Protection architecture

How Diamond Kote rust proofing works

Diamond Kote uses a multi-product system that protects hidden internal metal and exposed underbody components. The chemistry stays flexible through Canadian temperature changes so the barrier holds where rust normally begins.

Diamond Kote Liquid Corrosion Protection

Applied under high pressure into body panels, seams, spot welds, and crevices where rust typically starts first.

  • Penetrates deep into seams and joints
  • Creates a barrier against moisture and air
  • Stays flexible through seasonal temperature changes
  • Stops corrosion before visible rust appears

Diamond Kote Vulcanized Undercoating (Sound Shield)

A premium rubberized coating for exposed underbody zones that need impact and abrasion resistance.

  • Durable and abrasion-resistant protection
  • Flexible coating that will not crack or peel
  • Seals metal from salt, moisture, and debris
  • Reduces road and engine noise
  • Improves underbody appearance

Fabric Protection

Creates an invisible barrier across carpets and upholstery to help resist spills, stains, and seasonal salt residue.
