The Technology Behind Rust Patrol
Nanotechnology Takes on Rust
Rust Patrol was invented in Houston, TX by Dr. James Tour, a preeminent scientist in the field of nanotechnology. Rust Patrol uses nanotechnology to work better, faster, and longer than any other thin-film temporary coating on the market. Actively seeking metal like a magnet, Rust Patrol forms a bond at the molecular level, giving more complete coverage. It’s tenacious — it doesn’t wear off easily.
