FAQ

Krown Rust Protection

Krown is designed to slow down or inhibit corrosion on vehicles. It is a petroleum based product with rust inhibitors containing no solvents. In fact the Krown product is environmentally safe, contains no toxins, is non-flammable, is non-reactive, is non-corrosive, can be sprayed in any weather, remains active, and is not WHMIS controlled.

Does it drip? And for how long?

The product must get into the seams and around spot welds to work effectively. It is moisture that causes corrosion, so an effective rust inhibitor needs to be thin enough to penetrate anywhere that water can. After the product has penetrated these areas, the excess product drips off. The majority of the dripping occurs within 24-48 hours with very little, if any, dripping after that point. Don’t worry Krown is environmentally-friendly.

How does Krown actually work?

Krown is sprayed in every corner of the vehicle and as it contacts metal, it lifts the moisture off and out of seams. It then continues to repel moisture by setting up a moisture resistant bond on the surface of the metal.

What is the best time of the year to get my vehicle sprayed?

If your vehicle has never been protected, then the best time to spray it is right now. From a corrosion point of view, the corrosion process is most active in the spring and summer months due to the increase in temperature. However, an annual application of Krown, regardless of the time of year it is applied in, will provide 12 months of protection against corrosion.

Many companies use coating products that are designed to cover over areas that are susceptible to rust. These products may look nice but they do not provide adequate protection against corrosion. For example, these types of coatings can be breached by abrasion or chipping. When this happens, moisture can enter in under the coating and become trapped against the vehicle surface. In this situation the coating will actually accelerate corrosion rather than prevent it. Krown by comparison is self-healing and is constantly creeping, remaining active to continuously repel moisture and keep it away from the metal surface. In addition, unlike coating-type products, Krown penetrates into even the tightest seams and spot welds delivering a much more effective and comprehensive protection. One final difference is the added benefit that Krown offers of lubricating many moving parts on a vehicle such as door locks, brake cables, power antennas, etc. Coating products cannot do this.

Do I have to Krown my vehicle every year?

To ensure that your vehicle is adequately protected, it is essential to have it treated every year. Especially these days when extremely aggressive road chemicals are in use for de-icing our roads, make sure you come in for a treatment every year.

Does Krown offer a warranty against corrosion?

Undercoating is an old technology designed to cover the exposed surfaces of your vehicle with a wax or tar based coating. While these undercoating products look good at a glance, they are not truly effective in protecting your vehicle. Undercoating products do not have the ability to creep and penetrate in the seams, spot welds and other hard to access areas of your vehicle like Krown will. These are the areas the rust is most likely to form! Also, as these coatings wear, crack and become damaged they can actually trap moisture against the metal surfaces of your vehicle and accelerate corrosion. Many people classify Krown as an undercoating or rust proofing product, but Krown’s unique formulation is able to protect your vehicle in ways that traditional undercoating cannot!

Can you Krown rusty vehicles?

Both new and used vehicles are susceptible to rust and our product works on both. Krown is absorbed into existing corrosion and pushes out any moisture, thus slowing any further corrosion down significantly
