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.

Easy-to-use rust coating.

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.

Encore Coatings

 Water-based rust coating system that replaces coal tar epoxy.

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.
