What makes PVC Important for Vehicles?
PVC makes a major contribution to the quality, safety and cost-effectiveness of modern road vehicles, as well as reducing their impact on the environment. In automotive applications it is the most important polymer and gives many benefits which we now take for granted - and would not like to lose.
In technical terms, the particular versatility of PVC allows for precise adjustments to its material properties to give the exact performance and quality requirements for specific enduse applications.
The benefits of PVC are that it:
Makes cars last longer
The average service life of a modern road vehicle is now 17 years
in contrast to 111/2 years in the 1970s. PVC has made a special contribution to this as the
principal protector of the underbody (in the form of a wear-resistant coating), as sealants
against humidity and in other protective profiles. The durability of PVC has also made it a first choice for the cladding of interior parts such as dashboards and door panels. Longer lasting cars also mean a saving of natural resources.
Conserves fossil fuels
PVC itself is a material with comparatively low energy consumption
thereby cutting down depletion of natural resources. In vehicles, this is enhanced further by the lightness of PVC components in comparison to traditional materials, therefore reducing weight and thus fuel consumption.
Reduces noise for car occupants
The sound-dampening properties of PVC in carpet
backings, coatings and linings cuts down noise for the driver and passengers, increasing comfort and reducing stress.
Make cars more affordable
PVC compounds used in vehicles offer excellent costperformance
advantages. As a result, they bring more quality vehicles into the price range of a greater number of people.
Helps save lives
PVC is important in shock absorbing car components such as 'soft' dashboards, reducing injury in the case of impact. In addition, its fire retardant properties contribute to the overall safety of the car.
Increases design freedom
This freedom given by PVC in car interiors allows for even the
most chalenging designs to enhance the comfort of car interiors. PVC can be made to give
many attractive qualities of appearance and leather-like softness.
Sepid Khodro – Sepitak's car underbody
This product is specially formulated for car underbodies and should be baked after being applied in 130/160 C.
Having thicsotropic characteristics makes its application easier because the coating can easily flow into nozzles and pipes of the airless spray, consequently, it would save time in production line of car manufacturers.
Sepid khodro has sound proofing characteristic and seal car underbodies in front of different weather circumstances, acids, salts and bases.
Properties:
- One component and easy to be applied
- Good adhesion property
- Not having hazardous elements to put human life in danger
- Homogenized
- Being resistant in front of shocks caused by sands
- Easy applications
- Resistant to chemical agents such as acid, base and different salts
- Odorless
- No sedimentation
- No change in viscosity after being stored
- No gas production after storage
Application method:
PVC car underbody can be applied by airless spray
Storage condition:
It can be stored at least for 6 months in good storage circumstances, away from direct Sun rays in temperature between 25~40 C.
