“BONDERIZING”
New Treatment for RustPrevention Still further increasing the value of its product, the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, is now treating against rust the wheels, fenders and other parts of the Ford car and truck which are most likely to be scratched and marred. The process is known as Bonderizing. The exposed metal parts of the Ford car are made of rustless steel which will not rust or tarnish. Bonderizing is a process of treating steel to resist rusting. In the manufacture of the Ford car, the wheels, fenders, running board shields, front splash shields, engine hoods, lamp tie rods, rear light bracket, and miscellaneous nuts and bolts, are treated with Bonderite before they are enamelled or painted. In addition, the running boards on the commercial cars and trucks and the windshield frames and side arms on the open models are similarly treated. No mattei’ what kind of a finish is given a. motor car, there is always the possibility of the enamel being scratched. Wheels, fenders, and other parts of the car are often damaged thus while the car is being parked. When the surface is scratched and the bare metal exposed rust sets in almost immediately. Not only does this corrode the metal itself, but the rust growth acts as a wedge which creeps under the adjacent enamel surface and causes it to peel off. When this occurs the car soon takes on a shabby appearance. The Bonderizing treatment prevents this. Even if the enamel should be scratched to such an extent as to expose the bare metal, the treatment will prevent rust.—Advt.
