Next Generation Metal Pretreatment for Multi-Metal Vehicles
BONDERITE Thin Film Process Drives Lightweighting & Sustainability while Reducing Costs
Enable Corrosion Prevention Across All Major Metals
As we enter into a new era for the automotive industry, automakers are faced with competing requirements and pressure to deliver reduced cost, improved sustainability and increased use of lightweight material – just to name a few. These needs grow more pronounced with the substantial growth of the electric vehicle market and advanced driver assistance systems - IHS predicts there will be 18 million electric vehicles in global production by 2024.
Next generation metal pretreatment helps support and enable these market drivers, decreasing complexity, contributing to significant environmental improvements and providing a path forward for the increased use of lightweight metals, including up to 100 percent aluminum.
Annual sustainability improvements include:
- 30-40 less energy consumption
- 80-90 percent less sludge
- 40-50 percent less water consumption
These benefits add up to an annual cost savings of 20-40 percent, compared to traditional zinc phosphating. Learn more in our presentation.
