Paint Directly Over Rust

RustOx is a tough, durable, direct-to-rust, direct-to-metal coating. RustOx dries quickly and provides years of protection against further degradation and rust bleed-through. 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.  Once dry, it is hammer tough and withstands significant impacts and point loads.

RustOx. “Best-in-Class” Dry & Recoat time!

RustOx’s quick-drying formula dries in a dazzling 30 minutes or less.  The second coat can be applied immediately thereafter.  Other coatings requires hours, and sometimes days, between coats.   RustOx slashes the time normally required to complete a job, making it the obvious choice for jobs on a critical timeline.

RustOx Coating on Ship

RustOx is unlike any other corrosion coating on the market.

1. Water-based.
2. Zero to extremely low VOC content.
3. Environmentally-friendly.
4. Does not require sand blasting.
5. Does not require priming. (Priming with Encore KnockOut™ is recommended for submerged and saltwater applications.)
6. Applies in minutes. (Can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed.)
7. Post-construction repair is simple.
8. Cleanup with water.
9. Outstanding performance in both field and lab testing.
10. Tints to any color by adding acrylic paint.
11. One of the most cost effective coatings available.

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.

Encore Coating

RustOx can be used to protect an infinite number of metal structures 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 water-white profile or to prime.

RustOx is currently available in a 1.5-gallon size. RustOx tints to virtually any color when you add acrylic paint (one quart) 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.

ASTM salt-fog and saltwater submersion testing was performed on specimens that were primed with KnockOut, Encore’s rust converter and primer.  For best performance, Encore highly recommends that users follow this standard.

Estimated coverage per gallon: 2 coats – 90 square feet; 1 coat – 180 square feet. Two coats required (20-24 mils).
