Ruststop
Car in Pinetown

One of the key principles that has made RustStop® so successful is the fact that they have remained realistic and honest about the expected results from their products.
The first model was the RustStop® MKI and it was manufactured by a team of just 3 technicians under the supervision of 2 of the original 3 electronic engineers in a small workshop.

They identified that if there was a way to combine the two proven technologies; impressed current and sacrificial anode; they could get the best of both and find an effective way to protect an open air structure using electronic rust protection. Combining these two technologies was a complex procedure as it is not a case of having them run in tandem, they need to be fully integrated. Diverse Electronics now exports into all continents and has become the preferred supplier to various government departments and OEMs. Leading the world in Electronic Rust Protection for over 25 years. Separate Two-Channel Output gives intelligent protection where you need it most. Combines two proven technologies making it effective in all conditions. Automotive Electronic Rust Protection, 24 hour Protection and the only system which successfully two proven technologies. Industrial Electronic Rust Protection with heavy duty output for protection of large equipment and structures. It helps protect the entire car, inside and outside, which sprays cannot do\. Spray-on coatings often need be re-applied over time, whereas electronic rust protection is permanent. Electronic rust proofing will compliment any other undercoating or spray-on type rust proofing, increasing your protection, as electronic rust protection can only improve your rust defence\. Will compliment any other spray-on type rust proofing, increasing your protection\. We use only high quality Electronic Components to ensure a reliable product\. The Electronic Components are contained in a high quality ABS approved enclosure, which can withstand very low temperatures as well as the very high temperatures. Any steel contains millions of free-electrons which are negatively charged and move around in the metal due to positive and negative charge differences caused mainly by impurities in the steel. These small charge differences (normally around 1 volt) act almost like a magnet, and so the negative free-electrons are attracted toward and accumulate at the positive points. When these free-electrons are exposed to oxygen and moisture, a reaction occurs and they are lost from the steel. There is an argument that any product using anodes cannot work unless the anodes are submerged in water or buried in soil, and so do not work on cars or any other open-air equipment. The anodes are placed where they will get wet whenever the vehicle is wet due to rain, atmospheric moisture and dew, meaning that protection is achieved around each anode during the highest risk periods. Each anode provides protection to the local area surrounding it, and when multiple anodes are fitted, this protection area can be overlapped, providing all over protection. Original Cathodic Protection systems, like for pipelines, had the anodes totally separated from the steel being protected. This technology relied on the soil between the anode and pipe to be conductive in order for protection to occur. Because the tape is open-cell, it responds to any moisture present, even atmospheric humidity and increases conductivity and protection when needed most.
