RUSTGRIP

recent photos are courtesy of Mr. Ted Hopwood at the University of Kentucky.
Problem: Trains operating under the bridge leave severe diesel soot and
carbon deposits behind, resulting in a corroding bridge structure.
Solution: Two coats of RUST
GRIP ® applied by brush at 200 sq.ft.(18 sq. meters) per gallon,
covered by ENAMO
GRIP ® sprayed on using an airless sprayer at 250 sq.ft.(22 sq.
meters) per gallon. Tip size was .016 (16/1000 inch) or 400 micron (0.4mm).
After 8+ years of protection from RUST
GRIP ® and ENAMO
GRIP ®, Mr. Ted Hopwood at the University of Kentucky, which does
research for the Kentucky Dept. of Transportation, reported the coating was still
doing an outstanding job and looked very good.
The
small bright spots on the surface of the ENAMO
GRIP ® was where a pipe was removed and the anchor holes
were patched.
