Underbody Coating

Precise dosing for optimum corrosion protection

UBC (Underbody Coating)

In the automotive industry, effective and long-lasting corrosion protection is essential for the body and underbody areas. Adhesives, sealants, and insulating materials are applied with the highest precision. Particularly when sealing transition areas such as adhesive and welded seams before painting, absolute accuracy is required to prevent water from penetrating the vehicle interior. Additionally, visually appealing flanged seams must be created, and robust protective layers against stone chipping must be applied.

Since these materials are often highly filled, they are subjected to extreme stress during processing. The precise dosing of these substances presents a significant challenge, especially with high viscosities and abrasive properties. For decades, mechanical flow meters were used for these applications – but the technological shift towards Coriolis mass flow meters is now fully underway.
