First Scientific Testing
at the University of Nevada, Reno

The first independent testing laboratory selected was the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR).
UNR was chosen because it is a fully accredited, 125 year old University, assuring creditability
and impartiality.

The following is the summary of 2 tests performed at the University of Nevada, Reno:

“ATTENTION: ROBERT MURPHY-PRESIDENT/CEO.

SUBJECT: SUMMARY OF 2 TESTS ON YOUR CORROSION
PROTECTION COMPOUND.

Dear Mr. Murphy,

Reference the above and the sample sent to me for testing the
corrosion protection of the above compound as compared to
Rustoleum.

Summary of Expt. #1:
Two stainless steel rods were sprayed with Rustoleum and coated with your compound, dried for 12 hours at 20 degrees C, and then immersed in hydrochloric acid, approximately 5% by weight.

After immersing the same for 8.5 hours, at room temperature, the Rustoleum coating peeled off, whereas your compound’s coating remained intact.

CONCLUSION:
YOUR COMPOUND WORKS BETTER THAN RUSTOLEUM.

Rod #1 is coated with Rust-oleum®,
Rod #2 is coated with Rust Bullet®

Summary of Expt. #2:
Three identical six inch long black iron nipples were sanded, washed and dried, then immersed in about 10% hydrochloric acid.

The first nipple was sanded and immersed in the acid as-is, whereas the second nipple was coated, twice, with Rustoleum and the third nipple was coated with your product.

The nipples were dried, two with the coatings, for two hours and 26 minutes at 30 degrees C, thereafter the nipples were immersed in the above acid, SG of 1.052.

After four hours, the Rustoleum was peeling, whereas your compound was intact.

Nipple #1 is the Control Nipple,
Nipple #2 is two coats of Rust-oleum®,
Nipple #3 is one coat of Rust Bullet®

After 6 hours and 20 minutes, Rustoleum was completely removed, whereas the as-is nipple showed normal corrosion and your product’s coating was intact.

After 16 hours and 27 minutes your coating was still intact, whereas, the Rustoleum was long gone, as above, and the as-is showed accelerated acid corrosion.

CONCLUSION:
YOUR COMPOUND WORKS BETTER THAN RUSTOLEUM.
A formal report with photographs will be sent to you this week.

Sincerely,

The requirements for testing Rust Bullet® became so in-depth that UNR could not provide some of the sophisticated equipment necessary to perform the corrosion control products testing; therefore, three additional accredited independent laboratories, specializing in the type of scientific testing Rust Bullet® required, were sought out...
