Rust prevention
« on: January 26, 2017, 08:31:53 AM »
G'day all, I was talking to a mate at work the other day, we started talking about my beddie project and rust prevention. He mention an electronic device a lot of four wheel drivers are using

Anyone had experience with something like this?

looked interesting but i think this part of their information would make it pretty useless for an old Beddy with so much unpainted and uncoated metal already built into a Beddy.


The overall effectiveness of the CAT system is dependent on a dielectric coating. In most cases this will be paint. Where metal surfaces are left bare, a thin layer of ferric oxide may form. A good quality coating is essential to maximise the protection offered by the CAT System. Where the paint becomes thin and porous due to age or oxidation there is a risk that salt, acid and moisture may penetrate to the metal beneath. To avoid this it is recommended the paint be sealed for maximum performance. Rust repairs can be eliminated and maintenance costs reduced, but it is not simply a matter of installing a CAT unit and expecting miracles. A system must be applied, not just a device.
never to old
