ENAMO GRIP Water Based (W/B)

DESCRIPTION:
ENAMO GRIP is a tough, single-component anionic dispersion of an aliphatic polyester urethane polymer in water. This unique formulation offers UV control and weatherability far superior to standard acrylic or blends that show weakness to acid rain and severe weather changes and climate conditions. 

The formulation has additional UV blockers and antiflash rust inhibitors that strengthen the ability of the coating to face today's industrial pollutants and city smog, as well as the increased UV radiation. This coating was designed to overcoat SUPER THERM and flex with the insulation coating without hairline cracking, resists UV rays for stability, resists ponding water and maintains its toughness, resists light foot traffic without harm to the coating surface.

This coating can be used alone as a finish coating over facilities and equipment. Designed with automotive grade pigments to insure longevity in weathering and toughness. NOTE: Being water-borne, the surface film is not acceptable for anti-graffiti protection and removal as is our solvent-based ENAMO GRIP. Only the original ENAMO GRIP is designed for anti-graffiti protection.

The overall toughness, durability, and weather resistance of ENAMO GRIP W/B polyurethane polymers make this a good choice for demanding product applications for architectural/maintenance situations that require the utmost in exterior/interior durability.

APPLICATION METHODS:
Surfaces must be clean and dry before application. Loose or flaking old paints or corrosion must be removed from surfaces before applying. High-pressure water-blasting is as effective as light sand-blasting in removing loose or flaking surfaces if you use 5000 psi. As a rule, "coating is only as good as the surface it covers." Grease, oil, waxy substance, dirt, etc. must be cleaned from surfaces. Old paints can remain if bonded solidly to surfaces. ENAMO GRIP W/B can bond to metal, masonry, wood and other porous surface substrates. ENAMO GRIP W/B can be applied best by brush, squeegee or foam applicator. Airless sprayers can be used using a 18-thousandth tip for a smooth, even finish.
