Rust Stop is a universal anticorrosion developed by the Canadian company AMT Inc. This is a novelty in the market of protective automotive compounds, which is rapidly gaining popularity among professionals. “Rust Stop” includes a line of tools, which is currently considered one of the most effective against rusting the bottom and body of a car.

Composition and functions
Rust Stop Antikor is a non-toxic, environmentally friendly preparation based on highly refined oils (up to 99.5%) with the addition of thixotropic components and special Rustproofing corrosion inhibitors. The latter are represented by substances of the calcium sulfonate group. Also, “Rust Stop” contains an ion rust transducer that strengthens the polar bonds in the metal layer, which borders on already damaged material. Other components of anticorrosive:
- wetting agents;
- antioxidants;
- bioadditives;
- red pigment for ease of application.
Antikor has a high penetrating ability, due to which it is easily applied to metal and penetrates even into narrow cracks, microcracks, any joints and joints. This anticorrosive has an extremely low surface tension, so the composition is characterized by a high degree of slip and low friction. After penetration into the layers of rust and the surface of the base, “Stop Stop” has the following actions:
- the formation of bonds with scale, its transformation into a safe, chemically inert substance;
- alignment of the pH of the metal, elimination of increased acidity;
- displacement of loose rust;
- moisturizing, lubricating surfaces;
- an increase in the heat capacity of the metal;
- improved absorption capabilities and noise reduction.
Thanks to the composition safe for humans and any surfaces, the absence of chemically aggressive substances, anticorrosive can be applied not only to car parts. It is suitable for domestic needs, including items that are often touched with hands. “Rust Stop” extends the service life and optimizes the operation of fasteners, keyholes, electronic circuit boards and other devices, electrical switches. Antikor is available in two forms:
- marked "A" - a means for suppressing corrosion, designed for hidden cavities;
- marked "B" - composition for inhibiting corrosion and protecting wheel arches, underbody and bodywork.
to contents ↑Rust Stop can be found in different volumes and forms. The most popular, according to reviews, is a spray of 400 ml. If necessary, you can buy liquid in banks and cans of 500-1000 ml.
Advantages of anti-rust “Rust Stop” for cars
The product is intended to protect the car body from corrosion, as well as to remove already appeared rust and prevent its occurrence in the future. Antikor can be considered a universal tool, since it is applied to other metal objects. Rast Stop is compatible with any paints and varnishes and is able to extend the life of previous coatings.
Other advantages of the product:
- unsurpassed moisture-displacing and anticorrosive properties;
- lack of cracking, peeling;
- preservation of elasticity throughout the entire service life;
- the possibility of self-tightening of the coating when small defects appear;
- blocking the harmful effects of salt, oxygen, water, fast passivation of the upper layer of metal;
- non-toxicity, lack of need for special protection of hands at work, safety for nature, people, animals.
Anticorrosive Rust Stop, unlike other means, always remains in a semi-liquid state and does not harden until the final filling of cracks, pits, chips. It does not spoil parts made of oil and petrol resistant rubber. The agent penetrates the crystal lattice of the metal at the molecular level, forming a reliable layer of corrosion inhibitors. The big advantage is that the anticorrosive effect does not depend on compliance with the polymerization regime - this facilitates the work with the composition, simplifies the technology. Also, after applying anticorrosive, no unpleasant odor remains in the cabin.
to contents ↑Instructions for use
Rust Stop does not require serious preparation before use. Prior to application, it is not necessary to degrease the surfaces, thoroughly clean and grind them. Nevertheless, to reduce the consumption of “Rust Stop”, body parts must be thoroughly washed before processing, and then blow off moisture droplets from the base (forced drying is not necessary). In the presence of large layers of rust, they must be carefully cleaned with a metal brush. Works with anticorrosive materials are carried out in any weather.
Rust Stop is applied in the most convenient way for you: with a brush or spray. It is left for 10-12 hours until the moisture evaporates and thickens. Do not wash the car for 48 hours after treatment. Cars, on the body of which another anticorrosive agent was previously applied, can be processed by “Stop Stop” without restrictions.
The tool for hidden cavities is used for applying to such parts:
- thresholds;
- amplifiers for double eyes;
- spars cavity;
- brackets;
- levers, beams, cups of springs, suspension joints;
- welds;
- fasteners details;
- ball bearings.
to contents ↑When processing the engine compartment, it is necessary to protect the generator brushes and the fan belt in advance, since Rast Stop includes lubricants that can impair the function of these elements.
Anticorrosive dilution: what is needed and how is it carried out
Anticorrosive, which is sold in a cylinder, is already ready for use, it should not be diluted. Concentrate for application with a brush is sometimes too viscous, but it is better to make it suitable for use by heating. It is not recommended to pour other corrosion inhibitors, solvents into the drug - this can not only reduce effectiveness, but also completely ruin the anticorrosive.
In order for Rast Stop to really give reliable protection to car parts, it is recommended to make a uniform coating with a thickness of at least 0.2 mm. Regularly updating the layer, there is a chance to significantly extend the life of the machine and eliminate the need for overhaul.
