The problem

Marine infrastructure — ports, jetties, marine fuel tanks, ships, water towers — suffers from accelerated corrosion driven by salt, humidity, oxygen, and mechanical stress. Conventional paints peel within 3–5 years, and expensive maintenance cycles drive downtime.

The solution

RUST GRIP® is a single-component, moisture-cure polyurethane that bonds to existing rust, locks it down, and prevents future corrosion. It applies directly over light-rust steel surfaces. Over it we apply ENAMO GRIP® — a two-component polyurethane enamel with UV stability and color retention. This system has passed 15,000+ hours of ASTM B-117 salt-spray testing.

Results

MIL-SPEC certified for marine defense projects. Deployed on cargo vessels, ports, and marine tankage worldwide. Chevron’s 8-year RUST GRIP® study on drill pipes produced industry-leading results.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can I apply it on rusted surfaces?

    RUST GRIP® is engineered for it — it penetrates existing rust and forms an energetic layer that stabilizes it. Only mechanical cleaning is required, not white-metal sandblasting.

  • What service life can I expect in seawater?

    The RUST GRIP® + ENAMO GRIP® system is designed for 15+ years under typical marine exposure. In the harshest environments, an ENAMO GRIP® refresh may be needed after 8–10 years.
