RUST CHECK HISTORY

The idea behind Rust Check started in 1970, when a Canadian pilot strove to find a solution for corrosion in light aircraft. At the time, there were already a number of “rust-proofing” methods available – the application of sealants, tars and waxes – but they couldn’t properly control corrosive oxidation and metallic rust.

At the base of all rust and corrosion is moisture, so finding a way to eliminate moisture was pivotal to the success of an effective rust inhibitor. While alternative products like sealants, tars and waxes were supposed to keep moisture out, they tended to dry out and crack, trapping moisture against the metal surfaces they were meant to guard. Oil sprays were also ineffective, because they float on water and can only bond to metal surfaces for short periods of time. What was needed was a truly effective formula to protect against rust and corrosion.

Enter Rust Check. It was the first precise rust protection formula that performed every function required of a viable rust inhibitor:

  • Moisture displacement
  • Penetration of contaminants
  • Reaching seams, crevices and other hard to access areas
  • Bonding to metal

After two years of rigorous testing, development and refinement, Rust Check was introduced for the automotive industry. In 1973, the first Rust Check Centre opened in Hepworth, Ontario, Canada, and this unique rust protection solution was introduced to the general public. Since then, over 2 million satisfied customers have had Rust Check applications performed on their vehicles.

Rust Check products are versatile and convenient, offered in aerosol packages that are perfect for use at home, the cottage, office or farm.
