How Electronic Rust Proofing Works
Gary Swanepoel | ITB - Wednesday, July 07, 2010
Rust is the loss of electrons from within metal. Oxygen combines with the metal atom and forms Ferric Oxide (FE2O3) which is otherwise known as Rust. An Electronic Rust Proofing unit interferes with the oxidization cycle by artificially pumping electrons into the vehicle so our supply of electrons exceeds demand.
This is achieved by creating a capacitor. We use a specially designed pad which is affixed to the paint to act as the positive plate in the capacitor. The paint becomes the dielectric which in turn holds the charge static (keeps the electrons from flowing away) and the body of the vehicle or structure acts as the negative plate in the capacitor.
The Electronic Rust Proofing unit is approximately the size of a deck of playing cards and runs off the vehicle battery, drawing less power than your dashboard clock. The electronic printed circuit board is totally encapsulated in an epoxy resin, which makes it waterproof.
