Don't Let De-Icing Chemicals "Rust-Jack" Your
Brakes
 In
recent years, fleet operators have experienced a growing problem
with premature brake lining failure due to rusting brake shoes.
This phenomenon is commonly referred to as “rust-jacking”.
It’s caused by the materials state DOTs spray on highways
to address ice and slippery driving conditions. Magnesium chloride,
calcium chloride and road salt have proven to be very corrosive
to truck under-carriages, including brake shoes. The cost associated
with roadside inspections and early brake relines is significant.
The Carlisle/Altec Solution
 Now
Carlisle has a new solution to this industry-wide problem. We’ve
developed RustGard TM, a UV coating that’s applied to our
Altec remanufactured brake shoes. This coating is extremely resistant
to chemical, heat and water exposure and has undergoneextensive
lab and field testing. After the RustGard TMcoating is applied to
the shoe table, we paint the shoe and attach premium Carlisle brake
linings. The result is a lined shoe that will deliver the life and
wear characteristics you came to expect... before you ever heard
the phrase “rust-jacking”.
