Moist Metal Grip is a two-component, touch-adherent epoxy coating that bonds to dry, moist, wet, or fully submerged metal. It was developed specifically for surfaces that cannot be dried enough for Rust Grip® — marine hulls below the waterline, water tanks, buried pipe, cooling-tower infrastructure, and anywhere moisture cannot be eliminated.
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 | Two-part epoxy |
| Volume solids | 51% (80% with mixed system) |
| VOC | 158 g/L · 1.32 lbs/gal |
| Dry time | 4–6 hours to tack-free |
| Full cure | 10 days |
| Submergible | After 48 hours of cure |
| Max temperature | 176°C (350°F) |
| Service life | 10–20 years in aggressive environments |
| Spread rate | 200 microns × 2–3 coats; ~4.91 m²/L per coat |
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.
Paired with an Enamo Grip® topcoat, Moist Metal Grip delivers a marine system with: – ~3× longer resistance to biofouling vs. traditional copper-based antifouling – No reapplication needed – No toxic copper leaching — meets increasing EU, U.S., and state antifouling restrictions – Better fuel efficiency from a smoother hull
The combined system is marketed as “Slip…Clean…Go!” — a permanent non-stick antifouling barrier.

Yes. It is engineered for exactly that. The two-part epoxy cures chemically rather than by drying, so moisture on the surface doesn’t prevent the cure.
Yes. Moist Metal Grip is EU-certified for potable water, USDA approved, and AWWA approved for indoor potable-water storage. That makes it one of the only ceramic-tier coatings genuinely suited to water-tank linings.
The Moist Metal Grip + Enamo Grip® system provides about 3× longer biofouling resistance than traditional copper antifouling, with no toxic leaching. It also doesn’t require annual reapplication. Initial cost is higher; lifecycle cost is lower.
Submergible after 48 hours of cure. Full mechanical cure takes 10 days.
Rust Grip® is for above-water metal — including damp, but not wet or submerged. Moist Metal Grip is the underwater / wet-surface specialist. On many projects the two are paired: Rust Grip® as primer above the waterline, Moist Metal Grip below.
