Removal of PVC material in repair area
Body protection after repair work starts by stripping PVC underbody protection, sound deadener and seam sealant
away from the repair area.
Remove PVC material with a rotating steel brush, or heat PVC to maximum 180
°
C with a hot air blower and scrape off
with a spatula. When burning off PVC material or heating above 180
°
C with a gas burner or similar tool, highly-
corrosive hydrochloric acid forms and, in addition, hazardous vapours are emitted. The new lining does not form a
satisfactory bond with burnt PVC material which means that subsequent sub-surface rust may set in.
