A leg on the Mississippi 190 Baton Rouge Railroad/Passenger Car Bridge was coated with Rust Grip® “without any prep” in 2003 and inspected in 2010 by NACE III Engineering Group finding no corrosion and no bleed through, and rechecked in 2013 confirming no corrosion development. From this Performance, the QPL (Qualified Product Listing) for Rust Grip® was issued.
Rust Grip® experiences no loss in performance over its 20+ year life expectancy in the harshest environments.
It is approved for encapsulation of asbestos in Saudi Aramco Oil to last for a minimum of 50 years.
Super Therm® (solar heat block), Rust Grip® (corrosion prevention) and Enamo Grip (complete sealant) coatings selected for SSPC E. Crone Knoy Award. Recognized for Innovative Coating Performance at Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge – Colorado River Bridge.
After extensive testing, the SPI Coatings were selected for the railings surrounding the observation deck on the Bridge, which expects 3 to 5 million visitors each year. No other coatings could produce the level of corrosion protection, ease of application, and radiant heat reduction on the railings demonstrated by the SPI Coatings.
A very unique coating system was used on the project call Super Therm®. This product reflects 95% of radiation from the sun. That is why the Federal Highway Department chose this product.
The extreme temperatures of the Arizona/Nevada desert averages 35 to 43°c (95 to 110°F) on most days. The railings that visitors touch are just too hot for skin. Super Therm® as the core heat reduction insulation coating has completely cooled the thermal temperature of the railings and allowed visitors to safely touch.
Numerous steel structures such as water tanks, bridges, aircraft hangars, antennas, ladders, poles, railings, catwalks, fire hydrants, fuel storage tanks, and metal buildings were constructed or installed with lead-based coatings. The removal of lead-based paint from steel structures is currently accomplished through a variety of methods, the most common being abrasive blasting.
Prior to recoating steel structures, abrasive blasting is required in order to remove the old lead-based paint and to provide adequate surface profile for bonding the new paint to the substrate. During abrasive blasting, a tight containment structure is required to prevent lead dust from contaminating air, soil or water. Inside such containment structures, increased worker protection is required due to high lead dust concentrations. The large, concentrated volume of waste generated by abrasive blasting is hazardous and requires additional stabilization treatment prior to disposal. RUST GRIP® eliminates sandblasting. Read More >
