A Water-Based Option to Coal Tar Epoxy.


Encore Coatings
 The RustOx System.

Cartersville, GA. A coating system manufactured by Encore Coatings, LLC
is gaining fast popularity with barge, tug, and fishing boat owners around
the US.
The RustOx System is becoming a popular alternative to coal tar epoxy
(CTE) for many reasons. Here’s how the System compares to (CTE):
• Substrates don’t have to be sandblasted to white profile prior to
coating.
• It’s more ductile than CTE, so it can withstand impact.
• It has a substantially longer pot-life (12 mos or more).
• It can be applied in a greater temperature range (40-90 F).
• It dries faster. Approximately 15 minutes between coats.
• It can be sprayed, brushed, or rolled with ordinary paint equipment.
• It can be tinted to virtually any color.
• It has superior adhesion.
• It outperforms CTE in salt-fog and salt-water submersion testing.
• It’s environmentally-friendly.
• Water cleanup makes everything easier and preserves tools.
• Regulatory agencies like water-based coatings and are looking for
alternatives to CTE.
Testing.
The RustOx System was tested according to ASTM and Petroleum Institute
test methods. Long-term salt-fog and saltwater submersion tests were
conducted on coated specimens.
The standard test duration for ASTM B-117-11 is 72 hours. The RustOx
System maintained a rust grade of 10 at 72 hours, so testing continued.
Testing ended at 720 hours with the specimens maintaining a rust grade
of 8 (ASTM D610-08 (12)) above the water line and a rust grade of 10
below the water line. Both grades are excellent results.

The RustOx System.
With loose scale removed and
surface cleaned, brush, roll, or spray
the KnockOut (KO) Rust Converter &
Primer. KO will convert the steel to
black iron oxide. Allow to dry for 4-6
hours before applying 2 RustOx
topcoats.
The RustOx Systems Delivers Performance & Reduces Downtime! Order today!

Easy-to-use rust coating

Easy-to-use rust coating.

rust preventing paint|paint over rust|direct to rust paint|option to coal tar epoxy|
On rusted surfaces, RustOx requires no priming. Simply remove loose rust scale, wipe with a solvent such as MEK, then apply two coats of RustOx with ordinary paint equipment*. A primer coat is recommended on bare metal surfaces.  Contact Encore for information on KnockOut, Encore’s Rust Converter & Primer.
RustOx can be used to protect metal structures and marine vessels against rust. From highway infrastructure projects to marine applications, you can rely on RustOx. RustOx’s unique formula suffocates surface rust and prevents it from bleeding through the coating. RustOx is the answer for engineers and specifiers that don’t have the time or resources to blast steel to a white profile or to prime.
RustOx is available in multiple sizes. RustOx tints to virtually any color when you add acrylic paint (1 quart or 1 gallon depending on size) in your color choice. Please note: RustOx’s formulation may effect the final color by adding a light grey tint. For example, a white paint will produce a very light grey as depicted in the above right picture. RustOx imparts a slightly textured finish to hide blemishes left on surfaces by rust.
Estimated coverage per gallon: 2 coats – 40-45 square feet; 1 coat – 80-90 square feet. Two coats required (20-24 mils).
* ASTM and Petroleum Institute salt-fog chamber and salt-water submersion testing was conducted on specimens that were first primed with KnockOut, Encore’s Rust Converter & Primer.  Encore recommends that KnockOut be used as a base primer on all applications that are submerged, or vulnerable to a salt-water environment.

RustOx is a tough, durable, DTR (direct-to-rust), DTM (direct-to-metal coating). When applied, RustOx suffocates surface rust and prevents rust bleed-through. RustOx dries quickly and provides years of protection against further degradation. RustOx is a single-component, water-based formulation. It can be applied on-site or at an off-site coating facility, making it one of the most cost-effective solutions available.
RustOx has been thoroughly tested both in the lab and in the field.  RustOx has shown superior results in harsh, salt-water conditions.  As a result, RustOx can be used to protect both inland and marine structures from the environment.  To replicate test results, always use KnockOut, Encore’s Rust Converter & Primer in salt-water environments or submerged conditions.
RustOx is unlike any other corrosion coating on the market.
1. Water-based.
2. Zero to extremely low VOC content.
3. Environmentally-friendly.
4. Does not require sand blasting.
5. Does not require priming.

Coal Tar Epoxy vers RustOx & KnockOut


New Standard in Safe, Water-Based Steel Coatings.

In salt-water applications, treat and prime steel and aluminum with KnockOut, Encore’s Rust Converter & Primer System.  Once KnockOut is dry, top coat with two coats of RustOx.  This system is a proven performer, providing a safe solution to coal tar epoxy systems.
This steel coating system is dramatically faster than coal tar epoxy.  Typically, with coal tar epoxy, the applicator must blast the substrate to a white profile, prime, and then apply two coats of coal tar epoxy, waiting 24 hours between coats.
RustOx is a tough, durable, direct-to-rust coating that suffocates rust and prevents rust bleed-through.  Requires minimum prep.  Simply remove loose rust scale or loose coating,  and wipe with MEK before painting.  RustOx dries quickly and provides years of protection against further degradation.  Approved for inland and salt-water environments.  Great for steel, aluminum, and galvanized surfaces.
KnockOut is setting a new standard in safe, water-based priming systems – even for the most demanding applications.
KnockOut can be applied with an airless sprayer, brushed, or rolled.  Knockout is unlike other converter/primers because it’s thick enough to stay in place on vertical surfaces without sagging.  It can be sprayed overhead and won’t drip.
KnockOut converts within seconds, dries within minutes, and can be top-coated with any paint or coating that is compatible with an acrylic film.  Only one coat is required, which saves considerable time and material expense.
KnockOut has surpassed other types of converter/primer systems in ASTM and Petroleum Institute testing by as much as 10:1 in service life testing (salt fog chamber and salt-water submersion).  See test report.
KnockOut is available in 55-gallon drums, 5-gallon drums, 1 gallon and 1 quart containers.
Applications include: Marine. bridges, ships, barges, offshore platforms, oil and gas pipelines, marina dry stack storage, steel sheet piling, aluminum sheet piling, etc.  Inland.  amusement parks, steel staircases, water towers, golf cart bridges, and countless other home and farm applications.
