Surface was pressure-washed using Simple Green as a cleaner, and rinsed. It was allowed to totally dry before RUST GRIP® was applied. RUST GRIP® was applied at 190sqft/gallon. (8.5 mils wet – 4.25 mils dry). ENAMO GRIP Polyurethane was applied at 190sqft/gallon as well (8.5 mils wet – 4.25 mils dry), once the RUST GRIP® surface was “tack free”.
Existing tanks at Suncore Energy in Grand Junction, Colorado, USA had been previously coated with national competitor’s products. After failing, Superior Products’ RUST GRIP® and ENAMO GRIP coatings were chosen for improved durability and longevity. It was also required that the coating have a high reflectivity to repel visual light from the surface, and reduce heat gain. While at the same time, be a color that would be compatible with the surrounding colors of the landscape.
The RUST GRIP® / ENAMO GRIP polyurethane system proved to meet all requirements and was chosen for the application on the tanks and applied.
