Find your solution in one of our application examples
The following "case studies" are intended to provide an overview of the functionalities of our PFINDER products in the various application cases. For the individual use cases, challenges and suitable solutions have been worked out and clearly summarized. In the explicit application examples, recommendations are given for the use of corresponding PFINDER products.
Battery system protection
Battery systems in BEVs are exposed to high levels of moisture and direct stone impacts due to their location close to the ground, and their contents must be specially protected.
Corrosion protection in the cavity
Cavity structures of vehicle bodies form efficient constructions with high stiffness and crash protection relevance and therefore they must be protected against corrosion, especially in the presence of moisture.
Corrosion protection in the cavity and engine compartment
Vehicle cavities and underbodies are the areas most exposed to moisture and stone chipping and therefore require long-term flexible protection against corrosion.
Corrosion protection of joints
Force-fit and form-fit joints are of great importance in automotive engineering, especially in mixed construction, but are susceptible to corrosion and must therefore be protected against moisture at the contact points.
Protection of battery system screws
Moisture must not be allowed to reach the electrical components in battery systems, so the sealing points must be specially protected.
Protection of battery system seals
Moisture must not be allowed to reach the electrical components in battery systems, so the sealing points must be specially protected.
Protection of battery system underbodies
Battery boxes are among the most sensitive areas in the vehicle. Their underbodies must therefore not only be protected from corrosion initiated by isolated stone chips, but also withstand constant stress.
Protection of cavities in battery systems
In battery systems, aluminum extrusions are needed for battery stiffness and are often combined with other materials, which can lead to accelerated corrosion.
Protection of surfaces in battery systems
Various structural battery elements made of steel and aluminum, such as lids, must be protected against corrosion. The outer surfaces are repeatedly exposed to mechanical stresses during assembly and function.
Protective coatings: Stone chipping
Various structural elements made of steel and aluminum, e.g. covers, steering rods and beams, must be protected against corrosion and stone chipping.Stone chip protection of axle beams
Vehicle axle beams are exposed to high stresses from stone chipping and weathering and must therefore be protected from corrosion.
Storage and transport protection
Unwanted corrosion is a daily companion in many industrial manufacturing processes, as well as in the subsequent transportation of finished goods and products.
Thick-film protection: constant stone chips
The underbody of a vehicle is the most corrosive area of a vehicle - especially in cold climates and in a maritime climate, it has to withstand salt and high and constant to stone chips in exposed areas.
Underbody protection
The underbody is the area of a vehicle most exposed to weathering and stone chipping and therefore requires long-term flexible protection against corrosion.Universal cavity and underbody protection
Vehicle cavities and underbodies are the areas most exposed to moisture and stone chipping and therefore require long-term flexible protection against corrosion.
