Moist Metal Grip

Liquid Reinforcement Coating

MOIST METAL GRIP is a two-part epoxy designed to provide a water resistant, anti-corrosion coating to wet and submerged surfaces. MOIST METAL GRIP is extremely flexible, tough, and durable.

Moist Metal Grip - Liquid Reinforcement Coating

Benefits

  • Prevents corrosion of coated materials from the damaging effects of submersion or constant moisture exposure.
  • Applied to moist or condensating pipes or metal surfaces that cannot be dried or stopped to dry before applying a corrosion coating.
  • Submergible after only 48 hours of cure time. Finishes curing while submerged.
  • Displaces the moisture on the surface and the epoxies attach to the metal surface and cures chemically.
  • Acid and chemical resistant.
  • Smooth finish, self-levelling and can be tinted any colour desired.
  • Can be applied to steel, aluminum, wood, and concrete.

Uses

  • Apply to wet surfaces that cannot be dried before applying a corrosion coating.
  • Use for all metal and concrete surfaces that are exposed to constant water pooling or condensation. If metal is to be submerged, use MOIST METAL GRIP to protect it while under water.
  • Can be used to protect inside of water tanks. MOIST METAL GRIP is a polyamide formula base that is safe for potable water uses.
  • Can be applied over metal or concrete surfaces that are also flooring. MOIST METAL GRIP is tough enough to withstand traffic.

Application

Although MOIST METAL GRIP can be applied by non-professionals, Superior Products International recommends using a certified applicator. Contact Superior Products Europe for details.

Application methods:

  • Airless or pot sprayed: tip size .015; apply in two coats.
  • Roller or brush: apply in three coats.
  • Add an additional coat for vertical surfaces

Applied rate:

Metal: 6.14m2/liter    Concrete: 4.90m2/liter

Film thickness:

Wet: 0.25-0.35mm    Dry: 0.130-0.180mm

Temperature:

0°C (32°F) - 38°C (100°F)
Colder temperatures will increase dry time.

Dry times:

4 hours to touch.
10 hours to recoat.
Recommended applying first coat at night.

Full cure:

10 days. Can be submerged after 48 hours.

Precautions:

6-8 hour pot life.

Limitations

  • Do not use as a single-corrosion coat system exposed to the sun. Epoxies will chalk when exposed to UV over time.
  • On food preparation surfaces that are in direct contact with foodstuffs.
  • Do not apply over chlorinated rubber. Even after sandblasting, the chlorination can attack the solvents and brittle the coating.
