Why Rustproofing is More Important Than Ever


Rustproofing

your vehicle has always been a smart way to save on repair bills, but with recent developments in road deicing technologies, it’s now more critical than ever. New chemical compounds and methods are improving road safety, but they’re also becoming increasingly effective at corroding vehicle components. One low-tech yet highly corrosive material making this problem worse is brine, or saltwater. This has led to a growing need for rustproofing solutions.

Rust on Vehicle

The Impact of Brine on Vehicles

According to Triblive.com, mechanics in the Allegheny, Pennsylvania region have observed a significant rise in rust-related issues since road crews began using brine. Common problems include:

  • Bolts and rims rusted together
  • Brake line corrosion
  • Weakening of vehicle frames

One mechanic described the issue: “These cars are shiny on top, and the underside’s just dissolved.”

What is Brine and Why is it a Problem?

Brine is simply table salt dissolved in water. Road crews use it to melt ice, either by wetting salt to keep it in place or by spraying it directly on roads before a storm. While this proactive approach can prevent icy conditions and save lives, it also accelerates vehicle corrosion. Unlike granular salt, which can bounce off and lodge in crevices, liquid brine seeps into more areas and adheres to surfaces better. Its corrosive properties are also activated immediately, making it even more harmful to your vehicle.

How to Protect Your Vehicle

While frequent car washes can help, they are not enough. Many road crews now use binding agents that cause deicing chemicals to stick to your vehicle, even after washing. Additionally, traditional rubber undercoatings can crack over time, trapping salt and moisture rather than keeping them out.

The modern solution to this growing problem is NHOU, a state-of-the-art rustproofing treatment designed to protect against these aggressive deicing measures. NHOU prevents rust and corrosion while extending the life of your vehicle.
