Back in 1970, a Canadian pilot aimed to combat the corrosion of dissimilar metals and electronic components in light aircrafts. After careful and thorough research, it was discovered that the conventional rust proofing techniques such as sealants, tars, and waxes were keeping the moisture out, but also keeping the moisture in. In fact, oils were simply floating on top of the water. Clearly, further research was needed.

 Oil spray would not bond to metal surfaces for prolonged periods of time. The hypothesis was that a precise formula of various chemicals was needed to displace moisture, penetrate contaminants, absorb into seams and crevices, and bond to metal. Conducting two years of further research led to the creation of Rust Check’s patented formula, which was created and refined for the automotive industry. In the fall of 1973, this unique chemically formulated, environmentally responsible, low VOC (volatile organic compounds) rust protection system was introduced through the first Rust Check Center in Hepworth, Ontario, Canada.

Since 1973, more than two million Rust Check body protection applications have been performed with truly amazing results. Early research affirms that the application of sealants, tars, and waxes was clearly the wrong approach to controlling corrosive oxidation and metallic rust out. Moisture was the primary catalyst that accelerated the corrosion process. Therefore, the elimination of moisture was essential to the success of a powerful rust inhibitor.
