Protective coatings against stone chips
Certain vehicle components are subjected to particularly high mechanical stresses. Stone chips and abrasion cause damage that can lead to corrosion over time.
- Application
- Covers, Steering Components & Structural Parts
- Exposure
- Stone Chipping, Water Splash & Salt
- System
- Water-Based Protective Coating
- Curing
- Fast Drying at Ambient Temperature
Technical challenge
Stone chips damage existing surface coatings and expose the substrate. At the same time, protective coatings must ensure high durability and good adhesion.
