PVC corrosion protection measures - PVC underseal / PVC protection from chippings

The areas that are susceptible to damage from chippings are specially coated with PVC underseal. The aim of this is to achieve permanent protection.

PVC underseal is applied on top of the priming.

Body sealing plug and cover

Sealing plug

Some of the sealing plugs used to close up openings in the body are secured with a hot-melt adhesive.

The adhesive has already been applied to the new part.

A sealing plug with hot-melt adhesive is removed by supplying heat with a hot air blower

Heat up the body area around the plug evenly until the adhesive melts and the sealing plug can be removed.

Use a new component for installation

When installing make sure that the area where the hot-melt adhesive must adhere is free from impurities and residues of adhesive.

Before inserting a plug, heat the surrounding area of the body uniformly (to approx. 120°C). Then insert the sealing plug and push it on. The hot-melt adhesive runs and seals the area. Afterwards, briefly heat the inserted sealing plug with the hot air blower (mad.0.5 min).
