Stress during operation and the effects of weather put the steel construction of every vehicle to the test. The Faymonville Group meets these challenges with an advanced surface protection system.
This principle is applied as standard to every vehicle.
Every stage – from shot-blasting to full-surface zinc/aluminium metallization and the final coating – is carried out in-house, continuously developed and tested based on meaningful parameters.
Maximum protection is hard to exceed:
- After a 2,400-hour salt spray test, a pre-made one-millimeter scratch shows no red rust
- 100% active protection against red rust
- High zinc content provides a self-healing effect
- Excellent edge protection through mechanical anchoring
- Optimal adhesion of the coating system in case of chain impacts or stone chips
- The highest protection standard in the vehicle industry
The surface protection process by the Faymonville Group includes:
- Machine blasting
- Manual blasting
- Zinc spraying by electric arc
- Joint sealing
- Two-component top coat
- Cavity sealing
- Optional: complete seawater-resistant preservation
