More efficient and safer commercial vehicles - ContiTech makes them possible with trend-setting technologies such as thin foils for car interiors, a translucent concertina wall with graffiti protection, a lining for fuel tanks and fuel lines for heavy-duty engines. ContiTech is showcasing these products at the 63rd International Motor Show (IAA) in Hanover (September 23 to 30) in hall 17, booth B05/A06.
Special foil as alternative to lacquered injection molded parts
The surface specialist Benecke-Kaliko has developed the new DecoJect(TM) thin foil as a low-cost alternative to lacquered injection molded parts. This foil opens up new interior design options with an expanded range of colors, patterns and effect paints. In contrast to injection molded parts, the foil makes it possible to match the color and shine to the other components. It is also scratch- and wear-proof and pleasant to the touch. In addition, simple interior decor changes require little set-up time.
Rubber lining makes fuel tanks safer
Greater safety is to be provided by a rubber lining for fuel tanks in commercial vehicles. The 1.2 mm thin material is inserted in the tank as a second protective skin with the purpose of enhancing safety in the event of a crash. The material is already used successfully in motor racing and is known for its remarkable puncture- and tear-resistance.
Easy-to-clean concertina wall with graffiti protection
A further highlight from ContiTech is the new generation of translucent concertina walls for articulated buses. Thanks to a newly developed anti-stick material, the concertina wall is now also resistant to course dirt and graffiti. This also means that fewer cleaning processes are required and aggressive cleaning agents are no longer need. The translucent characteristic provides light refraction, thus intensifying the degree of brightness. Thanks to a new design - including cable ducts at the top for air conditioning or heating hoses - the concertina wall module can now be adapted more flexibly to the various requirements of bus manufacturers.
Fuel lines for heavy-duty engines
ContiTech Fluid Technology has developed extremely resilient fuel lines especially for high-power truck engines with up to 16 l capacity and reduced fuel consumption. The new lines can withstand pressures of up to 35 bar and operating temperatures of up 130°C. Conventional lines are not able to cope with the requirements of these heavy duty engines.
