as a compliant alternative to removal. Confirm local regulations before any abatement project
Yes. The structure begins cooling on application, and the coating stays effective for 30+ years with minimal deterioration.
Is there a “winter penalty”? Slight, but insignificant in Hawaiʻi. Independent reports confirm that for cool roofs in suitable climates, the cooling savings far exceed any heating penalty — and Hawaiʻi’s climate is overwhelmingly cooling-dominated.
No. Rust Grip® is for above-water applications. For wet, damp, or submerged metal, use Moist Metal Grip.
With proper application, expected service life is around 30 years. The 15,000+ hour salt-spray testing (ASTM B117) corresponds roughly to that timeframe in aggressive marine environments.
Rust Grip® is typically applied as a primer and then top-coated with Enamo Grip® in the color you want (Desert Tan, safety yellow, custom colors are all common).
