Coatings
It may look thin, but it takes many layers – and a lot of expertise
Comprising just a tenth of a millimeter, all four layers of automotive coatings are no thicker than a human hair. Nevertheless, the surface has to be resistant to high stress. This makes automotive coatings a technologically demanding and complex product.
For years, a vehicle’s surface will be exposed to rain, UV radiation, heat and cold, gravel from the road and the brushes at the car wash. To ensure that the car survives these stresses unscathed, we offer innovative technologies and solutions for all coating layers, both for the car body as well as the plastic add-on parts. Learn more about the different layers and the product portfolio we offer.
Reducing the ecological footprint towards CO2 neutrality is one of the most important goals in the automotive industry – especially when it comes to coating and pre-treatment processes. Because paintshops are responsible for more than 60 % of used energy in vehicle production at automotive factory. With the GLASS tool, we offer you an analytical approach that creates transparency and supports you in making well-informed decisions for sustainable surface solutions, balancing ecological goals with business outcomes.
