Rust Grip®-E
Resources
Rust Grip-E is a two-part epoxy coating system that has been designed with specific additives to promote adhesion when used on metal and contains metal pigment to strengthen coating and retard chalking. Rust Grip-E was developed to be applied to metal surfaces that cannot be dry enough to use traditional Rust Grip®. It can be used directly to wet or damp metal surfaces and maintain excellent adhesion to prevent further surface corrosion. It is a water repelling epoxy for use under water or in areas where constant splashing or condensation is a problem. It is resistant to chemicals and solvents, and is designed to be applied directly to concrete, masonry and metal. Rust Grip-E must be top-coated to prevent chalking.

Typical Uses
- For metal that is moist or in high humidity.
- To encapsulate existing rusted surfaces.
- To protect metal with condensation issues.
- To line tanks.
- Very good acid and good alkali resistance.
- As a primer before ENAMO GRIP, LINING KOTE or other coatings are applied.
Application Methods
Rust Grip-E can be applied to metal, as well as concrete or masonry substrates. The coating can be applied by airless sprayer, brush or roller. For specific instructions on surface preparation, mixing and application, please refer to the SPI’s application instructions for Rust Grip-E.
