Product description

Wax underseal -D 316 000 A1- offers excellent long-term underbody corrosion protection.

Wax underseal is based on a solvent-free, oxidative-drying system and offers excellent underbody corrosion protection.

This corrosion protection is the result of very good adhesion to metal surfaces at both very low and high temperatures.

The product creates a light-brown, elastic coating which is firm to the touch.

It is not necessary to raise the temperature to produce a film coating.

Application

The material is used primarily in automotive applications.

Ensure that the substrates are dry.

The ready-to-use product is applied by brush at a material temperature between 20 and 35 °C.

When required by the application method, the material can be gently heated to maximum 45 °C directly () before application.

The oxidative curing product may already develop a skin on the surface after only a short time. This has no influence on its anti-corrosion protection or other properties
