Component Identification:






Underbody protection/ stone chip protection (UBS)
The underbody area of a vehicle is particularly exposed to the effects of corrosion.

Stone chips, splash water and grit can easily cause severe damage here.

In order to protect the undersides against these negative effects, a permanently flexible, high-strength underbody protection is applied, in thicknesses designed to meet the particular demands.

Coating with underbody protection provides excellent corrosion protection, optimum stone chip protection and noise insulation.

The energy from the impact of the stone chips is absorbed due to the flexibility. Penetration down to the sheet metal is avoided, and potential corrosion is prevented.
