Engineering Test Results for RPM (Rust Prevention Magic) -E.C.S. Automotive Concepts
Validation Test Report
Subject: RPM (Rust Prevention Magic) Produced by E.C.S. Automotive Concepts
Initial Observation: RPM is easy to apply and does not significantly change color or appearance of the
component. Application is quickly completed and cure time is minimal.
Test Parameters: Thermal Shock, 1000 Hour Salt Fog (60% Solution), Acid Exposure, Abrasive Testing,
Salt Spray (92% Solution).
Test Subject: Steel Tie Rod End
Procedure: RPM applied to the Steel Tie Rod End via instructions included on the Product Label.
Product applied exactly as indicated, adequate cure time observed followed by Validation/Durability
test. RPM applied prior to the first test only, original application exposed to each test.
Test: Thermal Shock
Purpose: Expose component treated with RPM to temperature Extremes (-140F to +135F)
Duration: 10 Hours
Procedure: Component inspected prior to test, excellent coverage of RPM observed. Component placed
in thermal chamber at room temperature, initial test heated component to 135F, temperature cycled to
-140F at various intervals, ranging from 5 minutes to 1 hour. Cycle repeated for a total of 10 hours.
Thermal Shock Results: Completion of 10 hour thermal shock test revealed no measurable degree of
deterioration or discoloration of the component.
Grade: 100% Durability
Test: 1000 Hour Salt Fog (60% Solution)
Purpose: Expose RPM treated component to 60% salt solution for 1000 hours using Salt Fog mode.
Duration: 1000 Hours
Procedure: Component inspected prior to salt fog test, Excellent Coverage of RPM on component
observed. RPM treated component placed in salt fog chamber for 1000 hours and exposed to a 60% salt
solution. After 1000 hour test completed the component was removed from the chamber for
inspection. Inspection method included visual and magnified scope.
Salt Fog Test Results: Inspection revealed no measurable degree of deterioration, discoloring or
degradation to the RPM coating or the steel component. The RPM coating provided remarkable
protection and corrosion resistance.
Grade: 100% Protection/Durability
