Why Is Rust Protection Necessary?
Does your vehicle need rust protection? In Episode 1 of the Krown Lab series, Krown explains how rust forms, why it is so harmful to your vehicle, and what the five keys an effective rust protection product must perform. Read on to know how the Krown advantage ensures a complete vehicle protection experience.
Why You Need Rust Protection
Knowing why you need rust protection for your vehicle starts with learning what causes rust in the first place. This includes understanding how metal and water interact. While these two are extremely attracted to each other, they only produce harmful effects when combined. Once moisture or water is on the metal for prolonged periods, it causes rust or corrosion.
The situation only gets worse when you have to deal with road salt during winters. Road salt prevents ice from building up on the roads and keeps you safe. However, its effects can be detrimental to your vehicle in the long run.
Road salt bonds to the metal of your vehicle, absorbs moisture from the humidity in the air, and holds it to the surface of your vehicle. Given this scenario, the corrosion process can happen up to 10 times faster. That is why you need rust protection for your vehicle.
5 Features of an Effective Rust Protection Product
Choosing the right rust protection product is crucial in keeping your vehicle safe and protected. Below are the five key features that an effective rust protection product should be able to deliver:
1. Ability To Create a Protective Barrier
A credible rust protection product like Krown effectively prevents moisture or water from coming in contact with the metal. The Krown advantage includes the use of specialized tools to access all corrosion-prone areas of your vehicle.
2. Low Viscosity
This means that the rust protection product has to be thin enough to go anywhere where water can get in.
3. Ability To Displace Moisture
To ensure effective vehicle protection, the product should also have the ability to displace moisture. This means that it must be able to remove any moisture that already came in contact with the metal.
4. Self-Healing Ability
A reliable rust protection product like Krown can handle any road debris that you might encounter on your daily drives.
5. Safe Application To Electrical Components
Electrical components make some of the most costly repairs on vehicles. Given this, you need an effective rust inhibitor product that can be safely applied to these components without causing damage to your vehicle.
