Chemetall’s metal pretreatment technology can be found in every second car. It is essential as it affords long-term corrosion protection and ensures optimal paint adhesion. For the growing mix of metals used on car bodies we offer our eco-friendly Oxsilan® technology.
Metal pretreatment plays a vital role in automotive manufacturing. If it runs smoothly, the result is a perfect surface. Optimal paint gloss is of course only achieved in combination with an adequate paint system and metal substrate. This is why we have cultivated very close relationships with all leading paint producers. Together, we optimize existing processes and develop new technical solutions for product innovations.
