Protection of battery system underbodies

The underbodies of battery systems are constantly exposed to mechanical stress, moisture, and road salt.

Application
Lower shield battery system
Exposure
Stone Chipping & Corrosion
System
Water-Based Underbody Protection System
Curing
Tack-Free at Ambient Temperature

Technical challenge

Stone chips and corrosive substances damage surface coatings and increase the susceptibility of components to corrosion.
