SurTec, a specialist in surface technologies, will show how chromium(VI) coatings can be replaced by more environmentally friendly solutions at the International Suppliers Fair (IZB) 2022. SurTec has OEM approvals in the automotive industry. "When it comes to coating battery housings, reliable protection against corrosion is of paramount importance, as the batteries of e-vehicles are located in the underbody of the vehicle due to their design and are therefore permanently exposed to a wide variety of environmental influences," says Dr. Jens Krömer, Director Global Markets at SurTec
SurTec 650, a bright corrosion protection for light metals, is especially suitable for this application, enabling state-of-the-art, lightweight battery housings with a reliable and long service life. SurTec 650, in combination with a gasket, prevents moisture from entering the battery housing. The technology ensures low electrical contact resistance and provides electromagnetic compatibility.
